<p>Before I started my entertainment marketing firm, In 2 It Media, I used to be a DJ on the radio in Miami and then I played my friends' parties at the most up to date dives in NY, the Hamptons, LA and Vegas for roughly ten years. While I don't have the incredible talent level of some of the iconic DJs who are said to be the best in the world for their fantastic cutting, mixing, scratching and producing strategies like Paul Oakenfold, DJ AM, DJ Vice and Grandmaster Flash to name a couple, i have always been an excellent song selector and that is probably the most vital element when spinning a party. Choosing the right music to keep the party going and putting folk in the mood to dance the night away and socialise is a skill form. 1 Don't play music at deafening loud levels - you do not want your guests' ears to be ringing the day after or your party to be shut down for violating your local noise ordinance. 3 Avoid music mood killers, i.e. Your party music shouldn't make y
our visitors go to sleep ( I have seen this occur before ) or feel like they are waiting to get a root canal at their dentist's office. At the GRAMMY Party I produced for recording artist and actor Ludacris in 2007, the music was so hot all night long that everyone was in a party mood till about 3am. DJ Felli Fel kept the dancefloor packed in the main room and upstairs DJ Vice had the VIP room, which was a who's who of the entertainment industry singing along and rocking out to the music. Queen Latifah, Nick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo, Ryan Phillippe and Quentin Tarantino were all feeling DJ Vice's old school set featuring Michael Jackson, Prince, Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire and Madonna which he easily blended into the person of the hour, Ludacris' GRAMMY award winning hits. This completely set the scene for Ludacris to rock the mic and give partygoers a celebratory set. Others joined in like Busta Rhymes and Kanye West who worked the room and did impromptu sets while DJ Vi
ce held it down on the turntables. Party Music 101 DO'S : 1 If you have got a DJ playing your party then make sure to discuss your event with him/her in advance and feel free to give the DJ a playlist and a Do Not Playlist that way the DJ can play your favourite tunes and also avoid the tracks you hate. If you're throwing a celebration at your home or office and the music will be played via CD or IPod, then make your own playlist for the event that may be a soundtrack for the party. If you are hosting a soiree you want guests to be in a position to hear one another and the tunes will serve as background music so jazz, lounge music, downtempo house music and R&B would work best at a party. The best music for that is a mixture of classic hits ( like what DJ Vice played for Ludacris and his friends ) and current Top forty tracks that everyone knows. Think Pop, hip hop and Dance Music and you may also chuck in a little disco ( Music by The Bee Gees & Donna Summer are always d
ance floor anthems ). If you are employing a mix, then make sure that the CD plays and doesn't skip. These starter tips should aid you in making sure your party is a massive success and everyone seems to be dancing and having a great time. For more information, check out for more info. .
