How it works
A set is not a playlist.It is an order, for one room.
What follows explains the product in three questions, then answers the most common ones. If you would rather start, La Salle is waiting on the homepage.
Who it is for
For whoever was handed the music.
You are not a DJ. You have a date, a room, and 80 people to get dancing without getting it wrong.
A wedding
Two families, often two regions, sometimes two countries. Three generations in one room.
A big birthday
A 40th, a 60th, an 80th. The music has to speak to the guest of honour before it speaks to you.
A family gathering
Cousins from 8 to 80. The genuinely shared repertoire is smaller than people think.
An evening with friends
One generation, but tastes that only half overlap.
It is not made for listening alone on a train. A set only ever serves one room.
Do you host weddings? A partner venue gives the set to every one of its couples, with its own page and its name.
23:00
The real problem
At 23:00, half the room is sitting down.
That is not a problem of taste, it is a problem of demographics. A good set starts with who is in the room.
Today there are 3 options. None of them looks at your guests.
- 01
Do it yourself
6 evenings6 evenings of scrolling, and at the end a playlist that is mostly your own taste, played loud.
- 02
Hire a DJ
€800 to €1,500It works on the night. Out of budget for most people, and there is nothing to listen to beforehand.
- 03
Ask for a ready-made list
freeThe same 12 English-language tracks, with no idea who will be in the room.
1. La Salle — the room
We ask what actually decides whether a dance floor fills.
Not your mood, not your favourite artist. Where your guests come from, how old they are, what the occasion is.
From there we work on the room’s shared repertoire, not on your own library. It is the one question no music app asks.
The occasion
Wedding, 40th, 60th, family gathering. Each one has its own Déroulé.
Where they come from
Your guests’ countries and regions. Half the room is from Marseille, or from Naples.
The generations
Under 25, 25-40, 40-60, 60 and over. The number of guests too.
Le Curseur
From “known by everyone” to “local gems”. You set the balance.
2. Le Déroulé
A soirée is not a list. It is an order.
The same track fills the floor at 23:30 and empties it at 20:00. We tell you which one, and why, then we do what you decide.
- 19:00
Arrivals
People arrive. Nobody dances yet, and that is deliberate.
- 20:30
Dinner
Known enough to be hummed, low enough to talk over.
- 22:00
First dance
One record. Yours if you have it, otherwise 3 suggestions.
- 22:40
Warm-up
The 40-60s get up first. They are who this hour is aimed at.
- 23:30
Peak
3 generations standing at once. Everything is calculated for this moment.
- 02:00
Last record
The one they remember. It is chosen before all the others.
3. The gems
The track nobody saw coming, and a whole table stands up.
Your Neapolitan guests have a song the entire family knows by heart and nobody else in the room has ever heard. That is the one that makes the night people still talk about.
A set made only of hits holds the floor without ever surprising it. One gem per phase, placed at the right moment, and the room understands the music was chosen for them.
- Le Curseur sets how many gems you get, from tracks everyone knows to real discoveries.
- Every gem comes from the regions your guests come from, not from a chart.
- The 30-second preview is right there: you judge it before you keep it.
Common questions
What people ask us before they start.
Eight questions, starting with the one that always comes first. Playing the set and changing it costs nothing.
- Spotify already turns a sentence into a playlist. Why you?
Spotify’s generator builds for one listener and for their discovery. We build the shared repertoire of a room: the ages, the origins and the eras of the guests.
That question is asked nowhere else. It is the one that decides whether the floor fills at 23:00.
- What do I actually set, instead of rewriting a sentence?
Three questions, then Le Curseur. Rewriting a sentence never tells you what changed between two tries.
Here every track carries its reason next to it. You see what your setting moved.
- What is Le Curseur, exactly?
The setting between tracks everyone knows and gems nobody in the room has heard. You move it, and the set changes.
How much unfamiliar music goes in is your decision. Not ours.
- Can I listen before I pay?
Yes. Every track plays as a 30-second preview, with no account and no card.
You judge the night by hearing it, not by trusting us.
- What if one track is wrong?
More like this or Not this one on that track, and the set rebuilds around your decision.
As many times as it takes, before you pay anything.
- What does it cost, and is it a subscription?
€4.99 once, for the files of one soirée. No week, no month, nothing to cancel.
A DJ costs €800 to €1,500 and cannot be heard before the day itself.
- Do I get a flat list?
No. The set arrives ordered into the phases of the night, from arrivals to the last record.
You move the hour of each phase, and you can skip one.
- What do I take away at the end?
The printable Déroulé, and the list as text and CSV. Then one link per track, opening it on Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer.
That is what the €4.99 buys. The set itself stays free, whole, and editable without limit.
Who we are
A small house, one product, one price.
Custom Playlists sells one thing: the set for one soirée. No subscription, no tiers, no boxes to tick.
The whole set is free, with no account and no card. The files to take away cost €4.99 once, for that soirée.
What we know accumulates. Every soirée we build teaches us what fills a floor, in that region, for those ages — and the next one benefits.
Three questions, and you hear your own room.
Free, no account. The whole night plays and changes with nothing to pay.
