Party Music & Background Music Ideas Lists
(Some With MP3s)

At Cheshire DJs we understand that not all clients share the same level of enthusiasm for music and artist names as a typical DJ. To assist with this, we have compiled a comprehensive list of the most frequently requested floorfillers for various events. Additionally, we have included brief MP3 samples for the background music section to provide an idea of the ambience that music can create at your event. Should you prefer to allow your guests to make requests on the night, we are happy to accommodate. For further assistance with your music requests, please do not hesitate to contact Jon at 07925 483554 for expert advice.
