The customer is king, and this business is no different.
At the end of the day, the patrons are the ones keeping you and the club in business, you need to bear this in mind. Things to keep in mind when club-goers requests a song: Don’t be a dick about it, be as polite as possible. A country song request may not work when you are playing techno tunes.
Just because someone requests a track doesn’t mean you have to play it. Also, it’s a good way to judge what the clientele of the club wants to listen to. A great way to deflect a patrons song request is two thumbs up and a big smile. This gives a positive response to the patron and more than likely they won’t come back.
If /when you are taking requests you are best to bring a pen and pad. This allows you to remain focused on what you are doing and sort the requested track later on. Having this list also gives you something to fall back on if you need it.
Do have fun playing music. Enjoy the energy of the people and they will enjoy you.
