What an amazing night with the best mix of music. We can't thank Greg enough- he was fantastic at keeping the dancing going all night and read the room perfectly. We had the best night dancing away as newly weds. Couldn't recommend enough!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

All of my performances are live mixed from our huge range of music tracks to adapt and respond to the needs of the dancefloor - no pre-recorded sets. Professional sound and lighting equipment, and always communicate and liaise with you to craft your perfect event so that: We create; You celebrate.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Before relocating to Cornwall: Cambridge University College May Balls, Royal Cambridge Hotel, Cambridge University Arms Hotel. Since relocating to Cornwall: Eden Project, Atlantic Hotel, Newquay, Riverside Holiday Park, Devon, and annual visits to DJ at night clubs in Tenerife and Canary Islands.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As a DJ I am influenced by our crowd on the dancefloor, not a particular artiste or genre. As such I have the ability to adapt and change to suit all. You drive our music. This is my advantage as I am not limited in the way a solo artiste or band is. I keep in tune with the crowd.

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

Performing alongside such diverse artistes as Prodigy, and Jools Holland. Far too many to name.

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help your event to run as smoothly as possible. If you need us to set up earlier let us know as soon as possible. If your party is so successful that you ask for an extension we will usually be able to do this but may need to agree some additional payment before we continue.

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

Absolutely. For example, if a wedding requires a PA system for speeches in the afternoon, but the main entertainment does not start until the evening, we may be able to leave a pre-recorded background set of music until the main DJ event gets the party started.

How much time do you need to set up?

min 1 hr, space 2m x2m. min 1 x13 amp socket We usually set up about an hour in advance, and this may be just before the performance starts, or could be earlier in the day if guests will already be present for a meal or live artiste etc.

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

You are welcome to supply a play list which we can include in our performance, or even a DO NOT PLAY list. However, we discourage a request to play a prescribed order as we prefer to use our experience and expertise to judge the dance floor and mood of the crowd, to choose the best time for your requests.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

own sound and light provide everything. Yes, absolutely! We provide all sound system and lighting effects. All we require is a minimum single 13A mains socket, and a set up space of approx. 2m wide and 2 m deep.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
