Surround Sounds - What Makes A Mobile DJ

What Makes A Mobile DJ?

I am sure prospective clients that have never booked a Mobile Disco before would love to know the answer to this question. Its quite simple, experience and the resources to offer you a worry free entertainment package.

The Mobile Disco industry is quite a lure for young people and opportunist who see it as a way of making some easy money. As a consequence you have many Mobile Disco’s that start and fold in the first year as they quickly find out that it is not as easy as they thought it was.

The skill required to read the mood of a dance floor and adapt to keep it full comes with experience and certainly not something you can learn overnight. Our music collection starts from the 1940’s right through to upfront releases from The Ministry of Sound and we are skilled across all decades and genres.

Marquee Events

We cover in excess of 200 gigs a year of which most take in the wedding sector and the balance being made up of assorted events from party nights to presentations. When you book Surround Sounds you get Surround Sounds and if you book early enough you can even specify a preferred DJ.

We are approachable, flexible with a wealth of collective experience to ensure that your event is managed in an efficient and professional manner.

Our equipment is of the highest caliber and we can manage events of any size indoor or outdoor with qualified engineers.


Playlists & Requests

Requests and "Must Plays" are always welcome and we will always work them in during an appropriate slot. Playlists are a different kettle of fish and we no longer adhere to very specific lists as in our considerable experience this is a recipe for disaster. By this we mean if you hand us a list of tracks to cover the whole of your event and want them played in a specific order then DO NOT BOOK US as it is our skill that makes your event.

If you are passionate about your music and want us to pick from a list this is reasonable compromise. This will give us the flexibility to manage your event in a professional coherent manner. If this is your chosen path then a good rule of thumb is approximately twenty tracks per hour averaged across the decades or fifteen tracks an hour for more recent releases.  In general we find that most people furnish us with a list of twenty or so must plays and leave it to our discretion how and when we fit them in.

There are a number of ways in which your guests can make requests but we have found the most popular is by email. We offer a free wedding service where you can have the bride and grooms Christian names separated by a dot at wedding-dj.co.uk. Any emails sent to that address are automatically sorted into a dedicated folder for your event with a copy being sent to you ensuring you are happy with the request.

Click here for our current music archive, please note this is a big page and will take a few moments to load. The archive page is updated quarterly and we always carry the latest releases so if you can’t find what you are looking for simply let us know and we will do our best to source the track for you.

Our offices are manned full time Monday – Thursday during normal office hours with phones being diverted to mobiles out of hours. Correspondence is answered promptly and efficiently with all our bookings being confirmed in writing and covered contractually for your peace of mind.

Our pricing structure is not a random figure but is based on duration, mileage, venue access and number of heads attending. There are also other considerations such as early installations or full cover packages and these quoted for on an individual basis.

We run multiple rigs and there is no compromise between any of the rigs, they are all equipped to the same high standard and tested in accordance with the current health and safety policies. Our equipment is flight cased and well looked after; the slightest signs of wear and tear will automatically trigger a replacement unit with the offending item destined for the second user market.

All our vehicles are well maintained and carry the latest in satellite navigation to ensure we get to your event on time.
