Just had an enquiry from someone for a party and they said "I just don’t want a Peter Kay style Dj lol"
Thought Peter Kay was a comedian? Guess they mean Ray-Von!
I think every mobile DJ is a bit Ray-Von no matter how cool they try to be?
But on the other hand, the local DJ near me runs around with a plastic tongue and a fake hand etc so I know what she means - the type of guy that doesn't shut up all night.

Even though I love my dance music and would love to be able to beat match like the best of them I don't confess to being Tiesto, Pete Tong or Judge Jules etc. lol Its the job of the DJ to read the room and play to the crowd. On some occasions yes it does require a DJ to be a bit more cheesy to get the party atmosphere going. While banging out trance classics not so much!
Also for me the vibe of the party can change throught the night. For example "Mini Disco" at the start of the night if kids are running about, doesn't mean I won't be mashing up the top 40 along with some dance anthems later and the person I portray can change over the night too.
It all depends what whoever's paying wants...

Then again some people don't care. Some just want music and some disco lights.
Quite often the first and only question I get asked is "how much do you charge" (Makes me laugh too when they don't say where or when either).
