Rio Crazy! - Very Mobile DJ Service


Rio Crazy! Frequesntly Asked Questions



Here are answers to some of Rio Crazy!'s more frequently asked questions.


Also here is some questions that you should be asking the DJ you are looking to hire...



Do you play requests?
Absolutely. Your DJ will be happy to take requests from you and your guests. Before your special event, we will meet with you to get to know your music tastes and will ask about your requests. And there may be music you don't want to hear. We honour those requests too. Your DJ is experienced at "reading the crowd" and he'll use that experience to enhance the atmosphere of your party.




Do you play a wide variety of music?
We make sure to bring a wide variety of music so that people get to dance to the music they enjoy. The music we play depends on the people at the party and the requests made. Our music variety includes Top 40, Disco, Rock, hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, Hip-Hop, Swing and Soul. We have an outstanding selection of Latin music. We also have softer music to play during cocktails and dinner.




What is an interactive DJ?
When you opt to have an interactive DJ, it means that Rio Crazy! will get involved with the crowd to get the party going. For example, we will teach some fun and funky line dances to your guests or can liven up the party by involving your guests with props such as inflatable guitars, maracas, Village people hats, glow in the dark necklaces/glasses and more. Having an interactive DJ is entertaining both to the spectators and to the people participating. Remember, we are only interactive if you want us to be. This is an optional service.




Do I have to worry about the music being deafeningly loud?
We aim to keep our volume right for what is happening at that moment. We always ask our client, at the beginning of the party, to let the DJ know if the volume needs to be adjusted.




Will my DJ be talking all night over the microphone?
Rio Crazy's DJs will not bother you or your guests with endless ramblings.




Do you have references?
Yes. On request, we will provide you with a list of previous clients who have indicated their willingness to share their Rio Crazy! experience with you. You can also visit our Reviews section to view a collection of client testimonials.




Will I be able to talk with my DJ ahead of time?
Yes, of course.




Do your DJs drink while working?
Our staff will not smoke or drink at your special event.




What happens if my DJ is sick on the day of our event and all your other DJs are booked?
Although we've never had to call on them, we have an excellent network of trusted DJs to call on in case of illness.




Do you only play Latin music?
When people hear our name - Rio Crazy! - they sometimes assume that we specialize only in Latin music. Not so. Our music collection is extensive and we play a wide variety of music. Depending on the client and the guests, Rio Crazy! may not play any Latin music at a special event. We read the crowd, then play what moves the crowd. Music is always selected accordingly. That being said, if you would like a DJ who can mix Latin and English music and inject a Latin flavour to your event, then Rio Crazy! is the natural choice. Our Latin music includes salsa, merengue, cumbia, chachacha, techno merengue, Latin pop, and quebralitas.
