How much are you planning to spend on lights? How are you planning to do rigging? If you want any other tips feel free to ask! However, if you can have someone running lights alongside the DJ, it does provide a good offering! Do you know any boards already? If so it’s probably good to use one you know well for this use case.
They should be selecting music based on what they know works and what a crowd likes, mixing the songs so they flow well, and keeping everyone happy. Spend more energy and emphasis on music if you are doing the music as well! That’s what you’re there for really (in most cases)Ī DJ shouldn’t just be fading two songs together. I guarantee the general public doesn’t care about or appreciate the lights as much as you or I might.
