DJing parties

DJing is not as easy as people think. It doesn't just consists of standing up and playing music in from of a crowed. To DJ well and make people like you and want to hire you again, it takes a lot more then that. first of all when u get the gig u have to know what kinda party they want. For instance, if the parties and dinner party or a business party then u would play chill music and music that fits that acation. Now if they want it to be a dance party or celebration theme party then i would play dance music and bring light, and not just DJ for them but perform.


when i get to a gig the first thing i do is look and see what kinda people are in the crowed. If its older people or more of a younger crowed or a mixture of both. The first the first song i play something that's really good and catchy but not to fast or loud. I play it at about 3/4 volume that I'm gonna be playing for the rest of the night. Ill continue playing these kind of popular chill songs and if i see that most of the party is here or they aren't that into the music, ill play something a little fast and louder.


After about 15 min. when i see that nobody else in coming in and people are done eating or are ready to get up and dance. ill make my MC (MC Prev) make an anuchment saying something like this..


"how are you guys doing tonight, were glad to be here, now I know you guys are wanting to dance right!. Were gonna pump up the music now and i better see all u guys on the dance floor!"


I would play a dance song weather its a rap/ hip hop dance song or a line dance song, considering the kinda people in the crowed. Ill keep the music loud and pumping of dance music. Then if there's a mix of ages there ill slowly transition into older dance music or more popular dance music. I have special songs that I can Transition songs that I know younger people like them as well as the old. I'll play two of these for a nice transition after a block of music.


If the crowed is willing I usually try to play one slow songs before the end of the night. for the last couple songs I like to play song that everybody loves and can sing alone too. i always cranked the volume up for the last song and give a big finish. And trust me if feels good seeing the smiles of the peoples faces when they walk out the door! that's DJ Scuilli
