How Club DJs manage Song Requests
As a club DJ, your goal is to keep the dance floor packed and the energy high throughout the night. Rekwest helps you create a dynamic, interactive experience while staying in full control of your set. Below is how club DJs from around the world use Rekwest to manage song requests.
The Basics
Setup
Before your gig begins, you create an event in Rekwest with details such as name, start time, duration, and venue information.
Rekwest then generates a unique QR code or link that guests can scan or open to request songs directly from their browser without installing an app or creating an account. You can display the QR code around the club to make it easy for everyone to join in. We offer various QR code poster styles to match the club’s vibe.
You can optionally set rules to restrict requests to a specific repertoire, automatically accept or decline tracks based on pre-defined conditions, or limit the number of requests per guest. These options help you maintain the flow of the night and avoid interruptions in your set.
During the Event
During the event, you see requests and votes appear in real time and decide which tracks to accept or decline. Accepted tracks can be exported automatically to Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or queued directly into your DJ software such as Serato, Rekordbox, VirtualDJ, djay, or Traktor.
When requesting a song, guests can add a tip, increasing their chances of their request being accepted and allowing you to earn extra income during your set.
Post-Event
After the event, Rekwest provides analytics showing which songs were most requested and which led to the highest engagement.
You also have the option to automatically send follow-up emails to attendees, helping promote future club nights or special events.
Endless Possibilities
Rekwest offers many more features. Here are some examples of how Club DJs use Rekwest to enhance their gigs:
- Pre-event requests: Collect requests before the night begins to shape your playlist and anticipate popular tracks.
- Curated playlists: Pre-populate the request list with a selection of tracks to guide guests’ choices and maintain the desired atmosphere.
- Analytics for future planning: See which tracks and genres performed best to plan upcoming events more effectively.
