How To Make A Good DJ Playlist

DJ PlayList

Aspiring DJs should build a great library of music FIRST.

YOU MUST KNOW YOUR MUSIC

• Know the BPM of your songs

Beats Per Minute. Arranging your dance music this way creates consistency in tempo and provides better continuity for people who are dancing.

• Know the harmony notes of beginning and end of songs

You can find software for that too. Here is one new software which I haven’t checked out yet but I won’t need it anyway for myself. Mixed In Key. I use Mixmeister Fusion which has all those features. It’s a great DJ software.

• Trim your songs

Long fade outs or talking and skits at the end can be trimmed. A good piece of free software for trimming unwanted bits from the beginning and end of songs is   Mp3Trim or   Mp3Directcut ( is my preferred one).

• Normalize your songs

Normalizing your songs will bring the volume levels in line with each other, so that the volume stays fairly consistent.
An easy way to normalize a collection of MP3s is to use a free piece of software called  Mp3Gain .

Select and combine the tracks into the same BPM harmoniously if possible. If harmony can’t be done then just beat match it and that should be OK.

Keep building the play list.

• Building A CD Mix?
  

Try this!

First track should be an instrumental (no vocals) and the duration shorter than 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Second track should have vocals and should not be longer than 4 minutes.

All  the rest of the tracks should be less than 5 minutes each.

Take in Requests?

As a commercial DJ, you are EXPECTED to know just about everything and HAVE just about everything they will ask for.

Take your DJ career serious? Then GET serious!

Getting The People To Dance

Getting The People To Dance

Right here is a DJ tip when you got an empty dance floor, what to do?

See what kind of people and try to feel and be one of them.

Find and play an older track that you have seen on crowded dance floors before.

Play the famous old dancing track and you will see the people will start to trickle onto the dance floor.

Be sure you are playing the right style for the kind of  people there.

Throw in more older tracks of the same style.

When you got the floor hot then mix a  recent new track  then throw in a spanking new track .

So you don’t look that you are outdated.

Most probably the crowd on the floor will thin out, if not continue on the new music, but if so then back down to the older tracks  to keep the place warm.

Sometimes when playing brand new music, the people just don’t know the music  and so things can be cold and the dancing just won’t start.

If you got some friends, tell them to be on dance floor till it packs up.

You can also try  the Electric Slide Dance if the music just wont start it up.

Another way to get your guests dancing is to dance yourself !

Let’s dance!

Peace
