Why should I book you for my party?
Book us if you want a DJ to make your party
unique and talked about. If you want to connect with music
and have memories that will last a life time. Humping heavy
equipment around at all times of the day and night is for
a love of great music. From pop to punk, rock to ragga; It
is also for the love of entertaining a crowd - not with mindless
chat, but good quality, uplifting music.
What music do you play?
I don't prepare a “play list”, I like to assess
a crowd and then work with them. Depending on their responses
to certain music, will determine how I play that night.Our
skills working with a crowd have developed & matured over
many years, it is not something everyone has and, it certainly
can’t be purchased from Ebay!
Like an enthusiastic football manager, I play the guaranteed
stars:- Faithless in Goal, The Beatles, Stones & Happy
Mondays in Midfield with the Sugarhill Gang in Defence and
Kanye & Chaka Khan up front. I would use Moby as the
boot cleaner and Beth Ditto as the masseuse, I like a good
pummeling!
A typical night
would start with some warm up music to get the alcohol moving,
this might include some Funk, Salsa, Soul & some classics.(This
is where people go "I haven't heard this since my friend......)
When your crowd are ready,I will usually start with some Classic
Disco, R&B, Bootlegs, Mashups House and “classic
tracks”. Depending on the age of the crowd, I will whip
in a few Motown, 70’s, 80’s, Brit Pop, Ska and
maybe a "sing-song" near the end,I generally try
and avoid cheesy howlers however; if that's all your crowd
wants to hear, then I will do my best.
Do you play requests?
Depends what you ask for, If it works with the journey that
we are on together and I have it, then sure. If you are getting
married or having a party, I always ask clients to send me
a list of tracks they want to hear, this helps us with the
choice of tunes on the night.
What sound & lighting equipment do you use?
I use the best technology for the job. Pioneer CDJ1000 decks
& Mixer, Mackie active (amps in the back of the speakers)
2.5KW sound system, Bose console monitoring, and Sure mic.
Great big sound in other words.
The lighting includes a Green laser, Big Strobe, Big UV Canon,
Smoke; intelligent lighting, Scanners & Martin Wizard.
In fact, it is like a mobile nightclub.
What are your charges?
First, I like to speak to a client before I take a booking;
I need to find out if I are right for your party. If your
crowd likes to dance to “High Ho Silver Lining”and
the "Grease Megamix"then I are not right for you.
A price will be offered when various information has been
supplied. I am more expensive than some, and cheaper than
others.
Will you wear a Black Tie?
Sorry, I look like a waiter and feel uncomfortable. I'll wear
a Paul Smith suit and Prada pants if that's OK? |
