With the best of jazz, soul and funk from the 60's-70's-80's—and if desired a foray into contemporary hip-hop, R&B and house, played from authentic gramophone records—our vinyl DJ has been a great success for years at small and large events. The craft The qualities of our vinyl DJ form a spectacular element during your event or party.

Modest volume

One of the most important features of our vinyl DJ is that he plays music on a modest volume. You don't have to converse with a loud voice, because our DJ adapts the volume very well to the situation. At low volume when necessary, and nicely present when the situation demands and permits it.

The best music from pure vinyl

Our vinyl DJ only plays stand-alone, so not in line-up with a saxophonist or other horn player. That way the music comes into its own most — his repertoire doesn't need such an addition either.

You sometimes see a saxophonist playing with a DJ, but that is more of an 'all-round' DJ. In that case the DJ plays certain beats or a mix which offers room for solo work.

At "De Jazz Centrale" we believe that our vinyl DJ with a beautiful collection gramophone records offers the ultimate look and character.

The music that our vinyl DJs bring with them is not downloaded from the internet in an instant, but is the result of years of research and collecting so every record or single has a story

Apart from the presentation and the story it is ultimately about the sound. In that respect, the quality of vinyl is still undisputedly the most beautiful.

How can you book our vinyl DJ?

A performance of our jazz DJ can be an addition to your wedding or event in various ways.

1. As a solo DJ who provides music for several hours;
2. As a DJ that plays in combination with one of our jazz bands;
3. As a spectacular closing of your party, after one of our jazz bands has performed;

1. Solo vinyl DJ performance

Of course you can hire our jazz DJ as a "stand-alone" act. He then spins the best jazz, funk and soul of gramophone records for a number of hours (often three hours, but other times are also possible).

Our jazz & soul DJ will run your wedding party like this; In the beginning he will play more calm music that is somewhat more in the background, but as the evening progresses, he will get you and your guests on the dance floor and turn up the volume a bit. He also adjusts the playlist to make a lively party happen.

2. Live Jazz Band in in line-up with our vinyl DJ

Our DJ can complement a live performance by one of our jazz bands. He will then play great music before, afterwards and in the breaks. In that way, the music and the atmosphere merge beautifully, without the vibe being interrupted too much when the jazz band pauses. Like this we could put together an arrangement of a number of hours, in which the DJ complements the jazz band excellently.

3. Closing act after a live performance

You could also book our vintage vinyl DJ to play after one of our live bands. This is a frequently booked arrangement where our DJ takes over after our live jazz band has played for a number of hours—for example during a dinner—. He will get your guests dancing and swinging at the end of the day and you benefit from the best of both worlds: the beautiful appearance of a live band, and also the vibe and dynamics of the vinyl DJ.

Genres, style and repertoire

The soul and funk of the rich '60 and '70 era are the main source for our jazz DJ, who has plenty, if not all, to choose from. To spice things up and complement, jazz and latin from the 50's are also played occasionally, and sometimes a tune from the “eighties” pops up. In the later hours, contemporary artists with hip-hop, R&B and house are also a tempting option!

What is needed?

There are not many requirements for the use of our vinyl DJ. One power outlet is actually sufficient.

We take along modest and tasteful lighting and, if necessary, provide speakers, turntables and other equipment so that you can concentrate on other things.

The surface that our jazz DJ needs is very modest. With about 2 by 2 meters we have what we need, but of course also take into account a possible dance floor!

Where do we travel and perform?

Our jazz DJs can perform anywhere in the Netherlands, Belgium, western Germany and Luxembourg.
