  2. DJing at silent discos can be a quite daunting experience, as these kind of events are relatively new. Whether you’re an experienced DJ, or just starting out, everyone could use some guidance when being the main performer on a night like these.  We’ve formulated a list of useful tips that can help everyone at any Silent Disco DJing experience level get the best reactions from the crowd’s they’re performing to.

  3. 1. Know how a silent disco works • if you’ve never DJ’done before, it is probably best that you do some research as to how they work.  • A silent disco is an event where people wear headphones and listen to the music through them • The music played by the DJ is broadcasted through to these headphones via a transmitter, allowing the people wearing the headphones to hear the music.

  4. 2. Take the lead – 9/10 this is most people’s first experience • Silent disco hires are becoming more and more popular as the years go on • When many people are invited to a silent disco party, it’s most likely their first time to experience one! 9 times out of 10, the audience you’re performing to have never been in this kind of environment, • If it’s your first time DJing a silent disco, try not to let nerves take over your set. Play music that you’d normally play if you were DJing a normal event.

  5. 3. Know what kind of event it is • SIlent disco parties are all different, so as a DJ, it’s important to know what kind of party you’re going to. • It’s important to ask the person who hired the silent disco, what kind of event is it and what you should expect. • Whether you need to play a certain genre of music, and whether you need to get your competitive hat on in order to compete with the other DJs!

  6. 4. Keep things interesting • As a silent disco DJ, it’s important to keep the music interesting and fresh. • It’s not a traditional night, so if someone isn’t interested in your music, they’ll simply change the channel to someone else’s, which isn’t great for morale.  • Keeping things interesting gives people more of a reason to stay on your channel, as they’ll be having the time of their lives.

  7. 5. Read the crowd • As a DJ, reading the crowd is probably one of the most important things you can do.  • Look at peoples faces whenever you change songs as this allows you to get a feel of what the crowd are into or not. • The main aim is to get people dancing and singing along, which is their way of saying “I’m having such a great time”. 

  8. 6. Prepare yourself beforehand • As a silent disco DJ, it’s important that you’re ready for all things that may come to you on the night.  • Make sure that you’ve got everything you’d need to do your job on the night.  • Know what songs you’ll play and in what order. Having an idea of this will help you prepare for any unwanted surprises on the night.

  9. 7. Play popular songs people know • When DJing, you’ve got to make sure that a majority of the music you’re playing is music that people know and enjoy. • If you’re a beginner, have a look at the top 40 to get an idea of what the newest, most popular tracks are.  • You could also have a browse through music apps like Spotify and Apple music, which are great places you can use to find great mixes and music that flow well together.

  10. 8. Crowd interaction is key • As a DJ, interacting with the crowd is sometimes a very welcome thing. • It adds character to your set, and it helps the crowd get a feel for what kind of person you are. • You could use to your advantage by asking the crowd what songs they want to hear, allowing the night to have a bit more of a personal feel to the people involved.

  11. 9. Identify your audience • Silent discos are hired for many different events, for many different audiences. • If you’re performing for young children, the music you play has to be family friendly. • If you’re performing for a group of young adults, you’ve got to make sure that you play current and trending music. 

  12. 10. Play appropriately for your time slot If you’re performing early on in the night, you’re going to want to play songs that get people up and moving. Sometimes you’ll find that you’ve got a large time slot, it’s important to use your time accordingly. Silent disco hire prices aren’t cheap, so it’s possible you’ll be performing for time slots shorter than you’d traditionally expect.
