Static-X and Papa Roach!? LOL. That would be a lame ass party. No offense. I used to dj part time for some local clubs and did a lot for house parties in my late teens and I find playing some old school hip hop always gets good party vibes and people's booties bouncing.
It always depends on the age group of course but it works most of the time.
Here is a good 90% of my old track list.

Biz Markie - 'nobody beats the biz', 'make the music with your mouth biz', 'something for the radio'
D-Nice - 'they call me d-nice'
Brand Nubian - 'all for one', 'slow down', 'punks jump up to get beat down'
