Let the Crowd Shape the Vibe

Your audience requests any song they want — from the entire music catalog. You stay in control of what drops next. Tips flow, energy builds, everyone wins.

Picture This

It's Saturday night at a rooftop bar. You're behind the decks, your iPerform QR code on the DJ booth and projected on a screen behind you. The dance floor is filling up. People scan your code as they grab drinks and find their spot.

A group near the front searches the entire music catalog from their phones — no pre-set repertoire, just millions of songs at their fingertips. They request a deep cut remix and attach a $10 tip to make sure you see it. Your dashboard lights up with the request. You grin — solid pick. You queue it next.

Throughout the night, requests keep flowing in. Some have tips attached, some don't — you play what fits the energy. A birthday crew drops $25 on a request with a message: "Birthday girl needs this one! 🎂" You grab the mic, shout them out, and drop the track. The crowd goes off. Reactions flood your screen.

Between transitions, you glance at your live dashboard — 54 people connected, a queue of requests sorted by tip amount, and your setlist building itself as you drag songs into position. No more people tugging your headphones to yell requests over the music.

When the lights come up, you've earned $340 in tips on top of your fee, gained 47 new Instagram followers, and the venue owner watched the engagement numbers all night. They want you back every Saturday.

Why iPerform Works for DJs

You control the decks. Your crowd controls the energy. Here's how iPerform bridges the gap.

On-Demand Song Requests

Your audience searches the entire music catalog — not a pre-set list. They find exactly the track they want and send it to you in seconds.

Tipped Requests Rise to the Top

Requests with tips attached get priority in your queue. Audiences learn quickly: want your song played next? Add a tip. Everyone's happy.

Live Queue Building

Drag requests into your setlist, queue songs next or last, and build your set on the fly. Your setlist adapts to the room in real-time.

You Stay in Control

See every request, play what fits the vibe, skip what doesn't. The audience suggests — you decide. No awkward conversations at the booth.

Shoutouts & Celebrations

Birthday dedications, anniversary songs, proposals — fans can attach messages to requests. Give them a moment they'll never forget.

Grow Your Following

Every person who scans your code can follow your socials, tip you again next time, and find your next gig. Build a crowd that follows you venue to venue.

Pro Tips for DJ Success

Display Your QR Code Big

Put your QR code on a screen behind you, on the DJ booth, and at the bar. The bigger and more visible it is, the more people scan. A projected QR code is the ultimate move.

Set Tip-Boosted Requests

When tipped requests rise to the top of your queue, audiences learn the game fast. The first few tipped requests set the tone for the whole night. Let the system do the selling.

Shout Out Tippers

When someone drops a big tip on a request, call it out. "This one's for the crew at table 12 — let's go!" It encourages others to tip and creates moments people remember.

Don't Play Everything

You're still the DJ. If a request doesn't fit the energy, skip it. Your audience respects that you're curating the vibe. The on-demand catalog gives them freedom — you keep the quality.

Use the Setlist for Transitions

Queue up a few songs ahead so you always know what's coming. Drag requests between planned tracks to keep smooth transitions while honoring the crowd.

End Strong, Save Later

When the night ends, iPerform asks if you want to save or discard the setlist. Most DJ sets are one-offs — but if you nailed a set, save it as a template for next time.

One Month In

Word gets around. People come to your nights knowing they can request anything. Tips average $150/night. The venue promotes you as "the DJ who plays your requests."

You're booked every weekend across multiple venues. Your following has grown to hundreds of local fans. Private event inquiries come in weekly. Tips regularly exceed $300/night.

How On-Demand Mode Works

1

Fan Scans Your QR Code

They land on your live event page and see a search bar instead of a pre-set song list. They can search for any song, any artist, any genre.

2

They Submit a Request (With Optional Tip)

They pick a song, optionally add a tip to boost priority, and hit send. The request appears instantly on your live dashboard.

3

You Queue or Play It

See all requests sorted by tip amount. Queue it next, add it to the end of your set, or skip it entirely — you're always in control.

4

The Crowd Sees the Energy

When their song plays, the audience sees it on their screen. Reactions pour in, more people get inspired to request, and the cycle builds all night.
