Welcome back to the Tarry Hall Roller Rink Podcast 🎧

In Episode 9, we’re going inside the DJ booth to break down what really goes into running a great roller skating session.

The DJ isn’t just playing songs—they’re managing energy, pacing the floor, supporting safety, and shaping the entire experience. Whether you’re a skater, rink DJ, floor guard, or rink owner, this episode explains why the booth is one of the most important positions in the building.

🎶 In This Episode We Cover:

Why the DJ booth is a management tool, not just a sound system

How DJs run different session types:

Public sessions

Adult nights

Birthday parties

Specialty skate nights

The evolution of rink music—from organ music to streaming playlists

Sound systems: then vs. now (and why clarity beats volume)

The most important DJ skill nobody teaches: reading the floor

If you’ve ever wondered why a session feels perfect—or completely off—this episode explains why.

🔑 Key Takeaway:

You don’t play what you like—you play what the session needs.
