DJ Dan Taylor

I’m Dan Taylor, a Hertfordshire DJ who loves creating nights that actually feel memorable… not just another Spotify playlist through a PA. Rock and emo are where I started, and they’ll always be a big part of my sets, but I’m known just as much for mixing across multiple genres in one evening. Pop, dance, R&B, drum and bass, party classics… if it gets people moving, I’ll find a way to blend it in. One of the things people always comment on is my mashups. I love taking songs that have absolutely no business being in the same room and making them work together. The more “this shouldn’t work” it feels, the more fun it is. I enjoy catching people off guard… watching a room full of people look up like what?!, then immediately scream the chorus because somehow it just fits. But for me, it’s not just the music. I thrive off the interaction. I’m always watching the crowd, feeling the energy shift, spotting who’s singing, who’s dancing, who’s waiting for “their” song. I don’t just hide behind the decks, I like being part of the room. A big part of what makes me different is how seriously I take the smooth running of the entire event. Whether it’s a wedding, party, or bar night, I want people to feel like everything just happens without stress. I turn up early, keep the setup clean and professional, and work directly with the venue so you don’t have to worry about a thing. My job is to handle all the moving parts, your job is to enjoy YOUR night. I’ve played for all sorts of crowds and every event has its own rhythm. Some nights call for emo nostalgia, some for JUST country, some for singalongs that get louder every hour. I lean into whatever the room gives me and build the night around it. No two sets are ever the same, and that’s exactly why I love doing this. Versatility is something I’m really proud of. You can have rock and emo early on, switch into dance or R&B, throw in some chart hits, and end on absolute party anthems… and it’ll flow like one continuous story rather than a grab-bag of random songs. Mixing everything together smoothly, especially across genres, is something I’ve worked on in extreme depth. At the end of the night, I want your event to feel like it worked. That the music made sense, the atmosphere built naturally, and everyone left talking about how good the night was. If you want a DJ who brings energy, interaction, creativity and a few “did he really just mix that?” moments, I’d love to be part of your event.
