Pop and Classic Music Mixes: 5 Great Music Mixes for April, 2016

-          From Steve Earley, Blog Contributor


The overall consensus throughout the roller skating industry is that the first quarter of 2016 has been very profitable and many facilities have reported numbers that have not been seen in years. We want to make sure that your rink can continue the climb by supplying the best options for your session programming.

April's FEC Mixes are full of great current pop music intertwined with the classics for all of your guest's enjoyment. We suggest that your Program Manager (DJ) utilize the mixes that do not include overlaid pre-recorded announcements. This is a beneficial tool to allow the employees to focus on their own messages on the microphone while having professional flowing music.

For those sessions that may not have many guests or if your session is lacking a trained DJ, the mixes with announcements give those paying customers the experience they deserve.
Industry entertainment leader Steve Earley programs monthly Megamixes geared to specific sessions for fecMusic SK8 subscribers. You will find the Steve Earley Megamixes in the Infotainment/Megamixes section of your fecMusic SK8 player.
