Got a Question?

Here are the questions we get asked the most, answered. Whatsapp is the best way to reach us if you still need help, or give us a call on 0333 241 9598.

What type of DJ equipment do you have?

Pioneer CDJ 2000NXS2, Pioneer DJM900NXS2, Pioneer XPRS Speakers as standard across all DJ studios. DJ Pro studios also include an additional third deck.

What do I need to bring to my session?

You can bring your tracks/songs in any of these formats:

USB drive. Make sure your USB stick is formatted in Ex-Fat or FAT32, and don't forget to process the tracks through Rekordbox beforehand.
CDs. Take it old school.
A laptop. You'll need to understand how to connect your laptop and bring any cables you need to connect it to the CDJs e.g. USB A to B or USB C to B.

It’s always worth bringing a backup copy of your music just in case.

You'll also need:

Headphones. A wired pair of headphones with a 3.5mm or quarter-inch jack to plug into the mixer — we don't provide headphones in the studios.

How much does a DJ studio cost?

We charge higher prices at the busiest times of the day — and give you the opportunity to save when it’s a bit quieter. You can find all availability and pricing by visiting the booking calendar.
