Music ~ Sound ~ Lighting

Music - We have two goals for your party:

  • Something for Everyone - We will find a variety of songs that will appeal to even the most stubborn of guests and will get as many people up dancing as we can.
  • Requests - We will accomodate as many as possible from you and your guests. We also suggest you e mail us a playlist of around 20 must play songs or dedications. Please note that we have the ultimate say as to whether to play songs or not.

Our collection of music is very extensive. We have thousands of MP3 files but experience tells us which are the most popular. The music spans 5 decades and we have a very wide variety of songs covering every genre of music and including the most up to date chart material. Add to that a very large selection of specially mixed MP3 files for DJ use only. 

We generally avoid extreme genres such as Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and Metal but a bit of Rock is good!

Trust us to make the right choices at the right times and please bear in mind a song that sounds great on your iPod or in the car will not necessarily fill the dancefloor or get people moving!

Sound - Our PA is the LUCAS 1000 system. It provides 1000 Watts of output. LUCAS (Lightweight Ultra Compact Active System) 1000 is an excellent German made audio system consisting of a 600 Watt RMS Subwoofer and two 200 Watt RMS Satellite speakers. It is very compact, crystal clear and one system copes easily with audiences of 500. We can link 2 of these together for bigger gigs and we will also work with cabaret acts and Bands to make sure we put on a great show. Behind the PA are Citronic Mixers, a tried and tested piece of DJ kit offering reliability and versatility.

Multimedia Player - Russ currently uses the Denon HD 2500 Multimedia Player. The 40Gb internal hard drive allows us to store up to 10000 songs and this is an incredible piece of kit. We rarely cannot meet a request and Russ gets very irritated if you find a song he hasn't got! Test him! In any event we always encourage you to provide us with a playlist and any dedications before your event. See the You Tube demo below.

Lighting - Supported on a T-Bar lighting rig we have synchronised LFX Revolvers, NJD Datamoons and American DJ Revo 3's. For larger gigs we use 2 DAP Audio Kaleidoscope retro light boxes at 3 ft square. We do not use strobe lights due to the potentially adverse effects. Water based fog machines are used with caution if the venue allows these. Trust us to light up your party and create the right atmosphere! Check out the amazing Revo III below, two of which are used as the main lighting in most of our gigs.

Karaoke Collection - The karaoke collection has now expanded to well over 3000 songs! We are on a regular mailing list for new releases to add to the all time karaoke classics.

We display several catalogues of listings along with request slips to make it easy for everyone to put in a request. More often than not we end up with a surplus of slips as the dutch courage builds up. However both Russ and Tim have been known to mingle with the punters to get requests from even the most stubborn crowd! Tim is our main man for karaoke but he plays in a band so as a result we have limited availability for karaoke but please ask.
