Not everyone can be a a master on the DJ deck and if you don’t have a frat brother with a TIDAL subscription in your back pocket your parties’ music is all on you. But you can still try the secret DJ technique, just put on a playlist. Get a Spotify Premium account, put together a banger selection of music, and set the crossfade to a few seconds for some flair. If everyones drunk enough even the clumsiest transition into “No Hands” will get everyone screaming.
