Figuring Out How To Select A DJ For An Grooving Party

By Maria Conkle


If you are throwing a party it is great to hire a professional DJ that can get your guest dancing and having a wonderful time. Having great music and a DJ who knows what to play and how to read the crowd is an important ingredient for memorable party. Here we take a look at how to select a DJ to make your party memorable.

The first consideration when throwing a party is working out which type of music to play. At a wedding reception or family celebration there will be people of all ages. Therefore it may be better to hire a DJ who is experienced with these types of parties and will play classic pop tunes that everyone knows and loves.

If your party is mainly for people of your own generation who are young then you have many choices. You could have a party that plays dance music, such as Dubstep, Progressive House Techno, Drum and Bass etc. Or you could have a party that plays Indie Music, by bands such as The Smiths, Joy Division, Tame Impala, Neon Indian, Stone Roses and many others.

OF course you do not need to stick to just one genre of music at your party. You could have several DJs that each play a specific style. This way you can create a party that plays music for everyone, from reggae to hardcore techno.

A good DJ will be able to judge the kind of music the crowd wants to hear. This is especially important for dance music, as the mood of the crowd can be used to judge the tempo and style of music.

Some DJs care happy to use their laptop and software to play MP3 music files, but many DJs still prefer to use record decks and play records. Many DJs mix their own music and use samples to create new tunes. Many famous Hip Hop DJs take this approach such as DJ Shadow and DJ Vadim.

Sometimes the choice is easy if you have seen a particular DJ before. If you are at a party and the DJ is to your liking it is well worth asking them for their card or contact details. Your friends or family members may also be able to make recommendations, especially if they have thrown a party of their own. Good DJs will want to know as many details regarding the party as possible. It is worth taking a look at the DJs music collection and ask them what they know about music. Some DJs tend to play the music that they would like to hear, but this approach rarely works well.

So if you are wondering how to select a DJ following this advice should help. A good DJ is easy to find with a little effort, which is worth taking in order to have that perfect party people will remember. There may also be DJs that have websites so you can contact them that way, and also hear some samples of their sets.
