I’m a mobile DJ, which means I bring the music to wherever you need it.
What I do is best described as an all-round DJ or event DJ. I specialise in entertaining at family celebrations where three or four generations party together, using a varied music mix and staying flexible throughout the event.
A full-time DJ is someone who works as a DJ professionally and therefore brings experience from many different kinds of events. For you, that mainly means more certainty when it comes to planning, flow and atmosphere at your event.
A professional DJ prepares carefully, is punctual, pays attention to details and usually brings high-quality, proven equipment along with the right know-how. They can react flexibly to guests, music requests and special situations, and they keep an overview even when the schedule changes at short notice.
A full-time DJ is also not just “someone local who plays music”, but a service provider you need to be able to rely on. Especially for important celebrations, it’s a real advantage when your DJ plans reliably, appears professionally and supports your event with the right level of experience.
It makes no difference whether I am a full-time DJ or not. Contributions to the KSK only have to be paid for artists. As a DJ, I do not create my own new works, but merely present the works of other artists in different forms, so I am not considered an artist in this sense and no KSK contribution is due.
When you book a mobile DJ, that normally includes the complete mobile disco setup.
It is rare, but some venues are equipped with genuinely good event technology for sound and lighting. In a venue like that, the DJ only needs to bring their case of music and small essentials. That is where the term “Kofferjob” comes from.
Appearances can be deceptive, though. Even if speakers are mounted in a restaurant or conference room, they are generally not suitable for music events.
You can book me for any private or public event where the kind of entertainment I offer is exactly what you’re looking for.
First, just send me a no-obligation enquiry to check whether your preferred date is still available. You’ll find contact buttons or links in several places on every page. If you use Contact form, I get the most important details at a glance. I usually reply the same day or on the next business day.
If your preferred date is available, we’ll discuss the next details of your event. And yes, actually talk — by phone, in person or via video call. If everything fits, you’ll receive a quotation. If there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me and we’ll surely find a solution. If you’re happy with everything, you can book me online in just a few clicks. I’ll then reserve your date and confirm your booking in writing. That gives us a binding agreement.
It’s also worth mentioning that we’ll have a final planning conversation shortly before your event. If you’d like, and for an additional fee, we can also meet in person, for example at the venue.
Since I also offer emergency DJ cover, it is always worth asking. In theory, you could even book me two hours before I set off to your event. But if you want to secure your date and avoid disappointment, that really shouldn’t be the norm.
As a general rule, you should get in touch with me right after booking your venue. Ideally, there should be at least 1 month between your enquiry and the event date so everything can be prepared properly.
If your event is on a Friday or Saturday during the main season (May to September), you should book 6 to 12 months in advance. Outside the season, 1 to 3 months is usually enough.
This does not apply to especially popular dates such as Friday, 27.8.27 or Saturday, 29.9.29 for weddings, school enrolment days, Halloween or New Year’s Eve. The more attractive and in-demand a date is, the earlier you should book.
Most booking enquiries I receive are for Fridays and Saturdays. But as a full-time DJ, I’m of course available for events on any day of the week.
Contract discussions and final planning calls, however, do not usually take place at weekends.
Yes, you can. However, DJs are a bit particular about sound quality, because poor sound is always blamed on us. So please make sure that the sound and lighting system at the venue is genuinely professional equipment. In that case I only need to bring playback equipment and a microphone.
The system on site must have an input with 2x XLR female connectors.
I’m a mobile DJ and my business is based in eastern Brandenburg. Out here, you’re only truly mobile if you have your own vehicle.
Travel and transport are part of my job, so my clients don’t need to worry about that.
I always find that question a bit surprising, because I know it usually comes from bad past experiences. Taxi drivers don’t show up without a car either, do they?
Of course I have the tools I need for my work — sound and lighting equipment for small and medium-sized events. If you need something bigger, I’ll be happy to help with the planning.
No, you can book me for any location that can be reached by car.
I am most commonly booked for events in Berlin and Brandenburg as well as the neighbouring regions of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Poland.
If your venue is further away, you should expect higher travel and accommodation costs.
Yes. After often taking over bookings for the following day at short notice, the emergency call from a fellow DJ who was stuck in traffic finally gave me the idea of offering an emergency DJ service as well.
Yes, you can book a photo booth in addition to your event or as a standalone service. It includes a fast photo printer that prints the photos from each session directly onto real photo paper using a personalised template. If your venue does not have a suitable background, I can also provide a fabric backdrop. At the end of the event, you’ll receive a USB stick with all photos as a keepsake.
As a guideline, a photo booth package starts from 299.00 EUR. You can find more information under Photobooth.
No, I do not take on that kind of job. A computer service business would be a more suitable contact, or — if audio restoration is required — a smaller recording studio.
Such digitisation is really only recommended for absolute rarities. Many oldies albums or compilations can now be bought very cheaply or downloaded, and in those cases the cost of digitising would exceed the cost of buying them again.
The price depends on the preparation time, the duration of the event, the amount of equipment required, the travel distance to the venue and any transport difficulties on site.
You can book me from 549.00 EUR for a 5-hour suitcase job. That places me in the mid-range DJ price segment. Details are available under My Prices.
As venues are rarely equipped with proper sound and lighting, you can also book sound & lighting from 152.90 EUR.
Once your booking has been confirmed, a contract has been concluded. As a consumer, you can revoke our contract within 14 days. Costs only arise if I have already provided services.
If you are not a consumer or the cancellation period has already expired, a loss-of-fee compensation becomes due, the amount of which is regulated by the German Civil Code. Depending on whether I receive another booking for that date, you may have to expect costs from EUR 59.50 up to the full agreed amount.
If you merely need to postpone the date, we will surely find a solution for that as well.
No — we have a contract, after all. If I ever did have to cancel for health reasons, I would arrange a DJ colleague for you who can do the job just as well.
Yes, I can stay longer, provided I don’t have another commitment afterwards. You’ll find the price for an extension in your quotation. You just need to let me know in good time before the agreed end of the event.
If you don’t want to keep an eye on the clock, just book me open end from the start. Then I’ll play as long as your party is running, though evening events end at 4:00 a.m. at the latest.
No, you are only entitled to a reduction if I fail to provide the agreed services even after you have pointed out the defect. This would include cases such as missing or defective equipment or not keeping to the agreed playing time.
You won’t find a guaranteed atmosphere in any contract clause. I also think it is not very serious to advertise guaranteed vibes and full dance floors. Even so, I use all my skills and experience to entertain you and your guests as well as possible and help create a great atmosphere.
You will receive an invoice showing VAT separately.
If you run a business, you may also be able to deduct DJ services for tax purposes under certain conditions.
You do not have to pay a deposit. Subject to a positive credit check, you will receive an invoice that is payable within 7 days of receipt.
In principle, I accept SEPA bank transfer, PayPal, GiroCard, Maestro, V Pay, Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Diners Club, Discover Card, China UnionPay, JCB Cards, Contactless payment, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash up to €200.
If you would like to pay cashlessly at the venue, Wi-Fi or mobile internet must be available.
More information can be found under Payment Information.
I usually arrive around 90–120 minutes before the music starts and begin setting everything up. Setup ends with a soundcheck at party volume. After the event, I need about 60–75 minutes to pack everything away again. If your venue has service staff, please pass this information on to the service team or event manager as well.
If a larger technical setup is required or there are transport difficulties at the venue, we’ll discuss how much extra time is needed.
I recommend setting the music start time to the start of the reception, meaning the time your guests are invited to arrive. Your guests then walk into a fully prepared venue, and pleasant background music creates a nice atmosphere right away.
A tight budget may force you to plan for a later music start. But please never schedule the setup in parallel with performances or mealtimes, because that causes disruption — and at the latest during the soundcheck your guests will become annoyed. Together we’ll find a better solution.
Solo entertainers are usually easy to accommodate: a microphone with or without a stand, some backing tracks or a prerecorded audio clip — that’s no problem.
Singers and bands normally bring their own equipment. To save space, we can share the PA speakers.
Please let me know about plans like this already when the contract is concluded.
GEMA fees are only due for the public performance of music. An event is considered public whenever admission is charged, and also when guests are admitted who do not have a personal connection to the hosts.
For example, your garden party with close family is not public, even if the whole neighbourhood can hear it. Turkish weddings, Polter weddings or Polterabend celebrations, on the other hand, are public even when they take place in a hall, because by tradition anyone may join in. Funeral receptions are public unless they take place only within the closest family circle. School graduation parties for pupils, both parents and the closest teachers are not public. But if tickets are sold in advance, as is often the case for a prom, the event becomes public, because it is not the organising committee but the ticket purchaser who determines who attends.
The organiser of a public event must register it with the responsible GEMA district office in good time and pay the fees.
In addition, the DJ must also obtain GEMA licensing for copies of the music used at public events. I have already taken care of that.
If you’re still unsure, just ask me.
The equipment I use is not protected against moisture. At the first raindrop, I would have to stop the event. As the organiser, you therefore need to provide adequate weather protection in the form of a roof and side protection on 3 sides. Please also observe the minimum setup dimensions stated in my terms and conditions, which must not be undershot.
No — trust me, you really don’t want to experience that! But I’ll be happy to put you in touch with someone who can do it properly.
I don’t usually provide party games myself. Guests tend to feel more comfortable when they can decide for themselves when they want to sit and when they want to move. Most people don’t enjoy being pulled up from their seat unexpectedly and put on the spot.
If your group enjoys games, hosts and guests usually bring the ideas themselves and want to present them on their own. In that case, I’m happy to support with music and moderation as needed.
My music library starts around 1920 and goes right up to the current charts. The available genres are best summed up as mainstream.
The musical direction — in other words how old or current the music should be and which genres you prefer — is something we discuss a few days before the event in a final planning conversation.
In principle, yes! It’s often the quickest way for me to connect with the guests. However, I reserve the right to decide when I play a request — or whether I play it at all — because some requests are very individual. And of course I don’t have every song in the world.
There are naturally exceptions to “generally yes”. At large public events with 1,000 visitors or more, for example, if a whole queue of people builds up with requests and I can no longer focus on my actual job, limits have to be set.
Yes, absolutely — contributions like that are often a real highlight and make a celebration even more personal. Ideally, I should receive the information at least 14 days before the event so I can plan the timing properly and check the music in advance.
If a rare, shortened or edited track is needed, the file can simply be sent to me in advance. That also applies if the surprise is meant to stay secret: in that case, your guests are very welcome to contact me directly. Supported formats for music sent in advance are MP3, WMA, AAC and AIFF.
As a rule, I do not play music directly from CDs, smartphones or USB sticks handed over on site at the last minute. That is not about unwillingness, but about keeping things reliable and secure: it helps avoid technical problems, compatibility issues and unnecessary malware risks for the equipment in use.
Most people still remember the booths in railway stations or department stores where you inserted coins, had a few pictures taken and then received them printed on a strip.
As a mobile DJ, I don’t offer a booth cabin. The whole unit is set up on a tripod with a separate printer, and of course you don’t need to insert any coins. What remains from back then is the self-service concept and the instant print.
You can find more information on the detailed page at Photobooth.
The photo booth should be placed about 2 metres away from the background. A dark, neutral background (for example curtains, rustic brickwork or wood panelling) is recommended, because it makes the colours of the props look more brilliant.
Altogether, the photo booth with printer and fabric backdrop requires an area of around 3 x 3 metres. A standard power socket should be nearby.
If the photo booth is to be set up outdoors, you must provide a roofed cover, because the booth is not weather-protected. A gazebo with 3 side walls and a minimum height of 2.5 metres would be suitable.
Karaoke is an add-on to the mobile disco. Singing is done through the DJ sound system, and you can read the lyrics from a monitor.
If there is no more interest in karaoke, the monitor can be put aside quickly and the event can move straight on to dancing.
I keep all karaoke titles on a local storage device, so I am completely independent of Wi-Fi or mobile internet. The same power requirements as for the mobile disco are sufficient.
All that is additionally needed is some extra space for a tripod monitor stand with a footprint of about 1 metre, placed near the DJ booth.
I currently have around 300 songs that are well known from the mainstream of the past 50 years. Some are for solo singing, some are duets. Most of them belong to the genres rock, pop and German Schlager.
Karaoke tracks are not just ordinary songs without vocals. They are a special format in which a video track with the lyrics runs in sync with the music. That is why you can only choose from the tracks that are available.
If you let me know your favourites in good time beforehand, I will do my very best to make sure you can sing them at your karaoke party.
Of course not! The karaoke package is booked in addition to the mobile disco. That gives you extra microphones for singing and a monitor that displays the lyrics. If nobody feels like karaoke anymore, I simply continue as your DJ and play music as usual.
