Anybody do a post-punk DJ night?

Well I did mention the Contortions. But, yeah, I've never spun this stuff without having them, Liquid Liquid and Pigbag in the crate. Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag is a goddamned monster.
Now that I'm actually putting my records together for tonight, here's a few more that I always bring:
these all kill:
pylon - danger
the dance - she likes to beat
section 25 - dirty disco
a certain ratio - shack up, lucinda, the fox, etc.
delta 5 - try, colour, mind your own business, etc.
ruts DC - push yourself make it work
PIL - death disco
esg - moody
maximum joy - strech, searching for a feeling
liquid liquid - optiomo, cavern
sonic youth - burning spear
material - secret life
talking head - w/our love, born under punches, pull up the roots, etc.
tom tom club - wordy rappinghood
23 skidoo - vegas
crass - walls
was not was - wheel me out
modettes - white mice (sherwood mix)
glaxo babies - shake, max sexual joy
jah wobble & holger czukay - how much are they
bush tetras - das ah riot, too many creeps, can't be funky
medium medium - hungry so angry (sherwood mix)
schlaflose nachte - move
pop group - she is beyond good and evil, where there's a will
the fall - totally wired
flying lizards - move on up
malaria - your turn to run
kleenex - ain't you, u
blurt - get
orange juice - rip it up
clash - this is radio clash
APB - all your life
slits - grapevine
lora logic - brute fury

Damnit guys, I'm trying to save money now and you're making my wantlist grow! Great thread, I need that Maximum Joy and Lizzy Mercier Descloux for sure.
Don't have much to contribute, though I did recently stumble on Varve "Bamboo Curtain" recently which is pretty nice. Couldn't find anything on youtube though.

Where is your night? What's it called? What's the vibe like? Do people dance?
I've dreamed about doing a post punk night for years, but never pulled the trigger because I don't have enough of it to make it interesting week to week. I swear there is enough for me to pull off an interesting night, but I would have to end up playing the same records every week, unless I committed all my time to unearthing new stuff. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to do that.
BTW this thread is great. There are tons of classic tunes listed here, and a few I've never heard of. I can't wait to get my filthy paws on some of them...
