Own the mic. Read the room. Bring the vibe.
Let’s be real: the energy of a public skate session is only as good as the DJ running it. We’re not looking for someone to push buttons and play top 40. We want a crowd-reading, mic-rocking, beat-dropping entertainer who knows how to keep the floor flowing and the families coming back.
At The Ice Factory, our DJ is more than a music machine — they’re the session host, the voice of the rink, the leader of games, and the heartbeat of every public skate. If you know how to build a mood, shift a vibe, and create that “we’ll be back next weekend” feeling, we want you on the mic.
Curate the soundtrack for every session — blending new hits, classics, and skateable tracks (BPM matters!)
Keep things family-friendly and fun — no inappropriate lyrics, no awkward transitions
Take requests wisely — know when to say yes, when to pivot, and how to mix it into the session flow
Make live announcements that are clear, fun, and engaging — not just “next up: the hokey pokey”
Host games and mini-activities (limbo, dice game, reverse skate, Red Light/Green Light — we’ll train you)
Read the crowd: when to pump them up, when to slow it down, when to clear the ice for safety
Communicate with skate guards and management via radio
Stay alert and jump into emergency mode fast: light the house, clear the ice, manage the moment with calm
Monitor your volume and speaker levels — you’re here to entertain, not blow out eardrums
Keep your DJ booth and area clean, organized, and guest-ready
Support your team: run backup playlists, help with setup, and even take on side tasks like sweeping or helping a guest find their way
Be the kind of personality that makes people look forward to our public sessions
A natural performer — not afraid of a mic, a crowd, or a little attention
Know your music — you understand tempo, energy, family-appropriate lyrics, and how to build a skateable set
Calm under pressure — whether the floor’s full or there’s only 5 skaters, you still bring your A-game
You’ve got solid timing, instinct, and rhythm — this isn’t a random shuffle playlist gig
You’re collaborative — you work with skate guards, party heroes, and management as one crew
You know how to read a room, pivot the mood, and control the vibe without overpowering it
DJ experience is great — but what matters most is your confidence, music sense, and people skills
Familiar with DJ software? Even better. If not, we’ll show you the ropes. No experience required.
Ice time perks + flexible scheduling
Learn to run full-scale events and develop real entertainment skills
Be the person guests talk about long after the music stops
Team culture that supports you, hypes you up, and makes the work fun
A paycheck, plus all the applause (okay, not literally, but close)
❌ You think DJing is just hitting play
❌ You freeze on the mic or dread talking to people
❌ You don’t care what songs fit a skating vibe
❌ You say yes to every song request without thinking
❌ You can’t work weekends or holidays (because that’s when the rink shines)
You are the pulse of the session. If it feels boring, it’s boring. But when you’re on the mic and on the mix, the ice comes alive.
