Listen
Really very important! Listen to our demos with headphones or good speakers!
Small speakers such as those from a smartphone, tablet or laptop cannot possibly reproduce the deep, rich sound of the beautiful double bass, sousaphone or tuba. That's why it's so important to listen with headphones or good speakers!
Note: chance of competing!
Turn your phone to landscape mode to hear the music in stereo!

One of the most important features of our DJ is that he plays music on Modest volume. You don't have to converse with a loud voice, because our DJ adjusts the volume very well to the situation. At low volume when necessary, and nicely present when the situation demands and allows it.
The best music from pure vinyl
Our vinyl DJ only plays stand-alone, so not in line-up immediately Saxophonist. This way the music comes into its own best — his repertoire doesn't need such an addition.

How can you book our vinyl DJ?
A performance of our jazz DJ can be an addition to your wedding or event in various ways.
- If solo dj who provides several hours of music;
- As a DJ who in line-up fills a program of several hours with one of our jazz bands;
- As spectacular closure of your party, after one of our jazz bands has performed;
1. Solo DJ performance
Of course you can hire our jazz DJ as a "stand-alone" act. He then spins the best jazz, funk and soul of gramophone records for a number of hours (often three hours, but other times are also possible).
During your wedding our jazz & soul DJ this way to turn a whole party. Nice at first quiet and a little more in the background, but as the evening progresses, he will bring you and your guests to the dance floor and increase the volume slightly, while at the same time adapting the repertoire in such a way that a swinging Party is created.
2. Live jazz band in line-up with our DJ
Would you like to complete a live performance by one of our jazz bands? Then it is of course best if before, after and in the breaks the music is provided by our vinyl DJ. In this way the music and the atmosphere flow beautifully into each other, without the atmosphere being interrupted too much when the jazz band takes a break. In this way we can, for example, complete arrangement of a number of hours, with the DJ perfectly complementing the jazz band.
3. Closing act after a live performance
A third frequently booked arrangement is the use of a live jazz band for a number of hours—for example during a dinner—after which our vintage vinyl DJ takes over and entertains your guests dancing and end the day swinging. This way you benefit from the best of both worlds: the beautiful appearance of a live band, and also the punch and dynamics of the vinyl DJ.
Genres, style and repertoire
The soul and funk of the rich '60 and '70 era are the main source for our jazz DJ, who has plenty, if not all, to choose from. To spice things up and complement, jazz and latin from the 50's are also played occasionally, and sometimes a tune from the “eighties” pops up. In the later hours, contemporary artists with hip-hop, R&B and house are also a tempting option!

There are not many requirements for the use of our vinyl DJ. One power outlet is actually sufficient.
We take along modest and tasteful lighting and, if necessary, provide speakers, turntables and other equipment so that you can concentrate on other things.

Music and volume appropriate
At our celebration of 100 + Green gas / earthing stations, the DJ felt good about what music (and volume) was appropriate. He created a good atmosphere during our drink. We can definitely recommend the DJ.

Unique atmosphere
We have booked the Jazz DJ at our wedding party. "De Jazz Centrale" takes a very professional approach and is very open with communication. Still nice at something as personal as a wedding. The Jazz DJ is ideal if you want to decide how loud you want the music, you do not want Dutch "sing-along" and no noisy band where no one can hear each other anymore and at the end of the party with whistling ears back home to go. The music of the Jazz DJ is quite calm, but still danceable and certainly enhances atmosphere. And the music is very special, mostly unknown, sometimes just known. All from Vinyl records; nice crunching gives a unique atmosphere.
