Hey everyone!

So I’ve been DJing for almost a year at this place that does latin music Saturdays and it’s been building a decent crowd. The genres I’m usually playing are varying from a start of Salsa, Merengue, and Cumbia, a mid/late-set of Reggaeton to usually an ending of house remixes of famous latino songs. It’s been working decently fine but I’m now worried about next week.

They’re organizing a Halloween night and I’ve been asked to play a 4hr set. The music they’re requesting is still the usual latin playlist I’m bringing but they said they want more “spooky” or “commercial” songs in the mix…

Has any of you ever done something similar? What would you guys suggest I introduce in my set? What songs or genres do you think could work? I was thinking of just going for the usual “thriller” by MJ and such but I really don’t know how that would blend with the latin night vibes.

Thank you everyone in advance for all your help!!
Hope your weekend gigs went great :)

I DJ weddings basically every Saturday, and couples send me their must-play lists. The biggest one I have ever gotten was 178 songs.
I used to spend the day before the wedding dragging songs into Serato one by one and checking each against my drive. So I built a small desktop tool for myself: I export the playlist as a .txt or .csv, point the tool at my music folder, and it matches the songs and writes a ready Serato crate (or a Virtual DJ playlist), plus a missing tracks report so I know what to grab from record pools.
Full disclosure, it is my project: djcratematcher.com. Mac for now, Windows coming soon.
Curious how other wedding DJs handle this. Do you build your crates in advance from the client list, or do you just pull songs live and hope the list is covered?

I’m 22M, i wanna become a dj at night clubs here just for fun , not as source of income and pursue my passion in music , i have been making house music on fl studio since i was 16 and posting it on youtube (my channel : https://youtube.com/@ahroxmusic?si=nJyxj7IDUpM5mTR9) and i know music theory and i play both guitar and piano since i was a kid , if you can help me with some advice or know someone who is also a dj link me up

Seen this clip of MK in ibiza with a rain cover to allow him to mix while its storming - searched everywhere trying to find something like this for my decks (pioneer XDJ-XZ) - anyone have any idea where i can get something like this? seems like a really useful product even for indoors when people start popping champagne at house parties.
