Yes. Call for details.

It is our duty to shake the planet's booty.

If you can dance to it, we play it.

Yes.

We use some of the same sound equipment the biggest bands in the world have toured with (Metallica, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, etc). If it's good enough for them, its good enough for us. We use top of the line gear. ElectroVoice, DBX, QSC, Technics, Yamaha, Pioneer, etc.

Varies on the show and what you have booked. Lighting can be very basic to extremely sophisticated, similar to what you see at your favorite concert. In fact, we have done lighting for everything from Canadian Idol to Calgary ZooLights. Our head lighting technician toured with Mathew Good for 10 years and designed the Mamma Mia! tour lighting. We also use the same lighting equipment Michael Jackson toured with. No other DJ service in Alberta has the lighting expertise that we do. We can completely transform your venue. The proof is in the pudding so take a look at our PIX! [click].

You hate empty dance floors as much as we do.

If you book 3 or more events per year, that is an automatic 10% off. If you are on our mailing list, you will be notified via email of price specials.

Ya gotta call us or submit for a quote. Every client/event is different.

No. In our humble opinion, real DJs don't use laptops. Why? The sound quality is questionable and laptops freeze up randomly. Neither of which we find acceptable and nor should you.

Yes. We have all the latest videos. We have all sorts of video equipment: projectors, screens, video mixers, etc.

1. Awesome planning
2. Booked an amazing DJ
3. Professional marketing campaign
4. Cool poster with our name on it
5. Consistency
6. Democratically voted on music

KINDA/SORTA!

We call them suggestions. Our DJs often receive over 100 suggestions per event. We can only play about 15 songs/hr so we typically choose the best suggestions to get the maximum students dancing. Of course we ignore songs with bad language to keep parents/teachers happy, etc.

Sir Tom Jones, Calgary Police Service, McDonald's Restaurants, Sunshine Village, Calgary ZooLights, The City Of Airdrie, Tommy Lee, Canadian Idol, etc.

Prizes are a strange thing. Prizes don't sell more dance tickets unless you are giving away something serious like a big screen TV. About 25 years ago, some DJ companies started giving away cheesy prizes like key chains, pop and chocolate bars (healthy eh?) so dance committees would think they were getting a good deal. If you hire a real professional DJ and you properly advertise the event, prizes are not a selling factor. Its fun to have a draw and give away 3-5 prizes, but that is it. Any more than 5 prizes and it interupts the DJs flow and detracts from the event.

We've done lots of sold out dances without one single prize offered.

Yes! We have been doing black light /UV parties since 1995.

We have over 30 000 watts of bass available. The max we can bring to a school without getting neighbor complaints is approx 6000-9000 watts of bass.

Note that not all bass bins are created equal. Just as some cars give you more KM/Litre, certain bass speakers give you considerably more bass per watt. So 6000 watts from us, could be equal to 12000 watts from somewhere else. If you like bass music/dubstep/etc. this can make a huge difference. Call for further technical specs.

We offer free training in lieu of paid courses. If we think you could have 'the right stuff', we will take you out on between 4-6 events for evaluation/try-outs. After this evaluation period is over, we will determine if we are prepared to offer you work. You get to learn from real DJs and crews in action. Its the only way.

Intelligent lighting is used extensively on concerts and in major nightclubs. In short, it is lighting fixtures that take instructions from a computer-like controller. In this case, Intelligent really means 'good at following instructions'. Different light fixtures have different features so an 'intelligent light show' really means nothing until you get down to the nuts and bolts of it. Lets just say if it doesn't arrive in a cube truck, it "prolly ain't nothing to write home about." Our intelligent lighting has been used on major artist's tours.

Just about the most coolest light f/x you could get at your event. Everyone from Michael Jackson to Rush has used these lights on major tours. Should rock your event, eh! Yes they cost extra, but you're worth it, right? Read up on them [Link].

If you think you might have to cancel, please call us for help before you start selling tickets. We have done 1000s of school dances and we know how to overcome this.

We require 15 business days notice. Call for details. Professional DJs need as much fair notice as possible so they can make alternate plans for work. 3-4 weeks is generally the very minimum.

Yes. As you can imagine, our weddings are lots of fun and you should be too if you are considering hiring us. We dress nice and everything. You can expect tasteful, elegant and hella fun!

For typical weddings, we recommend you contact: Phoenix Wedding DJ Services [click!]

Yes. You get to hear your favorite dance tracks.

School Dances are our specialty. We know what makes a successful event. Give us a call we can 'prolly help.

There are several criteria we suggest using when shopping for DJs. Some points to consider:

• References?
• Years in business?
• # of events completed?
• Submit advance music suggestions?
• Brands and models of equipment?
• Using the same equipment as major recording acts?
• Real DJs using CDs (not ipods and laptops)?
• Experience and training of the actual crew on your event?
