Beyond the DJ Booth
The Heater Playlist: Elevating Your Wedding's First Impression
Wedding cocktail hours set the tone for the entire reception, yet finding that perfect musical sweet spot between ambient background and engaging atmosphere remains an elusive challenge for many DJs. In this season opener, Joe Bunn and Brian B reveal their secret weapons: tracks that consistently make guests approach the booth asking, "What is this song?"
The hosts share carefully selected gems ranging from Sylow's smooth R&B cover of "Dilemma" to Jazzy D's reimagined "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" that delivers the perfect groove for guests still transitioning from ceremony mode. These selections strike the delicate balance of being recognizable enough to connect with multiple generations while offering fresh arrangements that elevate the atmosphere beyond predictable standards.
Beyond the music, Joe revisits his controversial take on DJ business sellability, providing valuable context about building sustainable multi-operator models versus remaining a solo performer—particularly critical as DJs reach their 40s and 50s facing increased competition from younger talent. This segment offers a masterclass in long-term business planning that any entrepreneurial DJ should consider.
The episode rounds out with practical recommendations including a game-changing $11 steamer/iron combo perfect for traveling DJs, plus an extensive breakdown of the hosts' favorite music pools and subscription services for staying current with quality edits.

what's up everybody, welcome back to beyond the DJ Booth podcast, with my man, brian B, and your boy, joe Bunn, brought to you by, brought to you by DJ Event Planner, dj Event Planner, dj Event Planner. And we got a new sponsor. Did you know this was episode one of season three? I did not know that. A new sponsor. Let's go Estart. Tell me about Estart.
Speaker 2:You ever met my man CP.
Speaker 1:I have not. He's a good dude man. Cp is a good guy. I'll tell you how I've used it. He's got a lot of programs within it. It's a software thing. Okay, a lot of programs are within Estart. The thing that I have used and actually had a great response to it was a corporate event. I did end of last year put up a bunch of QR codes around the room. People could scan it, take pictures and they showed up on the video. Dj booth I had for that particular show Interesting, so it was basically like an interactive live slideshow.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Interactive photo booth. So pictures were popping up on the screen all night of people around at the different parts of the party. Even better, had AI built in. So there was no middle finger, no bad symbols, no whatever.
Speaker 3:Crucial for crucial.
Speaker 1:Shooting your junk in the thing Like Saquon didn't have to sit there and monitor it and approve or disapprove photos all night. Like it actually pushed through pretty much everything, but the AI basically stopped anything from lewd from coming through.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It also has, like an interactive seating chart. There's a bunch of different features on this program.
Speaker 2:Where do we go to learn more?
Speaker 1:At startcom E-S-S-T-A-R-Tcom.
Speaker 2:We were reviewing our season two metrics and looking at what shows did the best. One of them was our music episode Shocker, shocker.
Speaker 1:Imagine that A DJ podcast talking about music.
Speaker 2:So we thought we'd put together another list. Yes, what's this?
Speaker 1:one on. This one is very similar to the last one. The last one crushed on social for us. We asked you guys to comment the word dinner and you would get the dinner playlist, and this time we are going to do wedding cocktails, okay, and the criteria being, brian, it has to be kind of a song that you play in this cocktail set, right, or it's on that playlist or whatever, and people come up and be like, damn what, that's a great song, or I love this song, or whatever.
Speaker 2:And I want to step further and tried to find tracks that weren't necessarily like remixes that you would have to find on a pool.
Speaker 1:I gave.
Speaker 2:I gave two in one. I gave one edit, two straight, two straight aheads got it. So I tried to do ones that you could find on spotify, right, everywhere else, right, and we are going to create a spotify playlist. What is the word? Don't use one that you've already used in the past we had right issue.
Speaker 1:We did have that issue. How about heater?
Speaker 2:h-e-a-t-eater.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then we would love a review too.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We're in season three.
Speaker 2:Like we need more reviews. We do.
Speaker 1:We haven't had one in a while On wherever you listen to the podcast, leave us a review. There we go, or the website beyondthedjboothcom.
Speaker 2:So we came up with three a piece. Yes, we did. I got one. I'll go with the first one here. This track, closing my eyes, is an R&B classic Sensual, sexual. No, no, it's kind of current, Kind of current. But I like it because it doesn't have the rap in it. Did you cut it or somebody else cut it. No, somebody else put it together. This is by Sylow, my guy S-Y-L-O-W. It sounds so close to kelly roland. This is dilemma.
Speaker 1:The nelly track okay with kelly roland.
Speaker 2:Oh, you went covers, I just covers no, no, no, they're not, but this one is pretty good I'm hungry, sorry, my stomach's growling. I played a little bit of the intro so you can hear the intro. Oh, people singing, people singing While they're listening to Cocktail.
Speaker 3:This is fire Cocktail, it's not supposed to be Jamming, jamming. It's a groove, I'll let it come back.
Speaker 1:So you can see how it comes back. No rap, just cocktails. Sipping a little martini it's got that modern vibe right, but you don't know who the singer is. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's silo. Edit, this is silo if you look it up on spotify this fire, all right yeah, I love bro Hit me with one of yours.
Speaker 1:You know, for me, I love old, I love old songs, I love old soul, I love funk. You know I was born in 71.
Speaker 3:Damn I always think about that, kevin Hart video.
Speaker 1:He was going to be interviewing Don Cheadle.
Speaker 2:He was so close to being my wild card for my last episode.
Speaker 1:I was like you know I went on like a week ago here he was at the at Deepak. Yes, that's right, he killed, he slayed. Opener was good too. I can't remember his name. Anyway, let's go with the Redbone one. I love the way the drums come in and people just kind of know this song and you can kind of see them singing along, even though they probably couldn't name the song.
Speaker 2:Okay, that beat's iconic yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's in a bunch of movies. I love this. Yeah, I think it's in Guardians of the Galaxy maybe, okay, you know. So it kind of transcends, like. So like my parents listened to that song when I was growing up and then I think it was brought back in the movies and things like that. But I just love the way it starts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh no, that's great. That's like an ace. It'll never not work. Work right.
Speaker 1:there's not one crowd just that mood set doors open or you know, cocktail hour starts and people have heard a bunch of shitty classical or whatever during the ceremony. They're ready for something else. Right like that could be your song, one of the cocktail. I love it and it just works.
Speaker 2:Go ahead what you got, I'm thinking, similar first song, maybe out of the gate for cocktail. You just come from this like super serious ceremony. You don't want to just hit them with some fire, right?
Speaker 1:out of the gate. Too much for grandma. Kind of like groove it in.
Speaker 2:So for grandma specifically, this is a Barry Gibb cover. Oh shit, oh cover, cover. Okay, this is, I just want to be your Everything, wow. But the beat almost has like a. I'm starting it from the beginning of the song so you can kind of see how it has.
Speaker 1:This is Spotify available. Spotify available, wow, okay.
Speaker 2:By Jazzy D, the Groovemaster and the Groovemaster. Band I did make a custom edit, so you can kind of I didn't want to wait the whole verse to- get to the chorus yeah, again, light, light, blue, luffy. People are coming into the cocktail A little vocal. Oh, that's sexy Grandma's just loving it. She's like this DJ's pretty solid.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, you know what I mean. She's not disgusting, yeah.
Speaker 2:I love this. Wait till we get to the chorus here in just a second.
Speaker 1:Oh, you cut right to it.
Speaker 2:Good groove 105,. Go anywhere with it. You know what I mean. Very new disco-y, but they slowed it down a little more than the original I don't hear the Barry Gibb vocal slowed it down a little more than the original. I don't hear the Barry Gibb vocal.
Speaker 3:I just want to be a.
Speaker 1:I don't know, that's how he was bro, that's how he sang. I mean, that's pretty spot on that is pretty spot on. Dude when. Timberlake and Fallon would do that, oh, that was the best. When they would do that Barry Gib give or whatever they called it, the barry gibbs show.
Speaker 2:Did you see snl 50? Yeah, that was a great show. Oh, it was so good, there was two.
Speaker 1:There was a documentary that questlove did about just the music okay I don't know if you saw that. No, I did not. That was even better. Okay, I'll watch it. And then I watched most of the snl 50. Yeah, you watched oscars the other night. I did a little bit, little bit. I started watching it, man, then I would get on my phone during commercials and the clips were already there. So I'm like, why am I going?
Speaker 3:to sit here for four.
Speaker 2:It's a four-hour show. Oh, I know when I can just watch the clips tomorrow morning when I get up.
Speaker 1:All right, what's your?
Speaker 2:next one.
Speaker 1:Normally Adele songs are super depressing to me, but I love this song, old song Send my Love. I think I cut it pretty much close to the chorus. Here you got that acoustic kind of vibe. I think I cut up this is a good one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I think it trended on TikTok or something recently. So I feel like again transcends like several different decades of people.
Speaker 2:No, that's a good one. I haven't played that one regularly. Yeah, yeah, I think you could add that one back.
Speaker 1:I love both of yours so far. Those are fire, all right.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give you another fire one.
Speaker 1:Okay, go ahead. This is another cover. Hold on a second real quick, since these are not, these are on Spotify. You can grab them, no, no, no. That's what I'm asking, though, since these are not in a pool necessarily how are you Yesterday? As you get older, your brain less wants to find and hear new music.
Speaker 3:Right on the internet.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:I do too, but I mean I can see how that's true. I think it's also because of the profession we're in, maybe. Well, that's true. I wonder if, just like a civilian, really gives a shit or goes into that new music weekly playlist.
Speaker 3:I kind of have a theory on that. Okay, like as you get older, you want to listen to the that makes you feel younger.
Speaker 1:Stay listening to stuff that you know I'm saying yeah, I do young like your, your best moments like yeah, say, one coming through with the gold. To be fair, I didn't read the whole article, so that could be truth okay, you know what I mean, like that could be part of it.
Speaker 2:Right, I wanted to come up with songs where, yeah, people come up to you and go sure, what is that?
Speaker 1:yeah, I need this version, I need this version, so, so this is Amy Winehouse's Valerie right.
Speaker 2:It's a masterpiece. It's one of the few. It's an actual masterpiece Right, and I don't like it when people mess with it.
Speaker 2:But there were two versions that Mark Ronson did. Okay, you know that I did not know this. This is definitely not that. So let me set this up this up. This is a moomiton. This is not moomiton. Okay, I know you played that at the, I do, but I also play the regular right. This is kind of a latin vibe which I wouldn't recommend. Normally comes across fantastic for a summer cocktail hour. This is by a band called etuana is the name of it.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna be real skeptical on this. All right, this better be good, because I don't like to fuck with amy I don't need the records here we go.
Speaker 2:All right, yeah, put the volume up a bit more on that one okay you don't even know what it is right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Again cocktail Light groove.
Speaker 1:Maybe like a light pool area.
Speaker 2:A little sangria.
Speaker 3:Okay, I do like it A little bit Cut off.
Speaker 1:I do like it.
Speaker 3:Let me roll for a second Cut off.
Speaker 2:Enough of an homage to her, but not. But you can tell it's her. It gets grooving a little bit, but you think that's Amy's? Vocal. Oh no, it's definitely not. No, that's. I didn't need it.
Speaker 1:I don't think if, but I like the way she's singing it, like Amy sang with that, like smoky, barely open your mouth, kind of record.
Speaker 2:That is the Spanish flow mix.
Speaker 1:I don't like to mess with that song much. I don't either, and especially to change out Amy's crazy work.
Speaker 2:but I'm going to allow it and that one, you don't know, it's coming until the vocal hits You're like wait a minute. What is this song?
Speaker 1:This young girl ran up to us the other night when we were playing cocktails at that gala that we did in Hickory for the art museum, with the painting revealing, or whatever. I'm going Hozier, jackie and Wilson. You know that song.
Speaker 3:She's gonna save me, call me baby from her head to my head. She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, but yet she wouldn't care. I love that track. Yeah, really good, yeah, great song. So I got a bonus.
Speaker 2:Okay you ready. Yeah, this is one you're probably not going to know what it track. Yeah, really good. Yeah, great song. So I got a bonus. Okay you ready. Yeah, this is one you're probably not going to know what it is. Okay, it's a song called M-O-A-R. Some war jive. It's kind of got like a throwback to like yesteryear, like the you know big horns kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, that far back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's by the Grammatic. It's all pretty much instrumental. There is a slight little vocal sample in there, but it's a new song that sounds old. Yeah, hit it. Oh yeah, and it kind of stays in this groove. Just a small little vocal sample.
Speaker 1:But I just feel like for the right crowd. This is how do you remember when the Great Gatsby came out, this was how that whole soundtrack was. It was called like a yeah, that's kind of what this is, I think, totally.
Speaker 3:It's got more movement than just that.
Speaker 2:But for the most part. That's it I just thought it was an interesting one that if you came across that I would be like I'm jamming to it. I don't know what this is, but I like it enough where it would kind of make sense, do you know?
Speaker 1:what's crazy, man, I've been doing this so long that and all the people have died now, right, I mean, it's justing the Mood.
Speaker 2:Totally.
Speaker 1:Because there were still people that were in their 80s then that grew up on that music. Yeah, they've all passed now, and so you hardly ever get a request for a song like that Totally, or they would be damn near 100 years old. You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean yeah.
Speaker 1:This would be super. It just kind the word on the Instagram heater and we're going to send you the heater cocktail list. We're going to add some more songs, a bunch more, right, yeah, okay, probably 10 apiece 10 apiece.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, I think so. Okay, brian B here, yes, interrupting yet another stellar podcast episode, but don't worry, this is a value add, not just me rambling. Have you enjoyed the music finds I share on here? You know the ones that Joe pretends he discovered first. Well, if you didn't know, I've got a Patreon where you can grab not only song lists but also exclusive edits of mine, yep, custom tracks. That'll set you apart from every DJ still rinsing the same tired wedding set. Want fresh music suggestions every month? Go to patreoncom. Forward slash DJ Brian B official. Again, that's patreoncom forward. Slash DJ Brian B official. You'll be the DJ.
Speaker 2:Everyone's trying to figure out how you keep your sets so fire and planners will start nudging their couples your way, and if that's not a hard enough sell, I don't know what is all right. Back to the episode before Joe tries to convince us that sweet Caroline is actually a banger. So callback time to season two, where we had another episode that trended really big on the comment section. This was when Richie Stedman asked about selling the business, buying the business, boy. You got some love and some hate, so I just wanted to give you the opportunity to maybe go a little deeper into your theories on buying and selling, because clip you know you only get so much of a perspective when you throw out a clip. So, people, if they weren't listening to the whole thing, Please listen to the whole.
Speaker 2:Thing.
Speaker 1:Yes, Don't just watch the clips.
Speaker 3:We're like we got a 25, 30 minute episode.
Speaker 1:If you're just going to watch the clips, you're not going to get the gist of what we're talking about.
Speaker 2:So did you have any?
Speaker 1:second thoughts thoughts after two things. One, I read through the comments, and I always read all the comments. You always read all the comments. I responded to some of the comments. It's tough too, because I did kind of second guess myself.
Speaker 1:Maybe it is sellable. Then I started talking to Ashley. You know, my girlfriend that's not even a question tons smarter than me, right? And she was like I think you're wrong, like I really do think it is sellable without you because of what you've built it to. You don't even have to go out and play anymore. Now, yes, it has the name Bun in the name, but at the end of the day, so do those other five offices that you have across the country and you're not there. You don't play for those companies. They don't even know who you are.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean and they're successful I mean, I don't know, I think, the way you looked at it, yes, there's one thing that was missing, which is hard to quantify the value, and that is goodwill of name. Right, like you're so dialed into raleigh and to the other offices probably too, but specifically here, how do you put a number on that? Like it's hard to say, like what that's going to be valued at. And that's where these things get tricky, because one person's going to say one thing, someone's going to say something other.
Speaker 1:It's a guess it's all about what somebody's going to pay for it. I still stand by. There aren't really any assets here I don't own this building right, I own some gear, but that stuff's a little bit more quantifiable, because it's actually an asset.
Speaker 2:Goodwill of someone's name is that's tough to put a valuation on. What you can say is you've been here for what? 20 years plus? Yeah, so like there's not many companies that can say that In any field food, hospitality, wedding planner, widget maker.
Speaker 1:I mean, there's not a lot of people have been around for 25 years and be relevant.
Speaker 2:I think it's the other big piece too, so like that, should carry some weight in the evaluation that's not tied to a specific tangible item.
Speaker 1:The other thing that's difficult to quantify is every year is a different set of clients. It's not like I have contracts with Toyota of Raleigh and they do 20 shows a year. Lenovo, ibm, sas, red Hat the one I played at the convention center the other night, pindo like they make software or whatever I did a huge event for them. I don't have contracts with them. All those corporate gigs come and go. Every set of wedding clients is different. I don't know if we're going to do 450 weddings this year or 14. Right, you know what I mean. Like that's why it's difficult to put a number on it and it's only people say there's an ask for every seat, there's only a value to what somebody is going to pay for it, and then is that enough to sell it, to walk away from it.
Speaker 2:Well, I was just going to go there. I was thinking too. I think the bigger point you were trying to make is that you don't have to think of it as having a specific end date, Like you can still run the company passively, so that you don't have to feel like you have to sell that to me.
Speaker 1:I think people miss. That Is why I am so passionate about the multi-hop model, like why I want these people that are out there. You know grinding and yeah, maybe they only do 40 shows a year. Maybe they do get $5,000 a show and that's totally viable and great if you're 30, maybe even in your 40s, but when you start to hit your 50s, man and you're having to you know there's more competition and more.
Speaker 1:you know people in your area and more people that are younger than you and better DJ than you and you know shoot better content than you. I mean it's going to get scary. And then what are you going to do? You're not really going to be hireable in your 50s. If you've been doing this for 20 years as a DJ, who's going to hire you? You spent the last 20 years of your life doing this and you could have been spending the last 20 years of your life building this company scaling Dude. I mean at the end of the day, day one, I was just telling Saquon day one you're going to have problems.
Speaker 3:I just fired a guy.
Speaker 1:He's been here for four years. He had to go and he's trying to clap back at me and this, that and the other. And I'm just you don't have the dedication or the loyalty to be here. You got to go, man. You know what I mean Giving me problems, giving Randy problems. So are there going to be? You know, people that come and people that go and people that help you build and people that try and tear you down Thousand percent.
Speaker 1:But I know that today I could even all the 40 shows I have this year. I could replace every single one of them today with somebody else in my company and feel completely comfortable and never play another show. And this could be my living until I die. Do I still need to fill the pipeline? Go out and recruit DJs, get new DJs, replace some of these guys or the guys that have been here 20 years and only want to do one show a month. A hundred percent. That's still going to be part of it, but I don't have to go out and play ever again and I can still make a really good living from this.
Speaker 1:That's what I want for people to realize. There it is. It's not even a rebuttal, it's just an addendum. Addendum DJs real talk. Are you tired of trying to figure out the DJ business alone, struggling with pricing, bookings or just how to stand out? That's exactly why I built the DJ's Vault.

Speaker 2:So this was actually a wife ask and I usually use a steamer. I'm partial to a steamer for my clothing. Pretty cool Okay, but I was like dude.
Speaker 1:you need to quantify this. This is getting a steamer.
Speaker 2:There was some weird she's about irons and I'm like I can't pack a freaking iron bag Right you cannot, till I came across the mini steamer slash iron combo. Look at this little ditty here. I'm gonna pull off this little topper here.
Speaker 1:This actually keeps the no way this works it does.
Speaker 2:You're telling me this works. Comes with the little measuring cup to put in the water, which is at the very bottom there you can rotate that thing around on the top, just move it. Oh, okay, so you can put the water in there on the front. Now, yep, this comes out, amazon find, but it's so small and it works incredible. I've actually used it like are you?
Speaker 1:are you saying you put the clothes on the like a bed or a table? You can do it that way. You can do it that way? Are you hanging it on a hanger and you're going?
Speaker 2:like that's the, that's the clutch move it's this it's the double. So what do you think price point on something like this would be?
Speaker 1:29.98 11 11.7.
Speaker 2:You can't go wrong. You really can't, but I feel like it just to have in your bag. Yeah, if you're local, you don't have to be traveling but like just you have a need for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, your, your dress shirt gets all jacked up in the van on the way or whatever? Did it have a little, a little satchel or a little case?
Speaker 2:It doesn't the only case that it comes with is this little protector on the front. Which kind of sucks. I wish it did have a little satchel. Yeah, I love a satchel Cause, especially for this little yeah you need a little satchel. But I thought it was a cool little find for $11. You can't go wrong, so we'll put the link in the YouTube video. It'll be at the bottom.
Speaker 1:That's right. When you go to the YouTube video you'll see like Brian's Amazon store, joe's Amazon store. Most of these things are in Brian's store.
Speaker 2:So we've been talking music for a little bit, but the last thing we have on this list is the question which is also music related, and this was coming to us from Billy Rears, our boy.
Speaker 1:Billy.
Speaker 2:Rears In Derry, New Hampshire, Derry, New Hampshire. He asked on the YouTube what music pools are your favorites best?
Speaker 1:Right, I remember this. I made a list because I'm on a lot of them, You're yeah. Brian showed me his list. I said, bro, how do you feed your family? My man is deep in the pools. You feed your family, my man is deep in the pools.
Speaker 2:So you want to be fair.
Speaker 1:I've got some partnerships I just want to clarify that, before I say I'm subscribed to all these, I don't want to say you don't feed your family, they're well fed this is a laundry list.
Speaker 2:We don't have the time to go through all of them, but I'll just hit on a couple of the biggies, obviously, direct music service is probably the most broad as far as styles that you can find. Catalog depth, I feel like, is super solid with great music service, so that'd be my number one, would you say? Our favorite editors live there, yeah.
Speaker 1:I would do, and they're just the nicest people, yeah. Like shout out Warren, shout out Kevin Scott, all those guys, yeah, appreciate you, I mean huge supporter.
Speaker 2:They're awesome Sim, they're awesome simo and they're real djs icon like they're actually working. They're not just sitting in their throwback, you know studios just making stuff, no longer working shows. Yeah, so they're great the other couple ones I just wanted to hit on real quick were uh heavy hits. I feel like they are solid for, especially if, like you're doing, a lot of ethnic events or needing a broader international sure music listing sponsored your last podcast.
Speaker 1:They did.
Speaker 2:Sponsored your last con trying to work on a new deal here, so shout out isaac. And then last one I'll mention is uh x mix digital. I feel like this is like a underground one, because it's kind of x mix I mean they've been crapped on for so long because they do too many produced urban mixes and stuff like that where they got the intros just too much but they have actual pool which people don know about, and they get a lot of these mixes that are actually album released.
Speaker 2:And the other reason why I like X-Mix is because they don't have the Sony issue that so many of the other pools do. So you can go on there, get all of the new tracks that are not easy to find on other pools.
Speaker 1:So these are the pools, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the other one I wanted to hit was the Patreons, which is again for the new, by the way.
Speaker 1:But can we just time out before you even go into the Patreon? We don't want to hear like in the comments. Like are really any chatter? These aren't our companies, Right? These are people we're downloading from. So if you have a problem with them and their legality, take it up with them, Right? We don't want to hear about it. Thank you so much. You keep going.
Speaker 2:My boy and all of those are just ones that we put on this list so that you could go look at at another time. Right, see if they work for you. Right, a lot of them have trials, different things. Even steve is just crushing the game right now he is putting out so much content it's crazy nick bike also very ridiculous.
