The office party playlist, elected by the team 🎄

Let the team DJ — you keep the guardrails

Office party music is a diplomatic minefield: marketing wants pop, engineering wants synthwave, someone in finance has strong opinions about jazz — and whoever organizes it takes the blame for all of it.

dj-fy takes the organizer out of the firing line. One QR code on the tables and the whole team queues and votes from their phones; the most-voted song plays next on the company Spotify. The playlist becomes the team's collective choice, not one brave volunteer's taste.

And because it's a workplace, the guardrails matter: playlist-only mode restricts picks to a pre-approved list for the dinner-and-speeches part, and you can open up all of Spotify when the formal program ends. Queue-only mode means nobody can skip the CEO's favourite mid-song.

How it works

01

HR-proof setup

Connect the Spotify account playing at the venue, pick a work-friendly playlist as the source, and set queue-only. Nothing unvetted can play.

02

QR code with the table cards

Colleagues join in their browser with a nickname — no IT ticket, no app rollout, no accounts. It works on every phone in the room.

03

The team votes the night along

Requests and upvotes roll in through dinner; after the official part, loosen the rules and let the dancefloor take over.

💡 Host tips

  • Make a "holiday party" playlist collaboratively in advance, then use it as the party's source — double the buy-in.
  • Nickname bonus: colleagues queueing as "Karen from Accounting" is team-building in itself.
  • Show the party screen on the meeting-room TV — the queue with names is the best conversation starter.
  • Christmas party mode: seed the queue with the office running-joke songs before doors open.

Office & Christmas parties: common questions

Can we keep the music work-appropriate?

Yes — that's what playlist-only mode is for. Guests can only queue songs from a playlist you approved beforehand, so nothing explicit or off-brand can appear. You can relax it to full Spotify search later in the evening with one tap.

Do employees need to install anything?

No. Everyone joins by scanning a QR code in their phone browser and typing a nickname. There's no app, no account, and no personal Spotify needed — nothing for IT to worry about.

How big an office party does it handle?

The $5 Party Pass covers up to 300 guests for 5 days — one pass handles the Christmas party and the New Year's kickoff on the same ticket. Small team gatherings fit in the free plan (10 guests).

Whose Spotify account plays the music?

One host account — typically whoever runs the sound at the venue — with Spotify Premium. The music plays through that account's speakers; colleagues' phones are only remote controls for the queue.
