It takes a good listener……

Recently Complete Music went out on a Saturday night to check out the local clubs and see what is new in the world of the club DJ’s.

We won’t mention any names but I am sad to report that the DJ we heard that night violated two of the basic first rules of business:

1. Play the music the people want to dance to.
2. The Microphone is a tool, not a toy.

We have all been there, you are at a club or a wedding, and the dance floor becomes a ghost town because the DJ forgot that it is your party not his.

As a DJ, I do have my favorite music and will try to entertain myself from time to time at a show and play a song I like. But no DJ should ever play music that does not work with the moment or the crowd. I make sure that if it’s a song I like, that the crowd and client will like it too BEFORE I press play.

In addition DJ’s should interact with the crowd in a positive way, not use the mic to hit on your guests or make inappropriate comments as our DJ this weekend did.

The success of any party depends on the DJ working with his crowd to get them in the mood to party and to provide them fuel to dance the night away. Complete Music DJ’s are trained to make sure they know what to play, how to interact with their crowd, and to respond to your needs at any event. Several of our DJ’s are also club DJ’s we all know the hardest part of any party is reviving the dance floor after you play a song that bombs.

This is why Complete Music not only has a pre-show interview so we can discuss what music you want for your event, but we also offer all our clients the chance to browse our music library online and to bring your own favorite music.

In addition, all Complete Music DJ’s train extensively on how to make announcements for events, how to get a crowd in the mood to have fun with icebreakers and special dances, and most importantly how to listen to a crowd to ensure we keep you dancing at your event.

When you are making plans for your special event, make sure your all your vendors listen to what you want for your party and are professionals who will follow through with what you want. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard clients complain that their DJ or other vendor just acted as if it was their party and ignored the client’s wishes.

In the end, it takes a good listener to be a great DJ. So keep those dance requests coming.

See you on the dance floor,
