This Is How You Can Boost Your Set BY Thinking out Side of the Box MR and MRS Mobile DJ

0:00 Style music

Right then, so you're a mobile DJ and like me, you have a kind of a playlist for your weddings. So let's take a stereotypical wedding, you know, mum and dad, auntie, uncle, nephew, niece there, bride and groom are in their late 20s, early 30s, it doesn't really matter because generally... What I find in the UK may be the same where you are around the world, of course depending on what country because you've got your style of music for the clientele. For the language, for example, you could be in the middle of Istanbul or Spain or Germany or France so of course you've got that style of music that you will play and people will request but generally in America and England We seem to stick to the same kind of music, very party going, very middle of the road, the sort of stuff that people know they can sing along to and dance to. But maybe you're like me, you get stuck in a rut of playing the same tracks. You've got tracks that you know are foolproof, you know, you're Macarena, you're Robbie Williams, you're Michael Jackson, reel-to-reel Robin S, you know what I mean? What I'd like you to do, first of all,

1:23 Only to find that the reaction is astounding

Now, what I want you to do in a comment is post some of the tracks that you played during the course of a wedding when you go, I'm just going to try this. I know people know it, but I'm going to try it and see what the reaction's like on the floor. Only to find that the reaction is astounding. People love it because it's like, wow! The DJ's playing something that we haven't heard in ages that's different. Like for example, these boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do because one of these days these boots are going to walk all over you. The Eye of the Tiger. I mean, all right, that's a sort of a track you probably would play at the right time, but don't play that kind of tune when the atmosphere is a bit volatile. This will be another video in the future based on how to calm the crowd down and also how to lift them up if they're being boring. So, in a comment, what I want you to do is post that track or the tracks that you've played

That you're a little bit dubious to playing to begin with, but you were very pleased you played them because it brought the crowd onto the dance floor. It kept them on the dance floor and you thought, well, why haven't I played this many times before? All right. So in a comment put one, two, three tracks. It's entirely up to you. Whatever. But tracks that you would not normally play at a wedding, but you found that by playing them at the wedding, they're now on your number one playlist and you're going to carry on playing them, alright? Now, I'm not on about, you know, your Macarena and stuff like that because they're party tunes and to be quite honest, even though the Macarena does my bloody head in, people like it. They want to hear it. You know, Oops Upside Your Hen, Gap Band, Cooling The Gang's Celebration, just to name a few.

That the sort of really uplifting tunes. But what have you played that has made you think, wow, why didn't I play this before? All right, chuck it in a comment. Let me know. Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy.
