  Walerstein ensures that Marquee Entertainment stays on top of a number of musical styles - over thirty genres at last count - so that any style or theme of party can be handled with aplomb.From a 1940's night to a hard rock teen party, classical to Cuban, country & western to techno dance music, Walerstein and his staff work hard to stay on top of the trends and keep up to date in every area."It comes down to a lot of research, from the local radio charts to national Billboard music charts, as well as a lot of networking with other DJs," says Walerstein."A lot of DJ's stick to the basics, you're almost waiting for them to play the usual stuff like 'The Macarena' and 'We Are Family' from the outset, but a truly professional DJ knows that a great party isn't just about dancing, it's also about atmosphere and mood.There are a lot more ways to get the audience on the dance floor than just playing the old standards, and by mixing up the current with the classic, the new with the old, and by reading the audience as you go and making small adjustments to our playlist, we can make sure not only that the dance floor is as full as possible, but also that the people not dancing can enjoy listening to the music selection as well."
  
  Does this mean that Marquee DJ's tell the client what sort of music will be playing?Not at all, according to Walerstein.

  We also feel it's important to give, as well as receive, and as a former employee of the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, Marquee owner Mark Walerstein donates his time by entertaining the children at the hospital for the holidays.
