Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Not Every Show is a Rager
Q: When looking to improve your team, what's been your most successful way to gauge performance to provide feedback when you're not at the event?
We rely on vendor feedback and, perhaps more importantly, client reviews; if a vendor or client signals issues, we address them and use those signals to coach the team and adjust future performances.
How Record Industry Changes Will Affect DJs
Q: Do you charge extra for room flips where you need to move equipment across the room?
We don't bill it as a separate line item; it's included in the overall scope and we may adjust the price modestly if we're doing extra work, but it isn't itemized as a separate charge.
Breaking Down Backup Plans
Q: How do you handle must-play song requests when half the list isn't very danceable?
During the final planning calls, vet the must-play list and suggest integrating some of their top picks into cocktail hour or dinner if they're not danceable, while keeping the core must-play as potential backups. If the playlist tanks during the event, you pull from the diverse options and pivot to keep energy up, and you have the right to pull the plug on problematic tracks if the crowd isn't responding.
Fun Fact: Networking Works
Q: How do you collect accurate feedback to improve your performance after a wedding or gig?
Track and review footage, ask clients for reviews, and analyze the last 30–60 minutes of a set to understand energy flow. Use notes, crates, and Serato/360 footage to identify what worked and what didn't, then adjust edits and mic moments accordingly.
Fun Fact: Networking Works
Q: What networking groups are we a part of and which should DJs consider joining?
We discussed NACE, ILEA, and WIPA as core options within an hour's reach, plus local/alternative groups like Shop Local Raleigh. The key is to join and actively participate, and to seek opportunities at those meetings to meet people who can refer or hire you.
