FAQ's About DJ Services
1. Can I make my own playlist for you to play at my event?

We do not take requests from anybody under the age of 16 unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult. Also, if you have the song on a CD, ipod, or phone, we need to listen to the song before we play it. Please do not request songs with questionable or objectional material.
3. Do you do outdoor events?-------Yes we do, as long as you provide a clean area for us to set up our equipment.
