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.

We were recommended Dan by a family member who had been the Dj for their friends wedding, after a quick browse of his Instagram I knew he’d be a good fit for us. We got in touch and from the beginning of communicating, Dan was so graceful and I could tell that nothing was too much trouble. I explained we had had some bad experiences with DJs for past special events, and that the music was one of the most important parts of our night, he completely understood this and put me at ease straight away. We initially didn’t have a set date or venue, but Dan blocked out 2 dates for us as he knew this was a special birthday party. From then he was in regular communication about the event, what kind of music we wanted, he let us know from the beginning he takes requests and also has a really handy QR code that you can scan instead of having to shout over to him - although we just did that anyway 🤣 Dan was so accommodating and even made sure I was happy with his set up placement. We really had the best night and Dan was a massive part of that. He played all our requests and even all the songs the kids wanted and got them up dancing for hours. Thank you so much Dan, you’re a gem!

I have never used Dan before but we are so glad we did, he took the time and effort to get to know what we liked and create a playlist that worked amazingly well. Taking requests and reading the crowd all added to the evenings enjoyment and atmosphere. We would 100% use Dan again and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks for being part of our special evening Dan.
