About DJ Play This

DJ Play This helps guests find a DJ's event, request songs, and send shout-outs from their phones. Request lists can be built before and during an event. DJs can view the most-requested songs ranked live while staying in control of what gets played.

"The crowd requests. The DJ decides."

What Each Level Can Do

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join an event?

Scan the event QR code, enter the event code, or open the link shared by the DJ.

Do guests need an account?

No. Guests can browse events, request songs, vote, and rate without logging in. A free account unlocks following DJs and sending shoutouts. Creating events requires a free account too.

Does requesting a song guarantee it will be played?

No. The DJ always decides which songs to play.

How does a DJ create an event?

Log in, select Create Event, enter the event information, and share the QR code, event code or event link.

What is DJ Premium?

Premium unlocks a custom tip link (Venmo, CashApp, and more), social media links on your events, DJ messaging with the crowd, flyer/promo generation, and unlimited events per month. Free DJs still get full event management — Go Live, moderation, playlists, export, and access controls — but are limited to one event per month.

Are tips required?

No. Tips are optional and do not guarantee that a request or shout-out will be selected.

DJ Controls

Everything you need to run your event, manage the crowd, and decide what plays.

Create & Manage Events

From the DJ Dashboard, create an event with a name, date, and time. Each event gets a unique event code, shareable link, and QR code. Set the event to upcoming, live, or ended. Free DJs can create one event per month; Premium DJs get unlimited events.

Event Settings & Access Controls

Fine-tune every event: require an event code or QR/link access, gate by location, limit requests per user, set a cooldown between requests, require DJ approval before a song enters the queue, and choose whether to allow guests. Edit these anytime from the event dashboard.

Live Ranking Dashboard

The Ranking tab sorts requests by vote count in real time. Watch the most-wanted songs rise to the top so you always know what the crowd wants — while you stay in full control of what actually plays.

Approve, Play, Skip, Pin & Block

If approval is on, new requests wait in the Pending tab until you accept them. From the queue you can pin a must-play to the top, mark a song as played, skip it, block a repeat offender, or flag spam. Drag-and-drop lets you reorder the queue your way.

Suggestion Lists & Playlists

Build a DJ Song Suggestion List of pre-approved tracks the crowd can pick from, and create saved playlists from your event songs to reuse at future gigs. To add an entire playlist to an event's suggestion list at once, open the Playlist Manager, select a playlist, and click "Send to DJ Picks" — every song in that playlist is bulk-added to the current event's DJ Song Suggestion List instantly.

Crowd Moderation & Messages (Premium)

Premium DJs get a Messages tab as their shoutout feed — read live messages from the crowd and block or unblock disruptive participants. Blocked users can't request, vote, or message your event. Free DJs can still block participants from the participant list.

Request Notifications

When your event starts receiving requests, you'll get an email heads-up for the first few submissions so you know the crowd is engaging — then it goes quiet so your inbox isn't flooded.

Share & Export

Share your event via QR code, direct link, or code. After the event, export your full request history to CSV and review your event summary for stats on what worked.

Tips, Social & Flyers (Premium)

Premium DJs can add a custom tip link (Venmo, CashApp, and more) and social media links that appear on every event, generate downloadable promotional flyers, and unlock the Messages shoutout tab. Upgrade from the web dashboard to unlock these tools.

Location Gating

Optional: require the crowd to be within a set radius of your venue to join. Great for ticketed events or private parties where you want to keep access local.

Crowd Controls

Find the party, request the tracks, and help shape the setlist — all from your phone.

Find & Join Events

Join a DJ's event three ways: scan their QR code, enter the event code, or tap the shared link. You can also browse and search for public live events right from the home screen — no login required.

Request a Song

Inside an event, search for any track by title or artist, then submit your request in seconds. Some events may limit how many requests you can make or add a short cooldown between them.

Vote & Influence the Ranking

Give a thumbs-up to songs you want to hear and a thumbs-down to ones you don't. The most-upvoted tracks rise to the top of the DJ's live queue — so the crowd decides the vibe together.

Send Shoutouts

Send a shoutout or message to the DJ right from the event. Shoutouts require a free account and appear on Premium DJ events — guests can still request and vote without logging in.

Follow Your Favorite DJs

Create a free account to follow DJs you love. The follow button appears on Premium DJ events. You'll get notified when they go live or post a new event, and your followed DJs appear front and center on your home screen.

Support the DJ

Love the set? Tap the DJ's tip link (if they've added one) to send support. Tips are always optional and never guarantee a request or shoutout gets played — that's still the DJ's call.

Rate the Event

After an event ends, leave a 1–5 star rating and optional feedback. This helps DJs understand what the crowd enjoyed and improve future sets.

Account vs. Guest

Guests can join, request, vote, and rate with no account. A free account unlocks following DJs and sending shoutouts. Creating events is also free — just log in and open the DJ Dashboard.
