Describe your DJ style:

Our style is all about YOU! Born in the club industry, we know the beat that makes a party truly unforgettable.

For weddings and other formal occasions, you’ll find our staff dressed in black suits. We always maintain a classy, well-groomed appearance.

If you do not have one of the songs pre-requested by the client, do you require that they provide it?

While we’ve got a pretty extensive collection, we might not have every single song out there. But don’t worry, we’re more than happy to accept any music you want to share with us! If you’ve got your tunes on a USB, preferably in MP3 format, that’s perfect. Or feel free to send over Spotify and YouTube playlist as well. We really encourage you to bring in any special songs or cuts that are meaningful to you or your event. Let’s make your music selection uniquely yours!
