Rave Fill your Friday. And your Saturday.
A great DJ turns a quiet bar into the place to be. We roster DJs from the collective to your set times each week, brief them on your room, and cover the night if someone's away.

For pubs, bars, clubs and entertainment venues
DJs that keep people at the bar
Weekly residencies and one-off nights across Maitland and the Hunter. Reliable, rostered DJs who turn up on time, fit your room and give your regulars a reason to stay for one more.
Why venues book us
Entertainment you don't have to chase
Rostered, not ad hoc
Your dates are filled from our DJ roster ahead of time. If a DJ can't make it, we cover the night with another one.
Briefed on your room
Every DJ gets your setup location, set times and venue notes before they arrive, so there's no walk-around on the night.
On time, sound-checked
Set up and sound-checked before the first song, with cables taped down and walkways kept clear.
Your sound or ours
We plug straight into your house sub or PA, or bring a full PA and party lights if you don't have one.
Your times, your nights
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Early-evening sets, late sessions, or a DJ to build the vibe before a big event.
One contact
One person to talk to for the whole roster. Lachy looks after your bookings so you can run the venue.
Booking is easy. Tell us your date and we'll come back with availability and a free quote.

Weddings
Wedding DJs in Maitland and the Hunter
Your day. Your songs. A full dance floor.
You've planned every detail. Your DJ should be the easy part. We'll play the songs that matter to you, keep the party moving, and make sure everyone from the flower girl to grandad ends up dancing.
What you get
Everything for the reception
Your first dance, perfectly cued
Send us your first dance, entrance and cake-cutting songs and we'll have them ready on cue.
Must-plays and do-not-plays
Tell us the songs you love and the ones you never want to hear. We stick to it.
Music for every generation
Dinner-time background music, then the classics, the throwbacks and the current hits once the dance floor opens.
Sound and party lights
A full PA and party lights for the reception, or we plug into your venue's system if they have one.
Set up before guests arrive
Your DJ sets up and sound-checks early, so there's no fuss once the celebrations start.
Planned with you
We'll talk through your timeline and the vibe you want, so the night flows the way you pictured it.
Booking is easy. Tell us your date and we'll come back with availability and a free quote.

Music for your crowd

Speeches and cake
We'll pause the music for speeches and have the birthday song ready when the cake comes out.
Anywhere you party
Backyards, sheds, community halls, function rooms and venues across Maitland and the Hunter.
Your requests
Send a list of must-plays and songs to avoid, and we'll build the night around it.
