the music - some of the recommended styles for parties and weddings - other contemporary and specialist styles available on request
Scroll down through the styles of music we can play at your party. We can combine styles and include other types of music if you wish. You can listen to samples of tracks by clicking on the record next to each category. The samples last about 5 minutes and include several different tracks in this style. We have generally selected lesser known tracks as you may well be familiar with the more popular titles. Of course we can make our set as popular or eclectic as you wish. If you are not sure ask us - we are here to help.
We are adding mixes on the DJs page. Look for the white links, right click & select "save target as" to download.
