MUSIC & REQUESTS

CAN I REQUEST SPECIFIC SONGS OR A CUSTOM PLAYLIST?

Absolutely! If you’d like to share a playlist to give us a feel for the vibe you’re after, please send it through at least 30 days before the event (unless agreed otherwise). Be sure to highlight any must-play songs you want included. DJ Swishh will do their best to incorporate them - but ultimately, you’re booking a curated DJ set tailored to the flow of the night, so we may adjust based on the energy of the event.

CAN GUESTS MAKE SONG REQUESTS DURING THE EVENT?

Yes, guests can request songs on the night, but these will be subject to DJ discretion, song availability, and how well they fit within the overall set. We prioritise keeping the vibe and energy right for your event.

DO YOU MIX DIFFERENT GENRES?

Absolutely! We seamlessly blend multiple genres to keep the crowd dancing. Whether you want a mix of R&B, house, EDM, party anthems, or throwback hits, we’ve got you covered.

EVENT & SETUP

HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED?

We require at least a 3m x 2m covered space for our DJ setup.

WHAT POWER REQUIREMENTS DO YOU NEED?

We need access to a reliable power source. If extension cables are required, the client must ensure they are provided and in safe working condition.

HOW LONG DOES SETUP AND PACK-DOWN TAKE?

Setup: 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the venue.

Pack-down: 30-45 minutes.

If we are not starting immediately, we may request early access for setup.

DO YOU PROVIDE LIGHTING AND EFFECTS?

It includes two LED Derby fixtures, LED wash lights, a laser, and four high-power LED strobe lights, all mounted on a single bar to create an epic party atmosphere.

DO YOU PROVIDE A MICROPHONE OR MC SERVICES?

DJ Swishh doesn’t offer MC services, but we can provide a simple wired microphone (2m cable) for speeches if your venue doesn’t have one. Just let us know in advance.

DO YOU MEET CLIENTS IN PERSON BEFORE THE EVENT?

We typically don’t meet in person before the event, but we’re happy to go over any final details via email, phone, or message.

CAN WE EXTEND THE DJ SET ON THE NIGHT?

Yes! If the DJ is available, you may extend the set for an additional hour for $90. This is subject to approval on the night.

WHAT IF MY EVENT IS OUTDOORS?

If your event is outdoors, it’s your responsibility to ensure the DJ setup area is fully covered and weatherproof. You must also have a wet weather backup plan. If the location is unsafe due to weather and no covered area is provided, DJ Swishh reserves the right to cancel without refund for safety reasons.
