Song Selection

How do we decide what song to play next?

This is where your DJ needs to be part music programmer, part crowd psychologist and part remix artist. In the space of about three minutes all he or she has to do is:


1. Respond to the dance floor by picking the perfect song for your group at this moment (reading the crowd).

2. Align the beats if doing a beat mix and/or loop it seamlessly so it is in perfect tempo with the currently playing song.

3. Mix it in flawlessly so the dance floor never loses it's momentum.

Not always an easy task but well worth the effort when the right song is chosen and mixed perfectly!

Picking the right song is an art in itself. From the thousands of available songs, a DJ has to consider many options; How the next song will mix with the selection currently playing, what the clients like, what the guests are responding to, guest requests, who's currently on the dance floor and who's not and when it's time to change the pace or style of music.

An alert DJ makes mental notes of what songs got a good response from your guests and which ones didn't. He knows who's on his dance floor, what their energy level is, when it's time to keep the beat going and when it's time to take a risk.

Intuition and experience plays a big part here. At the right moment, a contrasting change in music can add energy and keep the celebration from getting stale. At the wrong time, it can be a disaster.



Looping, Pitch and Beats Per Minute

This is the technical meat and potatoes of mixing. With digital CD players, the BPM (Beats Per Minute) or speed of a song, can be changed to perfectly match another song within 1/100 of a second. Sometimes this is known as changing the "pitch" of a song although with the newer players the tempo can be changed without actually effecting pitch.

A new song can be mixed or brought in on the beat while the current song is still playing. During a perfect mix, it is impossible to tell where one song ends and another begins. The momentum of the dance floor continues without interruption!


Another CD player function is Seamless Looping . This allows the DJ to create a repeating loop of any part of a song. If the intro of a given song is not long enough, a loop can be created to make that intro as long as desired.

If the guests are really getting into a song that is going to be over shortly, a seamless loop can make it last indefinitely. Using these techniques judiciously puts the DJ in better control of his dance floor.
