BOOKINGS & INFO
Offering excellent quality and service to all my clients is my absolute priority!
My DJ service can be booked for Day & Night locations and occasions.
I absolutely LOVE DJ'ing for fashion events/shows/boutiques, launch events, interesting or luxury brands in all fields, and special or beautiful locations.
I also DJ for various business events, private events, weddings and quality restaurants/bars/hotels,
I DJ for big international companies/events as well for small local companies/events.
I’m based in Amsterdam, and I can also be booked abroad.
MUSIC STYLES
I love the variety in music, and having a broad music view, so I love playing for a wide varied audience,
as well for a more specific exclusive audience.
The styles I play mostly are House, Lounge, Nu-Disco, Classic House, Disco-House, Afro House, Deep House, Deep Lounge, Tech House, Techno
Disco & House Remixes from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 10's and on request the best Disco/Pop/R&B/House hits of the 80's/90's/00's/10's.
We will communicate clearly in advance what your music wishes are and which music suits with your event
I will also tell you if I think that I'm not the right match for your event.
SPECIALITY
One of my specialities is DJ'ing entertaining stylish music with an entertaining positive uplifting vibe,
including recognisable remixes, which are very suited for a wide varied audience with various ages
(or if you wish for a more specific audience).
This music has a high quality warm modern sound.
You can listen to various playlists at this page of my website:

It is also one of my specialities to DJ music for events where guests still need to be able to communicate well,
I will select music with an open sound, what gives room/space for people to talk.
COMMUNICATION
You can feel very free to ask for the possibilities and to discuss your wishes.
I only accept booking requests that suit me and that are the right match for both you and me!
I’ll be at your service to answer your questions, so don’t hesitate to contact me to find out if we both think your event and I are the right match!
EQUIPMENT
My DJ controller:
If required, for most events' I'll be able to bring/install my basic DJ controller: Pioneer XDJ-XZ
I will always ask from you to arrange a table or DJ booth to place my DJ Controller on.
(Unless I will hire a company to deliver and install all equipment that you need)
My Basic portable speakers:
My own 'portable' basic speakers are only suited for small events, like small shops.
Bringing and installing my speakers often requires much communication (and organisation) between me and you (or the location)
so please realize that this takes time and effort for you and me!!
I would also like to inform you that besides it often required much organization for me, it is also really heavy work for me as a woman,
so I always very much prefer that I don't need to bring and install my equipment, and that you will be able to organise this.
Though for events, where I really like to DJ for I, I'll be more than happy to do this effort :)
Here below is a picture of these portable speakers:
Bringing and installing these speakers takes much effort for me as a woman, because this all together is heavy.
Therefore I can only bring my equipment if I can deliver this right in front of the event location
Because it's too heavy for me to also carry a DJ booth, my clients will always need to arrange a DJ Booth or table.
Professional speakers:
Now, 2024, I'm in the process of selecting a few reliable providers for Speakers/DJ players/DJ Booth,
which my clients can contact directly, and arrange everything with.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
So far I've never needed to cancel a booking in my more than 10 year DJ Career.
If in the extremely rare case I would really need to cancel,
I will do my very best to find a DJ who is a match to your event, to replace me.
I have a network around me with DJs who expressed being interested to DJ for me.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't use 'substances' and I'm vegetarian.

TECHNICAL RIDER
If I don't need to bring my own equipment to your event then these are my requirements:
DJ CONTROLLER OPTION 1:
2 x (or 3 x) Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 (or Pioneer CDJ-3000)
&
1x Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 mixer (or optionally another one, which I will need to approve)
(If other Pioneer DJ Equipment is at the location, then that might be in some occasions an option too)
* Please be aware that previous version of the Pioneer DJ Equipment, with almost the same name like:
Pioneer CDJ-2000NEXUS is NOT approved by me, unless I have clearly agreed.
All equipment must be professionally connected and fully functional. (CDJ's must be LINKED)
DJ CONTROLLER OPTION 2:
Pioneer XDJ-XZ
(This controller is only an option for small events. I can only agree on this after clear communication and my approval.)
SPEAKERS:
Good/reasonable main speakers.
&
Booth monitor speakers are for larger events required. For small events these are mostly not required
DJ BOOTH:
DJ booth/table must be between 0.9 meter and 1.1 meter high and at least 1 meter wide, and at least 60 centimeters deep
(unless agreed otherwise before the booking is accepted),
These are standaard sizes, so this should be possible in most cases.
If I made clear I need the DJ equipment; 3 x Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 (or Pioneer CDJ-3000),
then a more wide DJ Booth is needed, to make sure it all fits.
SAFETY:
All equipment must be professionally connected and fully functional.
I require a safe environment in every possible way, for myself, everyone, and my equipment .
