Make a DJ Playlist – What You Need to Know to Make a Killer Playlist

If you want to make a DJ playlist, you need to first think about your audience.

(After all, it is the audience you want to keep happy right?)

Here are some considerations to make -

• Ages - Are they mostly younger or older? What if it's a broad range of ages? What music would cross these age gaps?
• Gender - Mostly girls? Mostly guys?
• Culture - Are they from another culture? Would they like some ethnic music?
• Socio-Culture - Even if they are not from another culture, sociology still plays a big part of choosing your music wisely.
• Venue - Is the venue a dance venue? Maybe it's a country music venue? What about jazz?
• Event - Is it a wedding? A birthday or just a party?

All things must be carefully considered in order to strike a balance of the right music played at the right time.

Playing music that keeps 99% of the crowd happy at all times is the mark of a great DJ. (You can't keep 100% of the people happy 100% of the time, no DJ in the world could do that!). But try and aim to keep the vast majority of the room in a good mood and you will get a lot of referrals and great kudos.

Word of mouth advertising is 10 times more effective than any paid advertising.

Do a great job right from your very first gig and you will never be out of paid work. (And really well paid work once you gain a good reputation!)

Don't be one of those DJs who spends hundreds (or even thousands) on their equipment but deny the most important aspect of what a DJ is employed for ... the music!

I recommend that aspiring DJs should build a great library of music FIRST. Even before they buy all the equipment needed. Build a library of great music that people want THEN look at the gear you need. Even skills such as mixing, beat-mixing etc can come later. There is an excellent resource available - Click Here

Here you will find details on how to download a pre-made list that we KNOW works!

If you are worried about the expense of buying all the music you need, there is good news here too! You can legally download MP3 tracks for only .20c per track! Visit http://www.heapsofinfo.com and follow the link for MP3 downloads.

Don't be afraid to spend some time and money on building a quality library of music before wasting your money on equipment that will NEVER pay itself off if you aren't keeping your audience happy.

If you are worried about the expense of buying the pre-created playlist and the music you need ... consider the expense of NOT buying these crucial DJ items!
