DJ Intelligence is a service used by many DJ’s. One great perk that is shared to all is their cumulative request list. Dj Intelligence takes the request list generated by clients of DJ’s and DJ’s and compiles the Top 200 most requested songs. This is great place to start building your list. I find that most of my clients request 30-50 songs from this exact list.
From there, a good DJ should be able to look at your request and understand you musical preferences. You’ll always want to leave about 40-50% of your time to the DJ. Although you might have good musical taste, your guest might night. Leave this space and let your DJ fill in the music with guest request and preferences.
Some clients often feel as though they should pick all the songs. Personally, I’m against this but I will play them after a conversation about this very post. If clients understand that if I play their chosen request and ignore guest, the dance floor might be empty, then I’ll follow their specific request. In many cases, I’ll have them initial an amendment on the contract for assurance.
If you hire a good DJ, they should be able to read the crowd and know what the crowd wants to dance to. Don’t save money with inexperienced DJ’s who have not developed this skill. Make sure you book an experienced DJ who can adjust when the time is needed. If you’re unsure, you can always go back to the Top 200 from DJ Intelligence.
