The best party hits for company parties & events
Are you planning a company party, a summer event or a corporate occasion and wondering which songs are guaranteed to lift the mood and fill the dance floor? This overview gathers proven party hits for every moment of your event – from the relaxed reception to the big finale.
One thing first: the songs below are inspiration, not a fixed playlist. A good DJ reads the crowd live at your event and adapts the selection and the order. More about our musical styles can be found on our music page.
Reception & dinner: discreet background music
During the reception and the meal, the music deliberately stays in the background – warm, calm, conversation-friendly:
- Michael Bublé – Sway
- Norah Jones – Don’t Know Why
- Frank Sinatra – Fly Me to the Moon
- Jamie Cullum – Get Your Way
- Diana Krall – Cry Me a River
- Jack Johnson – Better Together
Warm-up: filling the dance floor gradually
Songs with a noticeable groove that are not yet at full party volume but already bring energy:
- Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk
- Justin Timberlake – Can’t Stop the Feeling
- Bruno Mars – 24K Magic
- Earth, Wind & Fire – September
- Dua Lipa – Levitating

Party hits: classics across the generations
Evergreens that work across every age group:
- ABBA – Dancing Queen
- Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now
- Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance with Somebody
- Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling
- Beyoncé – Crazy in Love
- Rihanna – Don’t Stop the Music
German-language hits
At many company and Christmas parties in Berlin, German-language hits are a firm part of the evening:
- Peter Fox – Haus am See
- Mark Forster – Chöre
- Roland Kaiser – Warum hast du nicht nein gesagt
How large this block turns out depends on your team and your company culture – the DJ adjusts as the evening goes on.
Winding down: a calm finish
Towards the end, songs with a warm but not too slow character work well:
- Bill Withers – Lovely Day
- Ed Sheeran – Perfect
- Otis Redding – (Sittin‘ On) The Dock of the Bay
- Vance Joy – Riptide
Do I have to fix my music requests in advance?
No. Many clients simply give a rough direction and a few no-gos, and the DJ takes care of the rest live. You will find a guide in our article on the event playlist.
Do you play current chart hits alongside the classics?
Yes – current hits are combined with timeless classics as a matter of course.
Is German-language music in demand at company parties?
Very often, especially at Christmas parties and summer events with a mixed team.
Can we have a personal conversation beforehand?
Of course – most easily through our contact form.
Why this list is only the beginning
In practice, Malte and Dennis adapt the selection live: to the age and taste of your guests, the venue, the time of night and the reactions on the dance floor. That feel – paired with over 20 years of experience and a two-DJ backup – is what makes the difference. Which genres are available can be seen on our music page, and what a booking costs is set out on our prices page.
