Akin's Reviews

5 out of 5

Akin was highly professional and adapted seamlessly to the audience. All in all, he brought the best vibes to our wine event. I cannot thank him enough and will be using him again for our next event.

I booked DJ Akin for an event at my pub and he managed to sway the locals to loving afrobeats. After this I bokked him for our New Years Eve party. He was so accommodating to all the guests and made everyone at the venue have the best entry to 2025. What a great selection and amazing DJ

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I am quite flexible and will be willing to amend travel arrangements accordingly. If I can be told at least 48 hours ahead of time that would be ideal.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

100% I have a plethora of available playlists or mixes for various occasions that can be called upon before and between my sets. This will include an additional £75 for this

How much time do you need to set up?

I own my decks, which are easy to set up if all the speakers are ready to plug into. The most time it would take me to set up will be 1 hr

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I always want to get insights from clients on what they would like to hear, so I can best tailor the night to their liking. I take time tailoring set lists based on track BPMs, key and other elements of tracks.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I have my own decks but do not own speakers. I have some available that I can use if required.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I do not play live instruments so this will not be applicable for my booking
