I started DJing back in 1989, when Soul II Soul - Back to Life - hit number 1 in the UK charts. Back then playing mainly at house parties, and weddings, and DJing for the love of music, and of being able to create a great atmosphere and make it a memorable party.
In 2004 I started DJing professionally in the corporate sector, and have since played at many prestigious venues including Oxo Tower, Royal Hospital Gardens Marque, Old Billingsgate, Kew Gardens, Natural History Museum, Tate Britain, HAC Marque, Lords, as well as many of the party boats on the River Thames. Clients include Barclays, BG Group, Yahoo, Spec Savers, Easyjet, Mitsubishi, and Boris Johnson - Mayor of London
If you want that house party atmosphere transferred to a bigger venue, I have a vast selection of music from 60s right through to all the hits of today, and the ability to mix seamlessly between all genres of music. Requests - of course - its your party, and can have your request playing within seconds of asking.
I provide a full set up including DJ booth, PA system, disco lighting. I can also provide extras - ambience up lighting, karaoke, photobooth, love letters, dance floors, sax & DJ and more
I will play anything you want

Performed along with the BGT sax player Julian Smith at an Ibiza all white themed private party.
Best venue was Corinthia Hotel in London Westminster on NYE again with a sax player, in their speakeasy wine bar. (Had the best view of the fireworks that night)
Private parties are my favourite events, playing Ibiza classics

Soul II Soul were my influence to start DJ-ing
My favourite song of all time is Aint Nobody - Chakka Khan
Simple answer is you get what you pay for.
Have you been at events where it sounds terrible, or too loud during reception, or the wrong type of music for the crowd.
Have you seen DJs that never look up at the crowd, to see if they are getting it right
Have you ever seen it where the DJ is setting up when the guests are already there.
All the above shows that the DJ is not a professional DJ, and there is a difference.
I am a professional, and peace of mind for you as the client and/or venue is as important as the music I play and atmosphere I create
Set up typically take between 30-60 minutes
Standard performance times 7.30pm - midnight (4.5 hours)
Performances times outside this can be discussed
Yes, but there needs to be a wet day contingency
Yes happy for a playlist to be given to me, to give me a flavour of what you want
I am also happy for requests to be given on the night
"his choice of music hit the spot"
" I had so many compliments about the music and how it was never a problem with requests. I never had a play list but he knew exactly what to play."
"DJ Benn was very professional. Played all the music we asked him to and even came dressed in the theme of the party"
"Good communication with Benn before the event and he played all the music we wanted and was able to read the room on the night. Everyone was up dancing and we had great feedback from our guests about the DJ"
"The atmosphere created made our event a huge success, DJ BENN fulfilled all our expectations and was so helpful and flexible on any requests. Definitely recommend DJ BENN to anyone who is looking for good music with fantastic atmosphere vibes."
