FAQ 

How long have you been in business?

We have been in the DJ business about 5 years.

 

How much music do you have?

We currently have about 7,800 tracks.  We add music every week.

 

Do you have a variety of music?

Absolutely!  We have great music in all genres.  For example: Hip Hop,

R & B, Pop, Rock, Disco, Euro, Country, Jazz, and more.

 

How do you know what songs you have?

We have a cataloging system that enables us to search for a particular title, artist, or genre.  This system is available to us in paper and digital formats.

 

What kind of sound system do you have?

We have a state-of-the-art DJ sound system which includes several digital and dynamic sound processors.  The sound is incredible!  We use a high-powered 1800 watt amplifier and a 2400 watt amplifier for an 18" subwoofer, so we can provide the right volume of music at your event.

 

Do you use iPods?

No, we only use CDs and a professional dual CD deck.

 

Are you prices reasonable?

Yes, and our prices are posted right on our website.  There are no hidden costs.  The only additional cost items are: overtime if requested at the event, excess mileage to/from the event and a more elaborate lighting package.

 

Why should we hire you to DJ our event?

We are highly motivated, have a great sounding system and a music library that is continuously growing.  Why not give us a try?  We are dedicated to providing you with the best-sounding music possible.

 
Will you take requests at our event?

Yes, in general we will write down all requests and incorporate them into the playlist at the right time.  If we don’t have the song, we will be sure to get it by our next event.  This way, our music library is constantly growing with requested songs.

 

Do you do karaoke?

Unfortunately, no.  This is something we may provide in the future.

 

What do you wear at events?  Are you casually dressed?

We always dress appropriately for every event.  For wedding receptions, we will dress more formally.  At no times will we be dressed in jeans and tee shirts!

 

How do you keep people dancing?

Our music library is extensive and we categorize every song by genre.  Our music knowledge includes very popular songs which are guaranteed to pump-up the event!  In addition, our sound system is second-to-none!

 

Do you do lightshows?

Yes, we provide a basic lighting package which includes 4 par cans at every event.  For a nominal extra fee, we will include 4 more par cans and special-effects lights.

 

When will you arrive at our event?

Generally, 1 to 2 hours prior to the event, depending on the required setup.  Your event always will start on time.

 

Do you have a contract?

Yes, we have a contract which clearly states our policies.  There is nothing hidden.

 

Do you have insurance?

When it is required by the venue, we are protected by a $1,000,000 DJ liability policy.

 

Where do you get your music?  Are you legal?

Yes, all our music comes from 100% legal sources.   Examples are Napster, purchased CDs from music stores and individuals, professional DJ music subscription services and other legal sources.

 

How much notice will you need to DJ our event?

That depends on the type of event.  A wedding reception will involve more planning.  Otherwise, for most other events, less notice is needed.

 

Can we meet with you before our event?

Yes, by all means.  This is especially important for wedding receptions where all the details need to be worked out.

 

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, to reserve a date, a $100 deposit is required.

 

Do you use a fog machine?

Yes, upon request.  Some venues prohibit them because they will set off their fire alarms so check with your venue to see if fog is permitted.

 

Do you have a backup DJ for our event?

Yes, we have two DJs available at all times.  If one cannot perform at your event, the other one will.

 

Do you have backup equipment?

Yes, all of our music is backed up on an external hard drive. We also bring 2 amplifiers to every event.

 

How soon can you confirm your availability for our event?

Usually, the same day.  You can contact us by email or can send us an online request.  We will follow-up with pricing and availability and mail out a contract.  You will sign it and return it to us along with your deposit.  It’s that easy!
