Verified profile

I specialise in 90s, 80s and 00s dance music that crosses generations, energises and brings pure good vibes to a dancefloor the way music should. I play regularly at iconic clubs, bars, parties, venues and festivals - with my career taking off to the point of just becoming a full-time DJ. I love classics, gems, and tasteful remixes across all great genres including: House (Ibiza, Vocal, 90s, Garage, Rave, Club Classics) - Pop - Funk/Disco - RnB - New Wave/Synthpop - Italodisco - and tonnes of nostalgic or anthemic bangers across the last 40 years. One highlight for me has been packing out a festival stage 3 nights in a row, keeping all others around empty. I regularly play events of all kinds, and as a great people person who knows what a crowd wants, I love DJing. My vibe is party-starter - I love giving energy through music and pure good vibes - but I'm also very experienced with providing background music too, to standout feedback. I've spent most of recent years deep in music discovery, taking my DJ career to new heights as now a full time DJ. I love to play and see reaction to all the best songs across so many great genres.

Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Countless London clubs, events, weddings, bars and more - and events in multiple countries across Europe.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

90s and 80s artists primarily, plus pop artists of today - from club classics and 80s icons to current stars such as Kylie, Madonna.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Glastonbury

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

If minor changes no problem, happens! I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

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

Sure.

How much time do you need to set up?

Where decks are provided, 15-20 minutes to double check all is working fine. If I am providing my decks, 30-45 minutes to make sure everything is working.

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

My set lists are made and refined from countless performances in many different settings, learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I bring my USBs and headphones, then I would check with you what speaker set up you've sorted, to make sure you have all the wires you need, and the right decks (CDJs) if I am not providing them.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

n/a but happy to play certain songs, at certain times, if told in advance.
