Gillingham

We have been DJing since the early 80's and have an extensive selection of music from all genres. Symon was a club DJ in eastern Europe for three years and returned to the UK ten years ago and has been a mixed format DJ since. He specialises in contemporary chart, dance, house, heavy house, tropical house and Ibiza. Having said all that, he does a pretty mean techno mix too. He is an experienced Wedding DJ and can read his audience well. We also use Vibo to help our clients choose the music that they want to hear and we guarantee to play every song on your list!!

Simon's Reviews

5 out of 5

Simon was fantastic. In the build up to the wedding, he was very conscientious and went to great lengths to get to know us as a couple, and really tailored the music to our relationship. He handled the wedding guests really well and kept up an amazing atmosphere. We got lots of compliments throughout our wedding reception on the quality of our DJ. I highly recommend Simon, you should choose him!

I organised a birthday party for my bosses wife at Gordon Ramsay's Heddon Street Kitchen. Symon was amazing! He kept everyone dancing all night long and he worked closely with the Elvis Tribute act who also used his gear as the venue was quite small. Many thanks Symon

Customer questions

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

We are super flexible. We will do anything to meet your needs within reason. We only carry out one booking per night/day, so as long as we have enough notice!

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

Um. We DJ so this is not a problem. If you want a chill mix running while everyone is being fed - no problem!

How much time do you need to set up?

Ah! Big Gigs take longer! So allow 1 and half hours for a large hall (Lyceum Ballroom or an O2 Academy). For up to 100 people we can be set up and playing in half an hour.

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

Yes! Defo! We use Vibo. Its an App that you download onto your phone. You can pick all the songs you want us to play before the event. You can also ask all of your guests to contribute to the playlist too. You can then choose to have a no-play list as well

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Absolutely. Not only that, we bring spares of everything so that your enjoyment is guaranteed!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

We don't play (just to be clear!) we DJ. Having said that, we do mix. Boy! Do we mix! So if there are a selection of songs that you want seemlessly mixed together into a creative montage, we can certainly do this and.... We love doing this! Just fancy doing a job that you actually love, day in day out! Hope you are jealous!

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Most clients tell us that we read the room well. That we know which song to play next in order to keep the dancing and party going!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Biggest and longest was a club in Bratislava called Dopler. It was the biggest club in the whole of Slovakia. Played also at the California both upstairs and in the Devil's Den. Lyceum Ballroom (When it was a Dance venue!). More recently, Altitude on the Top of Millbank Tower, London. The Sky Bar also London. Lots of Hilton Double Trees!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Carl Cox is one of my Heroes. Atman Van Burren is another including the Armada Trio. Amelie Lens, Fatboy Slim! Oh! How can I forget the only other person who is my age exactly! Pete Tong!!

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

Has to be at Dopler! We had some absolute banging nights there! Played till the sun came up!
