I play your music.
Why wouldn’t I?
In this brief article I will explain the music I play and how this is very different than some other Mobile Discos.
Many of my clients contact me through recommendations as they know I will use my experience to make their party a truly memorable occasion, and importantly maintain a flexible approach playing the music which they want to hear.
1. Experience Matters
A critical aspect to any experienced Mobile DJ is to have a wide knowledge of all types of music, and know what to play and when, and also have a good memory! This is down to experience and skill of the DJ as well as knowing their audience. It’s what us DJs call ‘reading your audience’ or ‘reading the room’ and it’s a skill acquired over time, and many years.
It takes years to build up a competent level of experience. There is no short cut. I play your music.
So whether you require music from a themed 1940’s night to the latest chart tunes, you can relax knowing that East Anglian Discos has the experience & breadth of music to make your occasion a success.
2. Knowing what to play & when
I play your music that you want to hear. This means assembling music in an order which suits the crowd and the occasions which avoids jumping randomly between genres, in order to keep the floor full all evening.
No two weddings or parties are ever the same and the guests music preferences will always be different. This means being flexible and agile and using our knowledge to keep the vibe and energy going throughout the evening.
3. The Playlist
I welcome your music playlists. Many discos will refuse to accept any client playlist but my motto is ‘your party, your music’.
The playlist gives me good insight into what music you and your guests want to hear. I recommend a playlist should be no more than 30 tracks (about 2 hours worth of music). That’s because it gives flexibility for requests during the evening and also allows me to use my knowledge to play great tunes, to enhance those chosen tunes on the playlist.
Whilst I’m happy to receive longer playlists of more than 30 songs, from my experience over the years, I find that these longer lists don’t tend to work quite as well for the reasons which I’ve mentioned above.
I ask clients to provide me with their list 2 weeks before the function. I do this to ensure that I am familiar with all of the songs. This also gives me and the client an opportunity to discuss any particular songs or to query anything such as ensuring the song title is correct etc.
4. Requests on the day
I play your music and that means happily accepting and accommodating those important requests on the night.
This means trying to ensure that I play requests from you and your guests.
No DJ will ever have carry in their collection every single song which has ever been released! So what do we do? Professional DJs if they don’t own a track on their database will typically use a professional paid licence service allowing them to stream these requests through a wifi connection.
5. Songs to Avoid
I play your music. This means that clients will sometimes ask me not to play certain songs or genre for a variety of reasons.
That’s absolutely fine with me. Just let me know in advance.
6. Checking Versions
I play your music. Please be assured, that I check all the songs and I will ensure that I will only play clean versions of every song.
