Long Play Sound DJs birthday parties in London and across the UK, especially milestone 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays. We play the music you actually go out to, from indie anthems to a club-quality house set, with our own PA and lighting. From £450, quoted per event.
A birthday DJ who plays your music
A birthday is the one party where the music can be exactly what you like. Our background is in clubs, Pacha, Turnmills, Scala and Number 90 among them, and our core genres are disco, house, soul, funk and indie. So if you want the night to sound like the ones you actually go out for, we can do that properly, not as a nod in the middle of a wedding-style set.
Milestone birthdays
30th birthday DJ
Often the most club-leaning party. Indie anthems and pop early, then a proper house set once the floor is warm.
40th birthday DJ
The records from your late teens and twenties, whether that was indie, house or both. We'll ask what you and your friends were dancing to and build from there.
50th birthday DJ
Soul, disco and funk, the club classics of the era and the indie your guests grew up on, with room for your children's generation later in the night.
60th birthday DJ
Motown, soul and disco at the heart of it, with the volume set for the room and a floor that still fills.
Planning your birthday set
We'll have a planning chat before the party: your must-plays, your no-plays, the shape of the night and any moments you want marked, like the cake or a speech. Then we read the room and build the set as it goes.
Where we play birthdays
Pub function rooms, bars, halls, restaurants, marquees, homes and gardens, and boats on the Thames. Our PA and lighting is scaled to the space and we need mains power nearby. All kit is PAT tested and we carry public liability insurance.
Birthday party DJ prices
Birthday DJ bookings start from £450 and are quoted per event, based on hours, location, room size and date.
