guest DJ

Invited booth talent

A guest DJ is a disc jockey who performs at a venue, radio station, or event as a visiting artist rather than as the regular or resident DJ.

The term implies someone brought in specifically for an occasion, often because of their reputation or following: The club announced a guest DJ from Berlin for Saturday night.

Guest DJs typically headline special events or fill in during absences.
