How far do you travel?
Based in La Clusaz, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the Geneva area are my
everyday playgrounds. Beyond that, I gladly go further: Lyon, Paris, Bordeaux, the
South, Brittany, and so on. With a preference for the road or the train rather than
flying. Depending on the distance and the logistics, the equipment travels with me,
or the technical side is handled on site by an outside provider, whom I coordinate
from A to Z once you have approved the quote.
What isn't included in the estimate?
The estimate covers the performance and the travel, already priced from your
postcode. Accommodation and meals stay outside it: depending on the distance and the
finish time, a meal on site and a night at a hotel are sometimes needed. Both are
settled with you in the final quote, no surprises on the day. The amounts shown are
the rates for private clients, VAT included. For a company or a public body, the
quote is issued excluding VAT.
Is the equipment provided?
Yes. Sound system, dancefloor lighting and DJ desk are included in every package,
sized to the room and the number of guests. If the venue has particular constraints,
a decibel limiter, a generator, a tricky access, we talk it through beforehand and
adapt.
Can we choose the music?
That is the very starting point. You give me your must-plays, your reference vibes,
and above all your no-go list: the tracks you never want to hear under any
circumstances. The rest is decided by reading the room, because a dancefloor is not
run from a spreadsheet.
Do you play everything?
Almost, and it is more honest to say so up front. My ground is the groove: funk,
disco, nu-disco, house, hip hop, and the classics that bring everyone together, from
the sixties to today's releases. Recent French rap, on the other hand, is not my
thing. If it is the heart of your night, I am not the right DJ, and I would rather
point you to someone whose lane it is.
How and when do we book?
We talk first, to check the date is free and that we click. Then we finalise the
quote together to make sure it fits your wishes and your needs as closely as possible.
A contract follows, along with a 30% deposit that secures the date.
Is it worth having a performer play all night?
We often picture live musicians only for the cocktail hour. The artists I work with
are all able to improvise live and bring life to the party; they add just as much to
your cocktail hour as to the dancing. They can also accompany a civil ceremony. We
talk it through beforehand and plan it out to match what you have in mind.
