10 things you need to know before hiring a DJ

  1. Who are you going to get? We train our own DJs, we don’t contract out to other DJs companies. All of our DJs carry the same core music so that you get consistency between each of our DJs
  2. What kind of music do you want? We find out exactly what music you want at your event. If we don’t have a song you want in our standard collection, then we will get it for you from our extensive back catalogue.
  3. Will the DJ take your guests requests? Our DJs take requests and will play them so long as they are within the scope of what you ask us for. If they are outside that scope our DJ will direct them to speak with you about their request.
  4. How much do they pay their DJs? We pay our DJs between 70 and 90% of your total bill, depending on how much sound equipment you hire. The industry average is 40-60%
  5. Do they use quality equipment? We use the same equipment for functions as we do in our nightclub installations. All our DJs use the same equipment.
  6. Do they have current music? We update our music collection monthly. All of our DJs also have the same core collection of music which we update every year.
  7. What will they wear? Our DJs wear clothing appropriate for the event. Let us know if you need your DJ to dress in a certain style when you book.
  8. Have they got a proven track record? We have been operating for 9 years and have over 30 trained DJs between Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane. We have provided DJs for over 1000 functions and supply entertainers for international hotels and some of Australias most popular nightclubs.
  9. Will they send you a written confirmation? We supply all of our customers with a written confirmation so that they know exactly what they are getting.
  10. Do they have backup equipment? All our systems have redundancy built in. If the redundant systems fail, then we also have staff that can deliver new equipment.
