Music Playlists | DJ Playlists | DJ Play Lists

If you have songs or tracks that you would like played at your wedding reception, party or event, my DJ playlist service is designed to help make sure you get exactly what you want.  Sometimes it can be hard to remember what a particular track, song or artist is called - so I have designed this special DJ play list service to help you find the music you want, and exclude the tracks or music styles you hate!

DJ Playlist Search

To do a Music search through my music collection click here and if you have trouble remembering the names of songs this page of music genres may be useful for you.

Requesting Tracks

If you decide to make a booking with me you will receive a username and password which will enable you to access the client area of my website; you can then create your own special request list. You will be able to add tracks and save it at any point up until 4 days before your actual event.

The entire database comprises of over 50,000 tracks/videos. As long as I am given at least 4 days notice I can ensure that ANY song listed on the database is with me for your event. You are of course welcome to supply your own CD(s) for any real rarities.

Playlist Length

When searching through this huge collection to create the request list, previously some clients became very excited at the huge choice available and drew up very lengthy request lists of over 70 songs! It is virtually impossible for a DJ to play such a request list and also makes it very restrictive for the DJ on the night and less able to react to what is happening on the dancefloor if I have to constantly keep looking at a list. Therefore I suggest that you keep your special requests to a dozen or so tracks, and I can then make sure that these are included along with other tracks within your chosen music genres.

How to Use the Playlist Service

When you enter the client area you will be able to access various planning forms, one of which is named "Requests":

Under the "Classification"  you can add any track you search for to one of 5 classifications.

Play If Possible
Must Play
Dedication
Do Not Play
Play Only If Requested

Please add songs that are very very special to you, to the "Must Play" list.
The "Play If Possible" list is to give me an idea of the types of music you like.
The "Dedication" is for if you want me to announce that the song is for someone in particular.
"Do Not Play" is for any tracks or styles of music you particularly dislike.*
"Play Only If Requested" means I will not play this track unless one of your guests requests it.

The maximum number of tracks that can be saved is 40 entries because, there are only so many songs that can be played in one night! Remember that for a 4-hour event, the maximum amount of songs that could be played is around 50! (Average of 4 minutes per song played back to back).

Songs Not on the Play Lists?

The database is updated two or three times a year, meaning that it is unlikely to show any current chart hits. I have the most current chart hits, so even if a song you like doesn't show up when you search for it, it doesn't necessarily mean that I won't have it. If there is a song that you want played please let me know by emailing/calling me to ask whether I have the track in question. Additionally, there is a strange glitch in the database system that strangely prevents some tracks from displaying!

I guarantee that I will play ALL songs in your "Must Play" list.

(I cannot accept responsibility for any tracks in this list that clear the dancefloor!)

If your event over-runs (which is extremely common) then it may not be possible to fit all tracks in the "Must Play" list in.

*If there are styles/genres of music you particularly dislike then just choose one track from that style/genre and then in the comments section, state that you do not want any tracks of that genre played.
