Club DJ

Club nights with DJ Paul Linney, including playlists. A good Club DJ needs to work with management to maximise the success of an evening helping with the promotion of any event he plays at via Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels.

They should be able to provide music that works for the goals set by the management team of the venue. I have played in clubs around the world and in doing so see and dealt with differing needs from Zanzibar to Ibiza, Turkey to Cyprus.

Musically as well, I can play to the local crowd if needed or introduce them to something new if required.

Party in a rather nice house

This Saturday, I DJ'd at a rather nice house in Cobham. Swimming pool, tennis courts, paddock etc. I was in three turreted tents adjoining the side of the property and given a free hand on the lighting, just told they wanted an Ibizan club. So I put up a couple of Mirror balls and aimed mauve and green lasers at them. Then placed four scanners, a couple of spots and a strobe aound the room and DMX'd them up to

Wedding in Laleham Park

This weekend, I DJ'd at a lovely wedding in Laleham Park, Surrey. 200 people, lovely weather and an unusual setting, made for a great time. The location was right in the middle of the Park football pitch with the chairs outside and me playing motown love songs as the guests arrived. When the Bride walked down the aisle her sister sang a Sade number to her and I played Signed Sealed Delivered. I also took photos of the blessing and

The Hope in Kew

The Diamond Rock Ball went well and I have been booked for next year, which is always a good sign. This Friday I am at The Hope in Kew playing to 150 35-45 year old who like partying and love Ibiza. Should be a good night. the venue has no sound limiter issues and I can use smoke, so lazers and lighting will used to good effect. The following night is an 18th in Esher again 150 people this time

Royal Berkshire Polo Club Summer Party

Great Wedding Disco

DJ'd at a great wedding at the weekend. The location was a converted old barn deep in the Royal Berkshire countryside, there was about 150 guests, which really helps make the wedding go with swing (why do more couples not invite more guests to the evening reception?) I had been told to read the crowd and keep them dancing a lovely free brief in this age of lengthy song lists. This is what I played. 1 Dream A Little Dream

Polo Gold Cup

On Sunday night, I was the DJ at the Polo Gold Cup after party. 200 for dinner plus another 100 more in the evening, so plenty of people to entertain. This is a very mixed crowd and and this is reflected in the playlist. (below) I tried to get Ableton synced with Traktor, but was not happy with the result. Looks like for now it will be Traktor for DJing and Traktor for playing live. Still trying to get my

Tricky 18th Party

Hi On Saturday, I DJ'd at an 18th Birthday. The brief was to play chart, Drum and Bass and club music with some stuff for the parents and a bit of party music at the end. This made a bit harder by the turnout of about 150 in a room that could easily do 250. Oh and can you play some Movie theme tunes at the begining as it Fancy dress - come as your favourite movie This is how
