I’m now a proud advertiser on NYspeed, so it’s only right I make a thread to advertise my DJing services many of you know of (and may have seen).
In the last few months I’ve been playing out at a handful of house parties and private events, and I feel that even though we’re all here to discuss cars, a lot of you do throw parties and have special occasions. So, I’m giving this a shot here and offering you all a discount on my usual rates, along with some information about myself for those who didn’t know.
General Information: I consider myself a hip-hop based club-style DJ, however I do play a lot of other genres in-between including baltimore club, reggae, disco, electro/freestyle, classic house, 80s, indie rock, top40, and more I can’t even list of classify. Essentially anything that will get the job done where I find myself playing.
DJ Equipment:
- Two Technics 1210 M5G turntables
- Pioneer 707 Mixer
- Serato Scratch Live
…and a lot more goodies. So yes, I essentially spin vinyl.
Sound Equipment:
I am capable of playing pretty much anywhere with the PA equipment I’ve gathered over the times. My PA systems are…
- Two JBL JRX125 Dual 15" Cabinets
- Two Yamaha 15" Cabinets
- Five Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre Cabinets, 4 oem 1 JBL replacement (audio geeks know what this is about)
- Smaller set-ups for house parties
- and a slew of Crown amps to back it up
Rates: Rates are determined by a few various things, so I will just post a few typical examples for most of those looking to get an idea of how much it will cost. The three main factors are type of event (and equipment I’ll need to use for a PA), amount of people, and time playing.
House parties usually start at 100 dollars for a 3 hour set at your average sized party (40-80 people). Since I promised you a discount, I’ll knock 20 percent off anyone referred from here making it 80 dollars to have me from 11pm-2am or whenever your heart desires ;o.
Booking Information:
- Please try and book as far in advance as possible. 1 month in advance is perfect, however believe it or not, I am starting to line stuff up for June and even as late as August now. So if you know, let me know.
- Should you need me in a hurry and the event is in under a week, I will gladly do it if I can work it out schedule-wise. However there is a 10 percent “late registration” fee (no kanye west pun, please) since I will need to prepare last minute.
- Cancellations must occur 48 hours prior to the event. There is a 20 percent cancellation fee for those that can’t meet that. I really hate packing all my equipment and then having to unpack it again because your neighbor is giving you wierd looks when 2 cars are in the driveway
