What if I can’t decide on the music or the equipment I need?
No problem at all—DJ Douglas has you covered. After a chat about your event, he’ll help you shape a playlist that fits the atmosphere you’re aiming for, even if you’re not sure where to begin. With years of experience reading crowds and curating the perfect flow, he can recommend a blend of contemporary favourites, timeless classics, and genre-specific gems that match your style.
Whether you’re into disco grooves, club anthems, RnB, 80s pop, rock, soul, or chart-toppers, Douglas will build a soundtrack that keeps the energy high and the dancefloor full. And you’ll always have final say—your event, your vibe.
He’ll also guide you through equipment choices, recommending the right combination of speakers, lighting, uplights, disco effects, festoon or string lights, and even projectors or screens if needed. Whatever the space or mood, DJ Douglas will help you create the perfect setup.
Who do you work with?
Depending on the size of the gig, I normally set up and DJ alone.
For large gigs, I have a network of technicians, musicians, drivers and project managers who I regularly work with.
How / When do we pay you?
A deposit payment is required on signing of our contract.
Final payment must be made before the event starts
Any additional costs (e.g., extra playtime) must be made within 7 days of the event.
What do we need to provide during the gig?
You will just need to provide the space, power outlets, and party people!
