"Art is what you can get away with." - Marshall McLuhan
Well I just had to do one of these on Saturday and let me tell you, it was just brutal. I mean it was miserable. These kids want to hear nothing but what's on the radio, and nothing more. When they say techno, they literally mean David Guetta and Flo Rida. Be prepared.
Why not just charge 5$ a request Gould curb most request unless they are drunk 13yo
On a more serious note check out DMC I use it almost exclusively for chart stuff and although North Americans have different taste ten across the pond it's pretty good. Also they have some like 50 to 100 disc collections that will get you right on par...
I would seriously need at least $1500 to play a gig like that. It sounds brutal. Good luck.
The top 40 (techno) tip is one of the better ones here.
I have had the honor of DJing at one of the school parties of my eldest daughter (age group 4-12 year olds)
the best thing I had done, was look at some of the children top 40 lists of the last two months, and see what tracks I could grab.
(I ended up with enough tracks to double or triple the time I needed, and I even did requests through a single list.)

I played at my niece's 9th birthday party a few months ago. I just looked at the Billboard charts for the past couple of months and grabbed a bunch of that stuff.. I snuck in a few classics too, like One More Time, etc. It worked out great, and it was actually a lot of fun.

Loads of Katy Perry, Nicky Minaj, One Direction, Justin Bieber and that kind of stuff. All clean versions though! Good luck!
