Getting creative with cocktail & dinner playlists

By Jim Weisz I have a confession to make. For the first few years I was a DJ, my go-to for cocktail or dinner music was popping in a Kenny G CD and letting it just play through. I thought I had a taken my programming to the next level when I switched to Kenny G for cocktails and Michael Buble for dinner. How innovative! I cringe looking back on that. For the last 5+ years, possibly my favorite time of the evening to program is cocktail and dinner music. I realized that that pre-dancing music can play a role in the overall success of the event. I’ve come to enjoy finding a playlist for those ..read more

by Tony Fernandez Allow me a slight prologue: If you think you know “all” there is to know about music, programming, creativity, and mixing, you can do yourself a favor and move along. On the other hand, if you would like (at minimum) to gain new perspective, if you’re really trying to seek a way to improve yourself as a DJ, stick with me because we have ground to cover. Let me say off the top, I embrace and encourage the diversity of how different people can take random tracks and orchestrate a fluid musical journey. It is a skill that takes time to hone. It is a skill that few can turn into ..read more

By Frank Smith: “Due to COVID-19 I need to…” We all know what comes next in that dreaded email. One of two words that no event professional wants to hear. “Reschedule.” Or even worse. “CANCEL!” Event professionals all over are hearing from their clients that have events scheduled during their state’s restrictions. Some are even hearing this for events scheduled way after their state restrictions are set to end. Due to their fears. Due to the safety of their guests traveling from out of town. Due to guest count limitations. Regardless of your opinion of COVID-19, these are concerns that we shou ..read more

By: Ben Stowe, CTS The current global COVID-19 (SARS-2-CoV) situation will undoubtedly reshape our world.  As has happened at every reshaping point in history, there will be winners and there will be losers.  Some of the most powerful companies of our time were either formed during these moments, or they survived them.  Whether you will be a winner or a loser will largely depend on your actions. There are several ways you can lose in a situation like this.  Obviously one way is to spend foolishly, but that’s not to say that you shouldn’t spend at all.  One of the other ..read more
