Got an event to do on April 18th in Union, NJ at a VFW Hall. The time for the event is usual to me. 6:30-10:30. It's an international event meaning the DJ will have to play a lot of different music for this event. Spanish music, 80's 90's house music, reggae and so on.
I just found out today that the person who is organizing the event doesn't want anybody bothering the DJ. So no one can make a request at all.
I was told the person organizing the event talked with people attending the event and got them to give her songs they want to hear at the event. First time I had this happen. My friend said he's had it happen to him. They knew he had all the music they wanted for the event and nobody could make a request.
I've heard of DJs who don't take requests but never nothing like this. This should be an interesting event. We both said we don't have a problem with people asking for a request. I'm comfortable with taking request. If it fits the type of event we're doing and it will work, I will play it. Of course sometimes a request will clear the dance floor. I'm just happy with all my years of experience I usually can quickly recover the dance floor. So I'm leaving my partner to be the DJ for this event. My job will be taking pictures and video.
So he will have a list of songs to go by which will be a big help with this event. No issues just do as you're told and, do your best and get paid.
Oh let me add it's a costume event.
