Live-mixed drum & bass on CDJs
The live-mixed Audio Demon format uses CDJs when Drum & Bass event is selected. Send the December timetable so the D&B set sits in the right place.
Book Drum & Bass event
An alternative to the usual festive playlist
A Christmas party for people who would rather hear D&B
Not every December event needs to revolve around novelty songs and standard Christmas party playlists. A staff night, private gathering or venue event with a drum and bass audience can feel more memorable with a deliberate music direction.
The night might still involve food, a speech, a gift presentation or a quiz before dancing starts. Those details help decide when a specialist performance works best. The aim is not to force a club set over dinner; it is to plan the switch from social event to dancefloor.

A live-mixed D&B set or standard event music?
These are different booking types. Choose the one that matches how you want the music delivered—not just the occasion.
Standard Christmas party (laptop playback)
Choose Christmas party for conventional festive entertainment using laptop playback, with chosen D&B tracks but not a live-mixed CDJ performance.
Book standard Christmas partyFor a live-mixed Audio Demon set, choose “Drum & Bass Event (CDJs)”. “Club Night (CDJs)” also uses the specialist CDJ booking format for suitable club events. Standard party and event bookings use laptop music playback, not a live-mixed set. Equipment and venue requirements are confirmed when booking.

From festive gathering to D&B party
The formal side of the night and the dancefloor can have quite different requirements, even when the same guests are attending.
Set the scene without shouting
Liquid or smoother D&B can work during social time if that matches the audience.
Allow for Christmas traditions
Food service, awards, raffles or toasts should have their own space and microphone planning.
Finish the year your way
A dedicated jump-up or tech set can turn a festive event into a proper end-of-year night.
Getting the details right
December dates need early practical decisions
Please confirm the exact date, start and end times, venue postcode and whether Christmas dinner or speeches form part of the booking. Access may be more difficult at busy hotels and entertainment venues; a reliable load-in plan is important.
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and applicable bank holidays can have premium-date charges as shown in the booking form. The music format is separate: only Drum & Bass event brings the CDJ mixing setup.
