How to Run a Killer Theme Night as a DJ or KJ

Theme nights are a powerful way to energize your audience and stand out from other DJs and KJs. Whether it’s an 80s dance party or a 2000s pop karaoke night, giving your event a theme helps guide the crowd’s expectations and gets them excited to participate.
RequestSongs.co makes this easy by allowing you to limit song requests to a specific genre and decade — directly from your online request catalog.

Choose a theme that fits a specific genre or decade. For example:
– 1980s Pop Karaoke
– 90s Rock Night
– 2000s Club Throwback
– Country Night (any decade)
These themes work great with our filter system and help keep the vibe consistent all night long.

Inside your RequestSongs.co dashboard, switch your catalog to the iTunes option. You can then:
– Choose a genre like Pop, Rock, Country, or Hip-Hop
– Limit songs to a specific decade, like the 80s or 2000s
This ensures that only theme-appropriate songs are shown to guests when they search your request page.

Once your filters are set, share your request link with guests. This can be added to your display screen, printed flyers, or a QR code.
For example: https://requestsongs.co/yourdjname — now pre-filtered to only show 90s Rock hits!

With RequestSongs.co, you can also display the current queue and upcoming singers — all in your theme’s style. This keeps the experience fun and focused for everyone attending.
