What's up I got a party coming up here in South Carolina. It's a Christmas party for an hospital. Of course I'm going to keep it clean but I'm trying to build a good crate with a variety of hits. This is going to be my first event I need to set the bar high any suggestion. Calling all Djs!use to say I'd never do this but after seeing how helpful you guys have been toward each other so I figured I'll give it a shot.

Too late.


You have to learn to crawl before you walk/run, etc.

Find a qualified DJ in your area who can bail you out and HELP you at the actual gig. Pay him if you have to and don't fuck up next time.

Lol I'm no rookie I understand I may have came off as one but no where near. I got my warm up, peaks, and close out mainly hip hop, reggae, Latin, and r&b. I should have clarified that I'm looking for the pop hits to make my joint a little more diverse. Cool thanks for the lesson got it.

Pop hits to make the joint a little more diverse...

Diversity how? Culturally, generationally, ethnically, demographically??? Throw in some 80's hits and you'll be fine. The 80's were all over the board musically.

Point well taken the black one and everyone else thanks for the bashing to the ones that provided good info thanks. My first event in South Carolina. I don't blame you guys for bashing me I didn't state all the details. After reading it I can see where you coming from. Overall I still think the forum it's helpful next time I post I'll make sure I post all the details. Until then I'll search before I post thanks. To the black one as harsh as you and your other buddies were I did get your point.

Okay. He's been blazed enough.
Do some Google searches on Top 40 over the last decade or so. Get all that.
Search best all time Christmas songs. Get all that.
Search best of 80's. Get all that.
All jokes aside: get "Dick in a box" off SNL. I honestly get requests for that at every Christmas party every year. Stupid I know.
Be sure to acquire a good arsenal of Christmas songs. New and old, serious and stupid.
Start building good communication with the party guests from the get go. Ask for requests. Play reasonable requests. The vibe is created. Build off that vibe.
Works for me year after year, office party after office party. Good luck.

Just my opinion Bez. May differ from yours.

If you want to help him, go for it. Maybe you two can start working together....you can split those $400 weddings you do...smh
KING JAMES 9:31 PM - 5 November, 2013
Lol thanks
Dj Rehab 1:27 AM - 6 November, 2013
in 14 years of spinning Xmas parties, i've never played a Christmas song. That 70's and 80's funk, classic 80's rap(Bust A Move, etc..........the line dances and some top 40( the very most overplayed) will do fine. Similar to a wedding(a good one).
