Once you have that, you will want nothing less!
The Spectrum of DJs: More Than Just Music
There is a wide spectrum of DJs in the world of music and entertainment. You have announcers with big, booming voices, comedians, music specialists, and mixers who can seamlessly blend an artistic web of music together by ear alone. Many good DJs possess several of these skills and have hopefully polished them over time.
What is Intuitive DJing?
But there’s one skill that has only recently been named: Intuitive DJing. An intuitive DJ has the ability to observe a crowd, listen to guests, and instinctively know what they want. Sometimes, they understand the mood and desires of the audience better than the guests themselves can express. They read the crowd like a book, listen to requests, and choose the perfect song—one that not only satisfies the individual who made the request, but delights most of the guests as well.
Mastering the Crowd: The DJ’s Role as an Artist
An intuitive DJ is an artist, weaving a musical masterpiece that spans different genres, styles, and moods. They tap into the emotions of your guests, skillfully elevating or relaxing the energy as needed. The right songs, in the perfect order, tailored to the unique mix of guests on and off the dance floor, paired with a few well-timed spoken words delivered in the right tone, are the “icing on the cake.” The end result? Everyone has a fantastic time. People leave a little happier than when they arrived. It’s not uncommon for a guest or client to approach the DJ at the end of the event to say, “Thank you so much” or “You were awesome!”
The truth is… an intuitive DJ simply brings out the awesomeness in you. It’s your party—you and your guests are the real stars, not the DJ. You’ll recognize one of these DJs by their lack of arrogance and bravado. They are polished, confident, and yet humble. They fully understand that hosting your party is an honor, and they don’t take that responsibility lightly.
