    Major Lazer – Get Free


     

    Our June playlist is packed full of incredible new tunes. Major Laser – Get Free is already a favourite summer anthem. Chilled out and uplifting – perfect at the end of a long night.

    Next up is new duo from NYC called Foxygen. They take the best of late 60s rock, mash it up and turn it into something fresh. We can’t stop playing Foxygen – Make It Known.

    Melody Gardot’s latest album “The Absence” has been on constant rotation at Audio Sushi Towers. It’s one of our favourite albums of 2012 so far. The Absence is mellow and easy without a hint of cheese. A sublime effort from Ms Gardot. Mira and Amalia are two of the highlights and we’ve included Mira in our June playlist.

    There are brand new releases from The Black Seeds and Public Image Limited and a disco tribute remembering Donna Summer and Robin Gibb.

    Enjoy.

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Advice for Hiring a DJ for Wedding


    Advice for Hiring a DJ for Wedding

    Any DJ for weddings needs to have a large and varied music library and the ability to cover a cross section of wedding music scenarios.  They need to have patience and understanding when it comes to dealing with their clients, the bride and groom.  Weddings can be a stressful for those involved in organising the event.  It is part of a Wedding DJ’s role to keep their clients calm and reassure them all aspects of the wedding music are taken care of.

    Wedding Music Selection

    When selecting the wedding DJ music, the DJ should work with the bride and groom to understand who is attending the wedding reception and particularly focus on age range of the wedding guests.  There is no point playing super cool Ibiza hits when Grandma and Grandpa are expecting Duke Ellington to be swinging.  The aim of the game is to keep most of the guests happy and dancing most of the time.

    Cheesy Wedding Music

    To Cheese or Not to Cheese?

    Okay, we have to admit that as much as we like to be the cool club DJs, in general terms a little cheese from the Wedding DJ works wonders at getting everyone on the dance floor.  It doesn’t have to be the Chicken Dance nor Kool & the Gang just tracks that resonate with your guests.  For older guests some 60s hits (the Kinks, Rolling Stones or Motown) will get things moving.   A London Wedding DJ playing for a bride and groom in their late 30s might focus on 90s and 00s club hits.  At the end of the day, it’s your party and you should choose whatever wedding DJ music makes you happy.  The DJ for your wedding should be flexible yet able to lend a guiding hand when it comes to the wedding music selection.

    5 Top Tips for DJ Hire London

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    Summer is fast approaching which means it’s time to think about DJ hire for your summer party, event launch or wedding.


     

    Summer is fast approaching which means it’s time to think about DJ hire for your summer party, event launch or wedding. Here are some useful points to consider when booking your DJ Agency or freelancer

    Determine the best type of DJ hire for your event

    Will you go through an agent, someone’s mate or hire a celebrity DJ?  A lot of this is determined by your budget.  Usually the “mobile disco” style DJ agency will give you value for money but will not give you the style and glamour of a cool club or celebrity DJ.

    Requestion a consultation

    This can be via telephone or in person.  It’s important that you have a good rapport with the DJ and understand that they will play the right kind of music for your event

    Ask for a sample playlist

    For successful DJ hire with no music misunderstandings, ask your DJ to put together sample playlist ideas for the event. We recommend submitting your own music ideas to give a clear understanding of what type of music you would like. In addition, It’s important for the DJ to unerstand the audience they’re playing for.

    Check their Experience

    Find out whether the DJ has experience for your type of event or party and do they play the type of music your guests want to listen to.

    The Right Equipment

    Is the DJ using a high quality, reliable PA system, decks and mixer to ensure the best possible sound for your party?

    Background Music For Retail

    As any music fan will testify, listening to a particular style or piece of music can alter moods. Whilst music is typically enjoyed for leisure purposes, retail business owners are also aware of how the atmosphere within their stores can influence their customers’ spending habits. Research has shown that the music in retail environments can have a huge impact on the amount of time people spend browsing, and consequently how much money they end up spending. Even students in business schools explore the use of music in increasing customers’ buying behaviour. Music for shops obviously varies depending on the type of establishment and the nature of the clientèle. For example, music shops will usually play the latest popular releases very loudly, whereas bookshops tend to play relaxing music at a lower volume to enable their customers to read and browse books. A retail business owner must have a good understanding of the types of customers who frequent their stores if they are to choose the correct types of music to be played. It should not be underestimated how important a business decision this is. Correctly chosen music for retail stores can result in customers having a pleasurable shopping experience. This will not only encourage them to spend more time in the shop, but will in many cases convince them to become repeat customers. Conversely, if a customer is offended by the music which is being played in a particular shop they will most likely never give that retailer any business.

    Grow your Business

    In this way it can be seen that choosing the right music for shops can help to establish and grow a retail brand. If a shop becomes known for regularly providing an enjoyable ambience it will undoubtedly result in increased footfall. It is then simply a matter of converting those extra potential customers into sales in order to increase profits and grow the business. When music in retail is tailored towards a shop’s brand it can prove to be an extremely successful combination. Some retail business owners may take the decision to have no music playing in their shops at all, however market research suggests that a massive majority of consumers prefer to be in a retail environment where music is being played. It therefore seems logical that in order for a business owner to make a shopping experience as enjoyable as possible for their customers they will play music in retail stores whenever they can.

    Retail Playlists Programmed by Experts

    A decent sound system combined with a large selection of carefully chosen tracks is all that is required to create a professional, enjoyable retail ambience. Music in retail is such an important element of a shop’s success that any business owner should ensure that it is done correctly. Any investment they make in providing the correct music for retail stores will ultimately be repaid in increased revenue.
