Live-mixed drum & bass on CDJs
For a mixed New Year’s Eve rave, choose Drum & Bass event. Agree the midnight track and whether you want the Audio Demon set before or after the countdown.

Plan the moment everyone remembers
New Year’s Eve needs more than a long playlist
The last few minutes before midnight are the centre of a New Year’s Eve booking. Whether it is a private party or a dedicated D&B night, the music needs to leave room for the countdown and the crowd before the first track of the new year arrives.
A specialist Audio Demon set can build through liquid, jump-up or tech around the occasion, but the midnight cue, venue clock, microphone and finish time should be discussed first. If the organiser wants an ordinary cross-genre NYE party instead, that is a different booking format.

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 New Year’s Eve party (laptop playback)
Choose New Year’s Eve party for a conventional celebration with laptop playback, including D&B songs if requested but not live CDJ mixing.
Book standard NYE 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.
Build towards midnight thoughtfully
Early evening
11:59 PM
After midnight
The countdown should not be an afterthought
A planned running order can manage the journey from early evening through the countdown and into the first hour of the new year.
Create anticipation
You can start with flowing liquid or a broader direction depending on guests and the booked format.
A clean countdown cue
Agree the exact announcement and whether the venue provides a countdown screen or microphone.
Launch the new year
A live Audio Demon set can hit a higher level once the cheering and celebrations are finished.
Getting the details right
Make the overnight logistics work
Check whether the venue finish time falls after midnight and when pack-down can begin. Parking, late-night access and travel arrangements can be less straightforward on 31 December, so leave room for a proper equipment handover.
New Year’s Eve is a premium date in the booking system. The form calculates applicable fees; do not infer that a normal party price applies. Choose the D&B event category if CDJ mixing is an essential part of your plan.

Yes, choose Drum & Bass event and discuss the set timing and equipment requirements.
