How to choose music for a corporate party so that everyone is satisfied
Whatever the scale of the corporate event: both a modest celebration and a big event, it is hard to imagine it without music. Musical accompaniment plays a special role in corporate events, it can make them better or hopelessly spoil them.
Therefore, it is better to get busy with the playlist in advance and create a list of compositions that will be played. It is also important to purchase a license to broadcast music tracks, as this will not result in fines and other sanctions related to copyright infringement.
Many professionals call the Spotify service a good helper in selecting thematic music. It uses its own selection algorithms, which leave far behind even such competitors as Apple Music and Google Play Music.
Background music for a corporate event
Background music for a corporate party should match the spirit of the event and not be too intrusive and loud. It is better to choose songs and tunes for the playlist in advance, at least 1 month before the event.
All background music should be leveled in terms of volume. It should be played in a chaotic order, smoothly flowing from track to track. It is also necessary to take into account the time of the event:
Day. The ideal option is music with pleasant vocals and rhythm, for example, Soulful House, which provides cheerfulness and a positive mood.
Evening. You can choose energetic music in the style of Pop House, which will contribute to the fact that people will communicate casually and actively.
Night. This is the time of romance and glamour, so feel free to choose relaxing Lounge music and instrumental music.
Dance music for a disco at a corporate party
Many corporate events assume the presence of a dance program. It is important that the selected rhythms make you want to dance, are well-recognizable and help people relax. Will everyone like dance music for a corporate event and what nuances should be taken into account so that there are no dissatisfied people? We advise you to focus on:
who is more at the holiday, men or women;
the age of the guests (young people, most likely, will not like the hits of the 1980s and 1990s, while in the representatives of the older generation they evoke nostalgia and positive emotions);
corporate theme.
A win-win option to please representatives of both sexes is to supplement the playlist with romantic compositions by famous artists, as well as soundtracks from well-known musicals, series, and films. These songs are well known and will evoke the most pleasant memories.
If the corporate event is thematic, the disco music should match the general tone of the event. For example, an evening in a romantic style cannot do without songs by Elvis Presley, Sting, Brian Adams, and an oriental party without incendiary hits of the corresponding direction.
Music for contests for corporate parties
Most corporate companies provide for the holding of contests. A successful, well-thought-out competition program will allow you to maintain a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, as you should have fun and have fun. By the way, music competitions are particularly popular:
Remember/continue the song
sing a song
Guess the song/tune
Singing crocodile
The organization of music competitions should be approached with particular responsibility. All melodies should be well-recognizable, lyrics should be simple. It is desirable that the music evokes pleasant emotions in the participants of the contests, helps them relax and enjoy the event. A little advice. If you are holding a competition where participants are expected to sing, discuss this with them in advance, as many people do not have vocal abilities or are shy about performing in front of an audience.
Even if the contests do not involve singing and guessing a popular tune, music is still needed. It will help the participants to concentrate on the task and maintain a fun atmosphere. We also recommend making a playlist in advance.
Music for a New Year’s corporate party
Probably, the New Year is one of the most popular and favorite holidays, so it is advisable to start devoting time to the preparation of a themed corporate event 1-2 months before the event. You should decide on the format of the holiday and imagine what the musical component will be.
Music for a New Year’s corporate party should correspond to the spirit of the holiday, convey its atmosphere. Therefore, we recommend that you pay special attention to the tracks that people associate with the New Year’s fairy tale: they will set the audience in the right mood and help spend an unforgettable evening. Some important recommendations that we advise you to follow:
Do not choose a musical component based on the tastes of one person, even if he knows music very well. It is desirable to take into account the opinion of the team by conducting an oral or written question.
A New Year’s corporate event requires adherence to a certain style, so the songs should fit into it. As a last resort, you can add popular hits of a neutral direction to the playlist.
Be sure to separate all the music into background music and that intended for the disco and contests. Ideally, you should have 3 playlists.
It is equally important that the tunes are played with the help of high-quality equipment managed by a professional, because an employee of the company is unlikely to replace an experienced DJ.
