Figuring Out How To Select A DJ For The Ideal House Party

By Bill Schmidt


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.

One great way to have a party is hire several DJs, all of whom play a particular genre of music. For example you could begin your party with classic reggae and finish with some fast drum and bass.

Experienced DJs are able to read the crowd of dancers and play music accordingly. This is an important skill to have when playing dance music, as the rhythms and tempos can reflect the behavior of the crowd. This can make a party last all night.

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 trying to figure out how to select a DJ why not follow steps above. Good DJs are not difficult to find, but the right one will know exactly how to create the perfect party so that all the guests will still be talking about it in years to come.
