Ever been caught in a musical pickle at a wedding, where the must-play song list doesn't even get the bride and groom moving? That's exactly what happened at my latest gig, and boy, was it a challenge! Dive into the world of wedding DJ-ing as I recount the chaotic yet hilarious experience of trying to juggle a sticky playlist that was more flop than bop. You’ll hear about the art of reading a dance floor, knowing when to ditch the doomed tracks, and keeping the energy alive with some impromptu genius. Spoiler alert: it involves an alternative rock set that saved the night!
This episode isn’t just a recount of musical mishaps; it's a treasure trove of lessons on balancing client requests with crowd vibes. I chat about the importance of having the couple on the dance floor for their must-play songs and how I navigated a playlist that made me question my life choices. From the moment when the bride left during her requested song to the 40-minute rock set that brought the house down, it’s a testament to the power of adaptability and the magic of music that everyone can groove to. If you're planning a wedding or just love behind-the-scenes DJ stories, this one’s for you!
Peace, Love & God Above! :-)
