Radio Active Mobile Disco

I always ensure that I am properly attired to suit the occasion. For weddings and formal events, I always wear slacks, shirt, and a jacket. For more casual events such as 21st birthdays, I’ll still be neatly dressed but more casually. Please let me know when making a booking or beforehand if you have any special requirements

I use the latest in DJ technology. I’ve done away with vinyl and CD’s and gone fully computerised using Virtual DJ software running on a notebook hooked up to a professional grade controller, mixer, amplifer and quality timber speakers and sub-woofer. The equipment doesn’t only sound good, it looks good, it’s reliable, stylish and compact that compliments any venue or reception. The sound output is crisp and clear, and volume adjusted to the comfort of the guests. The lights which include Lasers, RGB & UV LED’s provide amazing lighting effects in conjunction with a smoke machine and use it where appropriate to create a fantastic party atmosphere where people can dance and enjoy themselves. For those that are concerned about power usage and the environment, I use energy efficient equipment requiring only a single powerpoint!

Even though I have over 20,000 tracks to choose from, I can’t exactly play everything in my collection! Infact, there is so much music to choose from, I can play for weeks continuously without a single repeat! The quantity of songs doesn’t really matter. During a typical 5 hour event, I’ll be lucky to get through 100 songs. It’s the quality and range of music that matters most, the songs that will get you and your guests on the dancefloor. It’s the ability to read the room and play the appropriate music to the crowd. I adapt and improvise on the fly to make it work. Some DJ’s are rigid and have a set playlist. That’s not DJ’ing, that’s a jukebox! I’ll play softer background music during meals, and turn it up it’s time to party. For example, I won’t be playing the bangers while people are eating or mingling, I’ll save the good stuff for later! I stick to the music that appeals to the general crowd, with favourites from 60’s Rock n’ Roll, 70’s Disco, 80’s Electronica, 90’s Dance anthems, 2000’s hits and current top 40 songs that people know and love to dance to. I don’t play random ‘doof doof’ music which you hear in the clubs and might clear the dancefloor (unless that’s what you want of course!) When making a booking, or anytime before the event day, please send me a list of some of the music you would like to hear so that I can have an idea of what styles of music to play on the day. If there is something that you want to hear that I do not have, I will try and get it beforehand, but you are always welcome to supply it to me either as an MP3 or on CD. And yes, I DO take requests during the night from guests, but I will play them to my discretion. Some music may not be appropriate at the time or the occasion. ie. Metallica at a wedding, Celine Dion at a 21st.

I always do my best to ensure that guests are happy with what I am doing, so I encourage guests to come and see if they have any requests or requirements. I make announcements such introduce special request, inform guests when meals are to be served, introduce speeches and of course happy to announce and introduce the bridal party and welcome everyone to the venue with house keeping rules and what to expect during the evening. I’m very approachable, easy to talk to, don’t dance around like lunatic, talk over every track or sing along with the music unlike some other DJ’s either… I’m a professional!

No. I usually arrive at least 1 hour before the agreed start time to ensure that I am ready to go before the guests arrive. Please advise me if the venue does not have easy access so that I can allow additional time to set up. Most venues are easy to get into, but some require the use of lifts, stairs and other barriers that may take longer.
