Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of Rio Crazy’s more frequently asked questions.
If you require further information, or have comments and/or suggestions, please email Raul Cruz at: raul@riocrazy-dj.com or call us at 604-722-6327.
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.
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? Your DJ 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? Your DJ will not smoke or drink at your special event.
If your DJ is sick on the day of the event and all the 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.
