Mixes and intro reels are the closest you'll get to hearing a DJ before you book them. Both are free to access without an account.

## Playing a mix

On a DJ's profile, open the **Mixes** tab. Each mix is a tile with a play button. Select one and it starts — the player stays at the bottom of the screen as you keep browsing, so you can read their reviews while it plays.

**View All Mixes** opens the full list if they've got more than the grid shows. Each mix has an info icon for its title and genres, and a share action if you're choosing with someone else.

## The intro reel

A short video in the **About** tab. Not every DJ has one.

Mixes tell you what they play. The reel tells you how they work a room — the energy they bring, how they read a crowd, whether they're on the mic. For a wedding or a corporate event, where the DJ is visible all night, that's often the more useful of the two.

## What to listen for

**Transitions.** Does one track flow into the next, or does the room stop between songs? This is the single clearest technical signal.

**Range.** A wedding runs from background music through to a packed floor. A mix that's one energy throughout doesn't tell you they can handle the shape of your night.

**Whether it matches your crowd.** A technically excellent mix in a genre your guests don't know isn't right for your event.

**Their mic work**, if there's any in the reel. Matters a lot for weddings and corporate events, not at all for a club night.

## Comparing DJs

Listen to the same section of each — five minutes in, then jump to twenty. The opening of a mix is where the most care goes.

Also worth asking: is the mix representative? A DJ whose only mix is a peak-time club set may still be great at your garden party, but you'd want to ask.

## If there are no mixes

Some DJs haven't uploaded any, or have hidden the section. It isn't a red flag on its own — but it's a reasonable first message. **Message** on their profile lets you ask before sending a full booking request.

## Their posts help too

The **Posts** tab shows recent events with photos and video. Less polished than a mix, and often more honest about the rooms they actually work.
