Sarah booked LKE for a private event
Monday, 26th June 2023
It's always a bit of a risk booking a DJ you've not actually seen in person. It is a decent amount of money to spend and - as this was a very special friend’s 50th - there was a lot of expectation riding on the success of the music.
We had the event in Bristol and, it being Glastonbury weekend, booking a local DJ was impossible. On top of this we are a pretty specific (fussy) group.
Having grown up in the late 80s/90s rave scene and having a love of deep house and techno. It was not looking promising. Spotify playlists were being prepared.
When we found LKE, he immediately sent messages with some mixes and shared his Soundcloud. It was exactly what we were looking for, but he was in Leicester. We felt nervous – with a distance like this, there was potential for things to go wrong.
But from the start to finish, LKE provided us with reassurance and was committed to understanding our favourite tracks before mixing them into a spectacular three-hour set. It made us feel like we had our own club night – and everyone absolutely loved the vibe and LKE himself.
He is a perfectionist and, in fact, a bit of a maestro – passionate about his medium and the people he plays for. But, on top of all of this, he is an incredibly open and fun person adding lots to the atmosphere.
The result has been our WhatsApp Group blowing up with praise and reports of how much fun everyone had on the dancefloor. On one of the most humid nights of the year, the whole experience was just like some of the underground club nights, sweaty and freeing – and the music was properly on point.
So, we could not recommend him more fully to anyone who looking for a house and techno/not a standard DJ experience.
Thank you so much LKE. Can’t wait for the next time ❤️
