Booking Conditions and Venue Requirements

• The following form part of your booking conditions:
• We require a minimum of 2, but preferably 3 UK 3-Pin power sockets to connect our equipment at your venue. These must be hardwired to a building ring main and must not be extension sockets. They must be protected by suitable MCB breakers. In total we require 5-6kW of power capacity (approximately 20-25 Amps) therefore if a 30 Amp circuit there should be minimal other devices utilising it and preferably it should be reserved for our use.
• The power sockets provided must not be more than 15 metres in cable distance from the location at which our equipment is required to be placed.
• On arrival we will connect a socket tester to each of the sockets designated for our use. We can only operate if it indicates that the socket is working correctly, and correctly wired, else we cannot connect our equipment.
• We’ll require enough space in which to park our car and attached trailer close to the door when we arrive for loading and unloading, and whilst we are performing at your venue, of approximately 2 car lengths of space.
• We use lighting with automatic flashing and stroboscopic sequences in our performances. It is not possible to predict in advance or adjust these sequences and therefore you must warn any guests or venue staff of this in advance and this would be your responsibility. We will not accept any liability in relation to the services provided utilising a sound and lighting performance, however caused.
• We use a smoke machine in our performances to enhance the lighting display and atmosphere. It is non-toxic and does not leave a residue. If this is not permitted by your venue please warn us in advance. We will not accept any liability in relation to the use of a smoke machine in our services.
• All conditions and exclusions in the Exceptional Circumstances section of this page apply to this or any booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I meet with you before or after placing my booking?

Of course, we’d be happy to visit you to discuss your event and to answer any questions that you might have.

Can I request a playlist of my favourite songs?

Absolutely. You know what tracks you and your crowd like and that really helps to give us a steer on the type of event. Trigger records or family favourites are welcome and help to get the atmosphere going. Likewise as are any “don’t plays” the last thing we’d want to do is revoke a bad memory. We’d suggest still allowing your DJ the freedom to work your event and judge the crowd and slipstream your playlist in throughout the event, often a list of anywhere between 5-20 tracks works best for this. You should send this to us at least 3 months before your event.

Can you take requests on the night?

We certainly can and would welcome them from your crowd. We can’t promise we have every track or artist, but we’ll certainly take requests into consideration, and judge with the mood as we use our instinct to read the room.

How much time before and after the event do you need to set up and take down?

It’s quite a big setup. We aim to arrive approximately 90 minutes beforehand to set up and you would need to provide access at that time. It takes about the same to take down at the end of your event.

My event is upstairs, is that ok?

If your event is not on a ground floor and level with the car park or loading area we can access please let us know when completing our contact form with your booking requirements, and likewise if a lift is available to the floor of your event. We can usually accept most bookings but our equipment is heavy and we may need to schedule additional resource if there is no lift available and we can’t access on a floor level from our vehicle.

Do you require car parking?

Yes please, it’s essential as described in the Booking Conditions and Venue Requirements above.

Do you carry power extension leads?

Yes, we have power leads of 15 metres and this is the maximum cable distance that our equipment can be placed from the 2-3 UK 3-Pin power sockets that we require to be provided. They are heavy duty and cannot be extended further due to their current carrying requirements.

Can you run from a generator or on generator sourced power?

Our equipment has highly sensitive electronics. We may be able to run from sources other than the UK mains supply, however we cannot guarantee this, therefore please discuss this with us when making your booking. We have high power/current requirements and therefore would need to discuss this with your event or power provider. In any case, the power supply must be as clean as would be expected from the UK mains supply.

Can you provide outdoor events, or set up in a marquee or in a garden?

Our equipment is designed for indoor use. We may be able to use it in another location but only with a guarantee that a totally water and weatherproof environment could be provided, due to the use of electronic equipment. We would need to discuss the details of this with you or your event provider before accepting your booking.

My venue has a sound limter device, is that ok?

We can accept bookings for venue’s with a sound limiter, although we would generally advise our clients against it. In our experience they are often set at extremely low decibel levels, particularly in heavily residential areas, and bass notes are perceived by their microphone as loud. The solution being to lower the volume or alter the sound output to disproportionately lower bass frequencies in search of volume – this of course results in terrible quality sound and often still results in low playing levels that make it difficult to create an atmosphere at your event. That doesn’t mean our sound needs to be exceptionally loud by any means, but we have run at events where the client or their crowd has commented that we are far too quiet with a sound limited system in place. They often accomodate a traffic light system and if a note (or crowd noise!) enters the red operates a rather crude isolation of all power to the DJ area – this on/off process isn’t good for our equipment and provides an interruption to your event. If you can avoid venue’s with them, our advice is to do so.
