It’s a nice quiet Sunday evening, so time for a quick update on the blog…. Had a wonderful time last night in the Orsett Hall’s Gold Room suite, made all the more special by sharing the gig with another of Orsett Hall’s resident DJs, Big Russ. A really successful night, dancefloor was pretty much full…
We’ve been asked to spread the word on an up-and-coming documentary on newly-wed couples and their first year together as husband and wife. So….if you fancy opening up to the cameras for your first year of marital bliss, then check out the ad below!
Can’t wait! Following on from the success of the first Step On It night earlier this year, we’re back with some more bouncing anthems and club bangers! Just the one room this time, featuring club anthems from 1988 to 2012, encompassing house music, garage, trance, big beat and funky house. £5 in advance, tickets available…
We are very proud to report that we are now the official resident DJ suppliers to the Orsett Hall Hotel in Essex.

Fancy a night of pure clubbing joy? Two floors of anthems? Classy venue? Look no further….this Friday night (13th April) we’re putting on a night of pure classics – upstairs in the vast Pavilion room will be old skool garage and down below in the swish Jaguar Bar I’ll be playing dancefloor bangers from 1988…
On Tuesday, we spent the most wonderful day in the company of Paul & Lisa, at Westside Studio in North Benfleet. Taking a wonderful wedding vocalist along for her first ever photoshoot, there were obviously signs of nerves but right from the start Paul put her at ease with his laid-back and professional manner. He took time…
To all the fabulous couples who’ve let us share their biggest day in 2011, to all the contestants of our many quiz nights, to all the people who’ve partied hard at our functions and to the wonderful venue staff who’ve helped us along the way (you know who you are!) we wish you the best…
I was reminded of two very important things recently in connection with our business of mobile DJing…. First one was all to do with perception. I paid a passing visit to a DJ with whom I was playing at the same venue on the same night, albeit in different function suites. I’d previously seen this…
Covering the hundreds of weddings per year that we do, it’s still surprising to me that the choices for the traditional First Dance hardly vary at all despite the wealth of music available. Listed below are our Top 5 most requested First Dances from the last five years: I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing –…
As part of our wedding reception venue reviews, we come to an old favourite of ours, The Lawn in Rochford, Essex. Considering the size of the building, the room in which the DJ sets up system is remarkably small. Best to utilise your smallest sound system and no need for dozens of lights. Access is…
If you live in the Essex area and you’re currently looking for a wedding or function DJ, why not drop in and see us at The Manor Hotel, Berwick Pond Road, Rainham on Tuesday 23rd August from 4pm. We’ll have a full rig laid out to impress and we’ll be on hand to discuss all aspects…

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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
