Recently, I had the opportunity to DJ at a 50th birthday party after a last-minute discussion at the Masterton Food Trucks event. With just two days’ notice, I was able to step in and provide music for this special occasion, which was held at the Masterton Club. The private hire event went off without a hitch, with excellent lighting provided by Festival Hire, creating a vibrant atmosphere for the celebration.

As a fellow Gen-X (or to be accurate, an Xennial), I have an extensive knowledge of music from that era right through to today. This allows me to cater to a wide range of musical tastes, making sure guests enjoy everything from nostalgic 70s and 80s hits to modern anthems. For this 50th birthday party, I curated a playlist that celebrated decades of dance-worthy classics, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed throughout the night.

If you’re planning a private party, milestone birthday, or any other event, my DJ hire services are available for anywhere between 2 to 6 hours, depending on your needs. Whether it’s a shorter set for an intimate gathering or a full evening of entertainment, I’ll work with you to create the perfect soundtrack for your event.

Having DJed at numerous private parties, including 50th birthdays, I understand how important it is to tailor the music to fit the mood and the crowd. I’m available for DJ hire across the Wairarapa region and beyond, and I’m always happy to bring my expertise and passion for music to help make your event a memorable one.

MicroRave’s Mixtape Series – Funk | Acid | Tech | House

Driven by my love of 1980s vibe 303-acid-gurgles, funky house tracks and a chunky dose of tech, this mix meanders back and forth between 1968 and 2068 (plus or minus a year or two). As ever, I throw in some definitely-on-purpose beat wobbles for you to try and spot....
