If you’re planning your wedding for next year or beyond, then please don’t miss the opportunity to come and chat with us at one of the wedding fayres we’ll be attending this Autumn. Firstly, we’ll be at The Manor Hotel in Rainham, Essex on Sunday 25th September 2011. Doors open at 10.30am and it’s a…
Like any prospective customer, people like to see what they’re buying before they part with their hard-earned…….so starting in August we’ll be putting together a regular midweek showcase (dates and details will appear here!) at The Manor Hotel in Rainham, Essex. We’ll set up the full system as we would for a wedding/birthday/engagement, etc, and you’ll…
No doubt as you’ve perused our site, you’ve noticed the small Sample Mixes player on the left hand side of each page. Go ahead and click on one of the tracks for some light musical relief! And they are reassuringly not in the ‘Jive Bunny’ style of a-million-songs-a-minute! Today we’ve added a ‘Random Party Mix’ – this is definitely…
The original blog of our Unofficial Venue Guide to the Mangapp Manor has been removed at the request of the venue’s management team. If you would like to know our DJ-perspective critique of the Mangapp Manor (or any other venue that we have played) then please email us via the Contact page.
As sure as the world still spins and DFS have a sale on, we’ve gone and bought some more top-notch equipment! Adding to our already-impressive sound system collection, we now have a fully active Electrovoice 2500w kit, easily capable of satisfying larger crowds and bigger venues. Especially good for live music too, we’ll definitely be…
Nice to finally get a whole weekend to myself, and yet somehow still managed to spend most of it updating music folders or answering queries or quotes. When I did get out into the garden, the heavens cascaded upon me and prevented me from doing my favourite hobby…gardening. Huge irony for anyone that knows me.…
As always, we’re refreshing our DJ kit again and we have some top class equipment to sell. With everything we own, you are guaranteed it’s been well looked after and hi-spec gear….there’s no budget stuff amongst our set up! See below for details of what’s available – call or email if you are interested… Allen…
As part of our guide to the ‘party-worthiness’ of certain venues that we’ve frequented, we come to a venue which now uses us as their recommended resident DJ service. The Manor was formerly the famous/infamous Berwick Manor, the scene of some great house music raves in the late 80’s and early 90’s. That building was…
Due to a hotel administration error, we have just been informed that two weddings have been cancelled in early June (Saturday 4th and Saturday 11th) so we have two DJs free for those nights. Please call Ian immediately on 07798 753639 if you would like to hire our services. First come, first served!
Wow! We done it! Massive thanks to my favourite website builder in the whole world, Dave Thurston of MadWebDesigns for all his support, patience and nagging! Hope you like the new look site. Twitter and a better blog have been added, along with much more detail regarding our services. We always welcome feedback, so let…
Well, I guess it was inevitable really…..I have been reinstalled as an Orsett Hall resident DJ after nearly two years away. Following the ‘buy-out’ of the previous owner (with whom I never quite saw eye-to-eye!) I have been asked to return to the fold by the new management team at the hotel. Officially I am…
Just had my first taste of playing at this venue…..and I loved it! A DJ’s dream to be honest, everything is already installed and immaculately so too. It makes such a refreshing change for a venue to actually spend good money on installing sound and lighting equipment to a high spec. The whole dancefloor area…
Here’s another (personal) review of a venue I find myself at on many occasions throughout the year. Remember, it’s not a comment on their food, drink or services…it’s just an opinion from the DJ’s perspective on how ‘party-worthy’ the function suites are…. The Monks Barn Quite a large room, holding up to 180 guests I…
What can I say?…My old haunt…..1994-2008 as resident DJ…it has now been rebuilt following the devasting fire of 2007. And what a fantasic looking job too! The Whitmore Suite From the brief glimpse I got whilst visiting a working colleague, very modern and plush. The DJ’s position was a bit cramped and the dance floor…
Over the past couple of years, function suites and halls of all types have been installing electronic sound-monitoring devices in order to keep noise down to an acceptable level for the neighbours. In a large number of cases, these monitors work very well…..they simply cut the power to the DJ/band’s equipment when the max level is…
I’ve just launched a brand new site for fellow DJs and music lovers alike, called www.scottiemix.co.uk In brief, I now offer a music mixing service…I can provide DJs with their whole set mixed together professionally on one MP3 file, I can re-edit those eternally long 12″ mixes to make them more commercially playable and I…
Oh, the mad rush has begun! This time of year sees my in-box and website almost catch fire with the amount of activity regarding weddings for the summer. Why do people leave it so late?! I bet the bloody cakes and dresses were ordered last year!! Still, there are a few dates left to fill and…
‘I Was Like That After My First Pint’ or Stories From The Drunk & Disorderly Invariably, there’s a bar wherever I turn up to DJ. And where there’s a bar, there’s always someone eager to take advantage of it’s contents. Below are some of the great examples of how not to behave on a night…
As one of the foremost Essex mobile disco service providers, I will be reviewing some of the more prestigious and popular wedding venues over the coming months. Please bear in mind that I’m not commenting on the hotel rooms, the food or the service…it’s purely based upon how the function suites are conducive to a good party atmosphere.…
