DJ in Hilversum & the surrounding area

DJ Hilversum for weddings, corporate parties and birthday parties

Hilversum is about half an hour's drive from Amersfoort. The town has a pronounced character of its own: plenty of studio and office buildings, large villas along the edge of the woods and bars and restaurants in the centre. That produces party venues that were never built as function rooms, and that calls for a little more homework from me beforehand.

What goes wrong at a party in Hilversum, and how I handle it

Most evenings do not come unstuck on the music, but on the preparation. These are the four things that go wrong most often, and what I do about them.

The problem
The party is cut off just as it peaks

How I solve it
The curfew at the venue is fixed in advance and shapes how I build the evening. I time the peak to it, so the evening ends on a high rather than being stopped.
The problem
The music does not suit the company

How I solve it
In advance you send me a playlist, your preferred music styles and the tracks you definitely do not want to hear. I also ask what kind of crowd you are expecting. Within those limits, I read the room as the evening goes.
The problem
The DJ turns up only a quarter of an hour before the start

How I solve it
I set up at least 1.5 hours before the start, with a soundcheck and lighting check before the first guest arrives. That is set down in the booking confirmation.
The problem
There are three suppliers and nobody has the reins

How I solve it
From the first email to the packing away you have one point of contact: me. I agree the running order with the venue, the caterer and the master of ceremonies.

Why do people in Hilversum book me?

No empty promises, but arrangements that are set out in the booking confirmation and can therefore be held to.

Fixed price confirmed in advance

I confirm the date, times, venue, what I supply and the amount in advance in the booking confirmation, together with the payment arrangement. No costs are added that are not in it, and you never get a “from” price.

One point of contact

From the first email to clearing up afterwards, you deal with me. Coordination with the venue and the caterer also runs through me.

Setting up well in advance

I set up at least 1.5 hours before the start, with a soundcheck and lighting check before the first guest arrives. No quick hook-up once the party is already under way.

Your music, your limits

Your playlist and a list of tracks you definitely do not want to hear. I take that second list just as seriously as the first.

Within a radius of 40 km around Amersfoort

I like working locally: it lets me build a better connection, and I know the area well.

Neatly cleared away

After the party I take everything down myself, usually within about 45 minutes, so that I leave the room tidy.

Parties in Hilversum

At a venue that is not a function room, such as an office, a studio or a warehouse, the power supply is the first thing I check. A separate circuit for the sound stops the evening dying at the moment the kitchen kicks in as well. Only then do I look at the acoustics: hard floors and a lot of glass call for a set-up that does not shout at the walls.

Where I play in Hilversum

Corporate parties in Hilversum are often held in the company's own building or in a hired studio space; weddings more often in a restaurant, a hotel or a garden on the edge of the woods. Both types have their own house rules on finishing times, noise and loading in. I ask for those beforehand, so the running order already fits them.

Access and set-up

The drive via the A27 and the A1 takes me roughly half an hour. In the centre of Hilversum some streets have restricted access hours and paid parking; I arrange loading in with the venue in advance.

What I pay extra attention to in Hilversum

Corporate parties in Hilversum often have a programme before the dancing: a word from the management, an award, a kick-off. Those moments determine how the evening runs. A microphone that works, background music quiet enough to talk over and one clear moment at which the party begins: I go through all of it with you to the minute.

Villages and districts within reach

Within and around Hilversum I play in Hilversum, Kerkelanden and Hilversumse Meent, among other places. All these villages are within my service area, on the same terms and with a fixed price in advance.

Who is behind the decks

I'm DJ Paul and I play under the name Sun Groove Music from Amersfoort. I play at parties, weddings and corporate parties, and in clubs, including in Hilversum, within a radius of 40 km around Amersfoort.

The Sun Groove Music sound sits where a relaxed lounge vibe flows into an energetic dance floor. I often call it Ibiza magic on home soil: deep, warm basslines with captivating melodies. My monthly mixes have more than 30,000 listeners worldwide. I used to release them as Suluap Music. Listen to my mixes on SoundCloud.

Name: DJ Paul, Sun Groove Music
Based in: Amersfoort, service area 40 km
Parties: Party, wedding, corporate and club, 50 to 200 guests
Music: House, Disco, Trance and Latin, current music and the 80s, 90s and 00s

A good evening does not come from a fixed playlist. It comes from reading the room: seeing who is there, hearing where the energy is and daring to switch when the floor asks for something other than what was on the list. Sometimes that means leaving out a track I love myself, because it does not work at that moment.

The other half of my work is less visible: talking to the venue about power, noise limits and the finishing time, a running order that fits the speeches and dinner, and a set-up that suits the room. On the night itself that saves exactly the half hour in which things otherwise go wrong.
