Equipment
Modern, high-tech computerised DJ system. (On which I have a better music collection than some radio stations). I am currently using a laptop and a Denon MC7000 controller
Assuming I have internet access I am also able to able to access the iTunes and Amazon libraries as well as DJ specific sites (with much underground and unreleased music). With these I have access to well in excess of 10 million tracks. Note: I am a proper DJ and work hard, I’m normally too busy to download more than a couple of tracks on the night – please discuss playlists whilst booking. (Note – it’s very rare though that I won’t have everything you ask for anyway)
Every party I do is bespoke in one way or another. To give you some idea of what equipment I will bring please have a read of the page below
Standard Setup
- Two 12″ 400W full range speakers and an 18″ 500W Subwoofer – That’s quite a powerful sound system, comfortably running a disco in a reasonably large venue – with up to 150 / 200 people
- For larger venues or more people – larger sound systems are available
- Mobile DJ Booth with a backlit facade
- Disco Lights
- LED Par Can floodlights, coloured wash lights which bathe the room in coloured light, flashing to the beat (Only used in larger venues)
- Derby light – a large number of sharp beams of light which move in small circles. Simple but very effective. Moving, flashing and changing colour with the music
- Moving mirror gobo lights – one for the floor, each fixture puts out one bright image which swings around the room, with over 100 picture / colour combinations, in time with the music
- LED Moving head wash lights
- Strobe light – 1500W strobe light. A beast. I only use this occasionally in short bursts
- Hazer – not really a light but it puts out a thin smoke which makes the lights much more effective. Note: This isn’t actually smoke, it’s water based
- UV wash light
- I am able to get hold of other lights such as mirror balls, profile spotlights etc if needed. Please ask for information
- Microphones if needed for speeches
Reduced setup
- As above but WITHOUT the following items
- Subwoofer – This will reduce the volume of the system making it more suited to around 100 people in a smaller venue. It will also have less bass
- Strobe light
- Lasers
- Hazer
- UV light
- Wireless mics
Other ideas and considerations
More options are available such as uplighting, larger sound systems, digital projectors, laser shows and many other ‘toys’ – I have a lot of other equipment available to me. I am able to cater for much larger events if required. Please feel free to discuss your requirements
Please note that outdoor events which involve lasers, searchlights or balloon releases need additional planning with the CAA (which is easy to get but requires a lot of time).
