DJ in Cornwall

My ballet career is over

So, I've been a bit quiet over the last few weeks...

I've not written a blog for quite a few weeks, (well, more than a few weeks) unfortunately at the start of February I fell down the stairs carrying the laundry and broke my patella tendon (I wish the story was more exciting than that).

Emergency surgery and lots of physio later and I am now on the road to recovery, but I've got a few more weeks until I can walk properly, and several months before I can break out the 'dad dancing' (that's not a bad thing).

Good news is, I can get to gigs, although I do need a driver as the bend in my knee isn't enough (yet).

So, enough about me, let's talk music and there is one song that is filling the floor at the moment and it's this from Beyoncé and Texas Hold 'EM.

A detour from her usual sound, but wow, she smashes it and has produced this biggest ear worm of 2024, so far!

So that's my BIG tune for now, but what about last year, what were we playing?

I can reveal the top five most requested songs of 2023 were:

1 Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

2 ABBA Dancing Queen

3 The Killers Mr. Brightside

4 Earth, Wind and Fire September

5 Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline

So the old classics were a hit, but what would be on your playlist?

Oooooh, we like this...

We said a few weeks ago that we would bring you a new tune every week, well, we broke that new year resolution last week (oops).

We actually had a weekend off and we decided to completely down tools, which was lush, but now we are back at it and raring to go with another (Smashy and Nicey voice) another poptastic belter. (Please tell us you remember Smashy and Nicey?)

Pop music is like a chameleon, constantly evolving to fit the tastes and trends of each generation.

What's popular today may be old news tomorrow.

But, sometimes familiarity can be a good thing, and that's why we've chosen this tune from Ava Max and Kygo as our 'BIG' new music floor filler for this week.

It has the perfect combination of vocals, uplifting melodies and a little hint of Shakira, which we love (those hips don't lie).

Check it out...

We told you, it's catchy.

And because we missed last week, here's another floor filler, although this is more of an ear worm that really grows on you. (sorry, not sorry).

Izzy Bizu brings you a catchy vocal, which will stick in your brain (trust us), with the beats and production done by David Guetta and Kungs.

Let us know what you think to this...

That's it for this week, although we had to dig out this video clip from the archives to point out who Smahsy and Nicey are!

Have a great weekend "Great Mate"....

Why Choosing the Right DJ for Your Wedding is Essential:

Your wedding day is one of the most significant and memorable days of your life.

Every detail counts, from the flowers to the food, but one element that truly sets the tone for your celebration - the music .

That's where the expertise of a professional wedding DJ comes in!

The Art of Reading the Dance Floor:

We have spent years mastering the art of reading the dance floor, which is crucial because it allows us to connect with the audience, understand their vibe, and take them on a musical journey.

We believe the right DJ doesn't just play songs; they create an experience that reflects your personality and keeps your guests engaged throughout the night.

Creating the Perfect Atmosphere:

The atmosphere at your wedding is heavily influenced by the music. Our skilled team knows how to seamlessly transition from the romantic, intimate moments of your first dance to the high-energy tunes that get everyone on the dance floor.

It's not just about playing music; it's about creating unforgettable moments.

Personalization is Key:

Every couple is unique, and their music should reflect this. And we pride ourselves on working closely with couples to personalize the playlist, which includes a list of likes and dislikes.

Experience Matters:

When it comes to something as important as your wedding day, experience matters and we bring years of experience to your special day, ensuring that the music is one less thing you have to worry about.

This experience means we're prepared for any situation, whether it's a last-minute change in the schedule or a special song request.

"We believe your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and the music should be nothing short of spectacular."

This weeks been a big week for music, already...

2024 has kicked off with some massive songs...

Is it too late to say 'Happy New Year'?

The first full week of 2024 has seen some massive new releases hit the chart (already), some of which we think will be huge and be filling floors all year.

You have a combination of the familiarity of some nostalgic undertones in some releases, and others with a brand new vibe for 2024.

So, where do we begin?

Well, glad you asked; our first huge tune of 2024 is this one from Mattilo and 'Set Me Free'. It has an uplifting and slightly haunting vocal with a stunning bass drop, which will get people on the floor, check it out:

This next one is from Ella Henderson and Rudimental and is called Alibi. This song takes a sample from Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise and it was only released yesterday (Friday 12th of January) and we reckon this is will be a huge ear worm for 2024.

More to come next week, but for now enjoy these new tunes...

FIRST blog post

Welcome to one of the first DJ in Cornwall blog posts!!

Album review - Now 109!

A staple diet for any mobile DJ and pop fan; the latest in the Now albums offers 48 of the latest chart hits.

Unlike some of it's predecessors, Now 109 has more killer than filler, which means there are some great songs on this album!

There are two discs of chart-topping hits including Olivia Rodrigo’s good 4 u, Lil Nas X’s MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name), Justin Bieber, Daniel Caesar & Giveon’s Peaches and many more!

NOW 109 is a great soundtrack to Summer 2021.
