DJ Karlton is a professional, highly skilled, experienced and crowd pleasing DJ. An expert at playing at upmarket events, corporate events, weddings clubs or birthday parties. He operates with subtlety, style and with minimal mic work letting the music do the talking.
Experience As far as experience I have been a full time professional DJ for over 2 decades and approaching 5000 gigs across a broad range of events and clubs across the globe, i’ve never really viewed myself as just a mobile DJ and 4500 of my gigs have been in various types of clubs from house, pop, dance, RnB, indie etc. Playlists I’m always happy to work from a music guide or playlist. Mic Style I tend to prefer to let the music do the talking, I’m well spoken and polite and I will make announcements as required but I don’t profess to being a comedian and you won’t hear me
... trying to be one. Kit I’ve attached some pictures of my kit which is elegant, I try to avoid looking like your traditional mobile DJ. As you can see all look more like a nightclub DJ box. Even the basic rig has a very powerful 2000W using high quality QSC and Mackie Speakers. the larger rig will cover a room with 500 people. I use an Apple MacBook Pro Quad Core with SSD for speed and reliability and have a back up system running from my iPad. I have 15,000 popular tracks on my Hard Drive and i’m happy to download others if you have a playlist and even on the night. I make every effort for my rigs not to look like your stereotypical ‘mobile’ DJ Wide range of packages to suit most budgets.

DJ Karlton DJ'd our wedding a few weeks ago and was so great. Our guests had the best time and we've received so many comments and compliments on the music and the overall atmosphere. An added bonus, to anyone organising a wedding you'll know the value of a very professional and organized vendor. You'll never be left on read or left with any outstanding questions. 10/10 service all around.

DJ Karlton was an absolute hit at our wedding! Very happy to work with me on the playlist and was always very responsive to any queries i had. Provided an unbelievable set on the night which went down a treat with our guests and met the very high demands we'd asked of him.
Lovely to meet you Karlton and thanks again for an unforgettable wedding set!

I booked Karlton for a surprise 50th party and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Arrived for setup on time (even though he travelled 2.5hrs), went about the setup without any fuss or issues. Great arrangement and impressive kit. He knows his stuff and was extremely prepared in readiness for the gig. He kept the dance floor busy, involved and such an enjoyable place to be. Adaptive, intuitive and just great.
Not only did we think he was great, the venue staff thought he was fantastic. A good indicator is the feedback from guests afterwards - no surprise that everyone thought Karlton was fantastic.

A fantastic DJ, that we can't recommend highly enough. Karlton was professional, organised and friendly, with excellent quality kit. He kept everyone dancing at our wedding with a great variety of music, creating a lively atmosphere but without constantly shouting over the mic which was perfect! Thank you so much!

I booked Karlton for my wedding and couldn't have been happier. He arrived early and set up was seemless. The entire night he was very polite, friendly and helpful. He has a fantastic ability to read the room and had everyone up dancing from start to finish. I couldn't recommend him any higher and will definitely be keeping him in mind for future events.
