We are thrilled to have you perform at our social club, designed for Toledo’s entrepreneurial and creative class. As you prepare for your set, we’d like to share some important guidelines to help you understand the unique atmosphere at TolHouse and ensure a seamless experience for both you, attendees, and our Members.

Understanding TolHouse

TolHouse is not a nightclub. We are a private social club designed for our Members to connect, unwind, and enjoy a sophisticated environment. Think of TolHouse as a place where the ambiance is more akin to a high-end hotel lobby than a traditional nightclub. Our goal is to maintain an elegant and relaxed atmosphere that complements the refined experiences our Members seek.

Music Selection

• Radio Versions Only: We require that all songs played at TolHouse are the radio-edit versions. This ensures that the music remains appropriate and respectful for all our Members.
• Curated Playlist: We value a wide range of musical styles and ask that your set leans toward timeless classics, soulful melodies, and laid-back rhythms, steering clear of tracks that may be overly aggressive or disruptive to our environment.
• Smooth Transitions: The flow of music should be smooth and consistent. We encourage you to avoid excessively high-energy tracks that might disrupt the overall vibe we intend to maintain at TolHouse.

Performance Etiquette

• Minimal Talking Over Music: To maintain the sophisticated ambiance, we ask that you keep microphone usage to a minimum. Announcements and shout-outs should be limited and tasteful.
• Volume Control: Please be mindful of the volume levels. The music should enhance the environment without overwhelming it. We aim for a balance where Members and guests can enjoy the music and still engage in conversation comfortably.
• Audience Engagement: While Member engagement is encouraged, remember that the focus should remain on providing a backdrop for social interactions. Avoid hyping up the crowd as you would in a typical nightclub setting.

Atmosphere Considerations

• Respect the Space: TolHouse is a place where our Members and guests come to relax and socialize. Your set should contribute to an atmosphere that is both welcoming and sophisticated, allowing our Members to enjoy their time without feeling like they’re in a high-energy club environment.
• Dress Code: While there’s no strict dress code for DJs, we appreciate a polished and professional appearance that aligns with the overall aesthetic of TolHouse.

By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll help us maintain the unique atmosphere that makes TolHouse special. We look forward to having you create an unforgettable experience for our Members.
