Hour 1: Choose Music

What year did they graduate? Search the Internet for the “best songs” of the year they graduated. Like, “Top Songs from 1994” if the class graduated in 1994. Make sure you put together a ton of songs from that year and some of the best songs from “around” from that time period. FORMER. Since 1993 and 1995. For about the first hour you want to play this kind of music.

Hour 2: Play some of the top 40 current rock songs

Hour 3: Open the dance floor with Current Beat Music (Current Hip-Hop and some Current Rock Beat Music)

Hour 4: Play some slow love songs for couples to dance to and then open the dance floor again with some great dance music (try different sets and see how the crowd responds: Older Hip-Hop, Motown, Classic Rock Dance Stage , music in Spanish if the crowd likes Spanish (if the crowd seems to like it, go ahead, if it seems like you’re getting bored, change the setting).

End the evening by asking the host what his class song was. Play That and your night musically should have been a huge success.

What do you say when guests request songs? “I’ve already played it” or “I’ll work on that later”

What do you say when a guest tells you what music you should play? You can politely say, “Thanks for the suggestion, but let me be the DJ and have fun with your friends, we’ll take care of your stuff later” (smile).

When guests really want a song and are aggressive but not rude, they say things like; “Come on, if you play (this song) everyone will dance.” (people almost never do). Say ok. Put on your song and announce that this person requested (THAT SONG) and said that everyone would dance to it. People will hesitate to request songs, leaving you in control of the party.

What do you do when a guest gets belligerent about requests? With a smile, say, “Would you like to be a DJ?” Show them your mixer and say “ok, have fun.” Then walk away leaving them behind your cabin, see how quickly they panic.

This is your party, your music and you will never see these people again, so be very confident in your choices and decisions. Always be as polite as possible and never get angry (this shows you are losing control). If people ever get really mad at you and may pose a danger, turn off your gear, pack up, and go. It’s not worth getting emotionally destroyed or hurt. Stay cool and calm because you really are a great DJ!
