About Me Hello! I’m Gary (Hatton), a Cheshire-based DJ with a true lifelong passion for music, delivering high-energy, crowd-pleasing sets tailored to every vibe. Known for my personable style and dedication to creating memorable experiences, I bring years of music knowledge and day job customer service expertise to every gig. My background in customer service means I know how to read the room and people, connect with guests, and make sure each event is an absolute success! With me behind the decks, expect an immersive experience where every guest feels part of the action. I don’t just press play—I blend, remix, and keep the energy building with surprises, mash-ups, and unexpected twists. From classic throwbacks to modern beats, I know how to craft the perfect set to keep the floor packed all night long. Alternately I can play to your pre requests or playlists. What Sets Me Apart • Pro DJ Skills, Pro Service: With over 25 years in customer service, I know how to deliver a polished, professional experience from start to finish. I handle every detail, so you can enjoy a seamless event without a hitch. Punctual, prepared, and passionate about getting it right—I’m all in to make every night memorable. • Adaptable & Interactive: I bring the energy you’re looking for! Whether it’s reading the room or adjusting to requests on the spot, I create a tailored experience that leaves everyone feeling like the party was made for them. • Versatility Across Genres: Whatever the vibe, I’ve got you covered. From pub favourites to dance floor anthems, I switch effortlessly across genres to give the crowd exactly what they want. I’ve got a knack for mixing unexpected favourites with the latest hits—keeping everyone hooked and the energy high. My Musical Style & Experience With years of experience in pubs, private events, and clubs, I’ve built a broad and exciting repertoire across genres. My sets draw from a range of styles and artists, including as examples: • Party Hits & Crowd Favourites: ◦ Indie & Rock Classics: Oasis, Stereophonics, Kings of Leon ◦ Classic Dance Anthems: N-Trance, Faithless, Strike ◦ Cheesy Party Tunes: Wigfield, Macarena, and a bit of Bob the Builder for the kids! ◦ R&B & Hip-Hop: Akon, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem • Specialty Styles: ◦ Classic & Vocal House (think Frankie Knuckles, Calvin Harris) ◦ Melodic & Deep House (Ben Böhmer, Lane 8) ◦ Tech & Disco House (Purple Disco Machine, CamelPhat) ◦ Trance & Techno: Driving beats from Above & Beyond to Charlotte de Witte ◦ Drum & Bass: Mixing high energy and big drops to keep the crowd moving Bringing More to the Decks Beyond great music, I’m all about creating an experience that sticks with people long after the night ends. Here’s what I bring to the table: • Top-Tier Equipment & Setup Options: Whether it’s using the venue’s setup or bringing my own pro gear, I ensure the best sound and visuals to make the night unforgettable. My packages can include lighting, sound, and even custom visuals for that added wow factor. • Custom Visuals & Live Streaming: Got a big screen? I can stream live visuals, bringing an extra layer of excitement to your event. Imagine the crowd dancing on screen with fun graphics and effects! (This does involve some setup, so just let me know in advance!) • Approachable & Engaging: I pride myself on creating a fun, inclusive atmosphere. I treat each event as if it’s my own, so expect me to be all-in from start to finish. Why Book Me? Simply put, I live for this. Music, mixing, and creating unforgettable nights are what I’m all about. Whether it’s a lively pub crowd, a packed club, an intimate gathering, or my own man cave I’ll be there to make sure everyone leaves with a smile. I believe in keeping the vibe right, focusing on quality over flash, and always staying true to the music. Ready to Make Your Event Unforgettable? Let’s make it happen! I’m ready to bring the energy, professionalism, and a top-tier music experience to your next event. Just reach out, and we’ll start planning the perfect night.

Gary produced a great evening of entertainment for my dad’s 70th birthday bash. The music provided was great and had everybody up dancing into the evening. The set up looked great and complemented the professional approach from Gary. Thank you for helping us make it a memorable occasion for us all. Sent from my iPhone
