Think about the best party you’ve ever been to. The night included great friends, good food, and a popping dance floor, right? Chances are, there was a DJ who kept the dance floor going that night.

Without a DJ, the party might have suffered: the tunes might have fallen flat, or they have felt disorganized (too many slow songs in a row is a surefire way to kill a vibe.) Plus a DJ brings life to the party by adding transitions to songs and reading the room to see what the party needs.

If you are debating whether or not to get a DJ for your next big party or event, let us make it simple for you: You need a DJ.

Keep reading to learn more about the importance of DJs, the different types of DJs, and where to find a DJ for hire.

What is a DJ?

So, what is a DJ? First, DJ is short for disc jockey. Second, let’s make it clear what a DJ is and isn’t. A DJ is NOT just someone who plays music at a party. Deejaying is a skill!

Ever notice when you are listening to a playlist and some songs are louder or softer than others? A DJ will be on top of sound levels when playing music so that the volume stays consistent to avoid any awkward quiet or sudden loud moments.

A DJ can also act as an announcer for your party event. This is a bonus if you hate talking over a microphone.

Types of Deejays

There are multiple types of DJs, and they all serve different purposes.

Radio DJs

Radio DJs are the personalities you hear over the radio. While they do play music, they’re more known for their brand and personality over the air.

Club DJs

Club DJs, as the name suggests, play at the club. They are used to playing for crowded dance floors and often specialize in house or hip-hop music.

Mobile DJs

Mobile DJs can play in any type of venue, from weddings to big corporate events. If you are looking to hire a mobile DJ in the NJ or NY area, you’ve come to the right place. Deya Events can supply a DJ for your next event.

Why are Deejays important?

Have you ever been to a party and, while there is music playing, the dance floor is a near ghost town? Chances are, the playlist is less than ideal and there aren’t enough dance-worthy tunes.

This is why hiring a great DJ is important.

A great DJ will be able to read the room and see what music is working and what isn’t. They’ll also be able to mix two tracks together to create a seamless transition between songs so everyone keeps dancing the night away.

You’re probably wondering, "why don’t I just create my own playlist and plug in my phone to the Aux cord?" There are a few problems with this method.

1. You’ll be constantly worried about the music if for some reason a song isn’t a hit.
2. You won’t get that seamless DJ transition
3. You’re already planning a party, so why not let someone else be in charge of the music for the night so you can enjoy it?
