You can share your favorite songs and have a legendary dance floor—without running the DJ booth from your phone. The trick is to give clear, compact guidance and leave room to read the room.
Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon! :-)
Tonight, add your Must‑Plays (up to 20), a tiny Do‑Not‑Play (≤5), and a vibe board (3 quick examples) in your Online Music Planner. I pull everything from the Planner so we’re always working from one source—no email, DMs, or external playlists.
Why this works: you set the destination; I choose the turns that keep the floor packed. The right song at the wrong time falls flat—flexibility wins the room. Intentional programming = bigger reactions, better frames, happier video.
If you’ve seen “please just play our Spotify” go sideways, you already know: order matters. Use the list below to give me your taste and guardrails—then trust me to place those songs at the right moments for the biggest cheers.
The List
- Must‑Plays (up to 20) (artist — title) — 20 or fewer keeps flexibility; I’ll weave them where they’ll hit.
- 3 “Yes Please” Vibes — e.g., throwback R&B, Y2K pop, clean country sing‑alongs. (Links welcome.)
- 3 “Not Our Night” Vibes — gentle guardrails (e.g., EDM drops, explicit rap, campy line dances).
- Do‑Not‑Play (max 5 titles) — Real deal‑breakers only. I’ll block close cousins too.
- Dedication Moments — Who and when (e.g., “Grandma loves Motown—play one during cake.”).
- Cultural Essentials (clean edits) — If a song is sacred to your crew, flag it—I’ll handle edits and timing.
- Time Windows — “Open dance starts ~8:15; last big sing‑along before 10:30 hard stop.”
- One Surprise Slot — Green‑light a safely‑spicy pick if the floor skews younger/older than expected.
- Energy Curve Preference — Up‑up‑up, or waves with breathers? I’ll pace blocks accordingly.
- Day‑Of Huddle (2 minutes) — We confirm pronunciations, must‑plays, and one veto signal pre‑doors.
