Your music, programmed.
Your favourites, your must-plays and your no-thank-yous, put in the right order for the night: easy arrivals, then the dancefloor.
Your party.
Its own radio station.
More personal than a phone playlist.
A smaller price tag than an on-site DJ.
We build your own live radio station: your music, radio sweepers that say your names, and greetings from the people you love, all pre-loaded and playing between songs. You get one private link: plug a phone into your speakers and press play.

BRING YOUR LOVED ONES INTO THE SOUNDTRACK
Their voices. A moment to remember.
Invite family and friends, near or far, to record a short greeting on their phone—a quick birthday wish, a little advice or a cheeky one-liner. We’ll weave those familiar voices between songs.
Included in Big Night. Add to Party for $99, however many greetings you collect. They play in their own voices, rotating between songs all night.

Playlist, party radio or DJ?
A phone playlist gives you control. An on-site DJ brings live mixing and someone reading the room. V1 Party Radio sits in between: the personal touches, prepared for you, without the DJ price.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before the first song.
Is it live? Is someone coming to our party?
It’s a live radio stream made just for your party, but nobody comes to your venue and nobody is on a microphone. Your songs, sweepers and greetings are pre-loaded and approved before the night, then your station plays them live, one after another, just like real radio.
Can you build the station around our music?
Yes. Share a Spotify playlist, pick styles, list must-plays and songs to avoid, or hand-pick every song. We source every track, check it for explicit lyrics, and play it in your order or shuffled by style.
What are radio sweepers?
The short, punchy voice clips you hear between songs on the radio, made for you: “Welcome to Sarah’s 40th”, “Got a song Sarah needs to hear? Send in your request.” We help with the wording and tone, produce them with sound effects in your chosen voice, and they rotate between songs all night.
What do we need on the night?
A phone, tablet or laptop plugged into its charger, speakers that suit your space, and reliable Wi-Fi or mobile data. Before the party, open your sound-check link to make sure everything works. At your start time, press play and you’re live.
What if we pause, or the internet drops?
Your station is live, so it keeps playing even if you pause. When you press play again, you rejoin live. For speeches, just turn the volume down. If your internet drops, press play once it’s back. If our stream ever has a problem, switch to your own music app straight away, let us know, and we’ll make it right.
How do guest song requests work?
Guests scan your QR code and pick a song from your station’s playlist, no app needed. Requests play straight after the current song, or are held for a set time, like every 10 minutes. Prefer no requests? We switch them off.
