Melbourne Is Always Tops When It Comes To DJs

Posted by Melbourne DJ Hire on March 17th, 2021

Australia is known for its brilliant DJs and some of the top DJs in Melbourne City have won global awards for their skill and expertise. Being a good DJ is more than just getting into music. It’s about understanding all genres of music, playing a variety of music, having the right equipment and knowing how to use such equipment, reading a crowd, being able to chat to a crowd, and changing the tempo of a party or event.

The genres of music

A good DJ knows his music, be it rock, soul, pop, disco, electronic, hip hop, gospel and more. Top DJs in Melbourne might have their favourite kinds of music, but the people at events will never know that! A good DJ plays the music that a crowd of people will like, which is why it is so important to be able to switch up the music.

A DJ might be hired to play disco music at say, a hippie dress up music event, but if the crowd isn’t enjoying the disco music, he needs to be able to change the music, seamlessly, getting the crowd dancing and having fun. This is what we mean when we say a DJ should be able to change the tempo of an event; if things are slow, quiet or dull, he should be able to change it, with his music.

Equipment a DJ needs

A good DJ will have mixers, turntables, speakers, controllers, software, headphones, and all the accessories that come with, as well as an incredible selection of music. Each DJ has different equipment, and a good DJ needs more than just a boom box. The DJs who win competitions each year may not have the best equipment in the world, but they know how to use the equipment they have, effectively and professionally.

Cost of DJ over cost of live music

Having a DJ at your event or having live music at your event, are both incredible. Music makes a party or function successful, giving it a vibe and atmosphere. DJs are definitely trendy right now, with people recognising the skill that it takes to be a DJ. The cost of a DJ is generally lower than live music, but not always! A good DJ can be expensive, but a good DJ is worthy of every penny.

Being a public speaker

Nobody wants a DJ who takes over the party, speaking at every opportunity and making silly jokes. Saying that, a DJ will often need to make an announcement, or introduce a speaker. A DJ should have a good voice and should know how to use his voice and be clear and concise. Being a good DJ take experience and some of the best DJs have played at all kinds of events, over a number of years.

How to choose a DJ

You need to do a little research on which DJ you use. Good DJs will have a website and have an internet presence but you also need to get reviews or references of top DJs Melbourne City from friends or colleagues!
