Questions about reviews and experiences
What time do you arrive to set up?
Depending on the nature of the party, I set up at least 1.5 hours before the start and do a soundcheck and lighting check, so everything is ready before your guests arrive. If the venue only becomes available later, I schedule that with them in advance. I take everything down myself afterwards, usually within about 45 minutes.
How late can the music go on?
That is decided by the venue or the municipal licence, not by me. In function rooms 01.00 or 02.00 is usual; for a party in a garden or a marquee the curfew is often earlier. Ask the venue for the finishing time and pass it on to me, and I will match the build of the evening to it.
Can the party also be during the day or early in the evening?
Yes. An afternoon party, a reception or a birthday party starting at 16.00 is perfectly possible. During the day the volume is lower and the lighting is less visible, so I adjust the set-up for that. It also saves on the cost if no lighting rig is needed.
What area do you play in?
I work within a radius of 40 km around Amersfoort: from Het Gooi and Flevoland in the north to the Veluwe in the east and the Kromme Rijn area in the south. I like working locally, because it lets me build a better connection and I know the area well.
How much power is needed?
For an average set-up one free, earthed 16-amp circuit is enough. For a larger room or extra lighting two circuits are preferable. I check this with the venue in advance.
Do you play outdoors or in a marquee?
Yes, provided there is power and my equipment stays dry. At an outdoor venue three things decide it: an earthed circuit within reach, a cover over the set, and the finishing time the municipality or the venue applies. I go through those points with you in advance.
What if the venue has a sound limiter?
That is no problem, but I need to know beforehand. A limiter caps the room at a maximum number of decibels; I match the rig and the build of the evening to it, so the music is not cut off halfway through. Ask your venue and pass it on to me.
How much room does the DJ set-up need?
Allow roughly two metres by two for the table and the speakers, preferably on the dance floor side and near a socket. Where there is less space I can make the set-up more compact; send the dimensions with your enquiry.
What happens if the dance floor stays empty?
Then I change the set. An empty floor is information: the track, the tempo or the moment is wrong. That is why I do not play from a fixed list but from what the room is doing: back to something familiar, the tempo down or up, and build again.
Do you play Dutch-language music as well?
Yes. My foundation is House, Disco, Trance and Latin, combined with contemporary music and with a strong focus on the 80s, 90s and 00s. Dutch-language songs, singalongs and classics fit in well alongside that. What I actually play depends on your guests and on your own list of wishes and no-gos.
Want a night like that too?
Leave your date, venue and type of party. Within one working day I let you know whether the date is free, with a fixed price. No surprises afterwards.
