Fifty somethings Funky birthday party

Fifty Funky Party - This Funky Fifty something wanted to relive his youth with music he heard in the clubs back in the day.  A bit of Funk finished of with some 90's House and a few Faithless tracks. Here are some of the comments from the guests: "the music was the best I have had for years, my feet are still hurting...." “Your work the other night was brilliant, I’m no aficionado, but that was the best music and

Alternative 80’s night in Tanzania

Alternative 80's night in Tanzania - While in Zanzibar, I also played at an 80's event. They did not want the normal 80's cheese and chart music but a cooler more club like set. The tracks I played where like a Blitz meets the Hacienda type set and for me a really enjoyable challenge.         Talking with Myself '98 (Canny Remix) Electribe 101 Fade to grey nu mix cinematic Rusty Egan Colourfield - virgins and philistines -

Glitterbox – Ministry of Sound London

I like to keep abreast of what is happening musically and recently went to the Ministry of Sound to catch up on the latest tunes being played by the likes of Joey Negro, John Morales and  Todd Terry at the Defected night that has been getting rave revues in Ibiza namely Glitterbox. There are some great mixes of classic 80's tunes that really help to lift a party. Below is a playlist of some of the Glitterbox tracks I may

80’s disco night Bisoux Lounge Esher

I was invited back to Bisoux Lounge last week to kick of the Xmas party season with an 80's disco night, think Glitterbox. I was quite pleased to be asked when you look at the other DJ's on the December rota, with most of them being Ibiza residents. We had a great party night with the venue full of a mix of all ages who danced the night away till 02.00 in the morning.   Come Into My Life PLAY

ExCel Centre 80’s Corporate Party

80’s Remixed Party – Mables Covent Garden – London

 I played at a great venue recently, Mable's in Covent Garden. Upstairs they have a great bar and restaurant, but go down a few flights of stairs in to the basement and you are in an amazing party area with great friendly staff. My brief for this event was remixed 80's or eighties tunes with a modern feel to them. So if you need to hire a London DJ give me a call.   80's remixed playlist In Private (12"

Cruel Summer – Spectrum Disco

It's a Cruel Summer......Here is a recent playlist from one on my 80's nights, it gives an example of the variety of music that I play. There are so many great tunes from the eighties that every party I play at the music is different. There is the just so much from New Romantics at the start of the decade to the start of House music at the end. Title Artist Wild World (Long And Saxy) Maxi Priest What I Like

The clients for this 50th Birthday party really went to town with this brilliant Fancy Dress party. They managed to squeeze a marquee into the back garden of a 3 floor London Victorian Villa in Battersea and take their guests back to the time of Poldark. My brief was to play older tunes with a modern twist which was achieved by the playlist below and the client very happy "Thanks a lot for doing such a fantastic job" It was great
