"Can I choose my favourite music for the event?"

Yes. You will receive the "client login" details after booking so you can start to choose your music either online or from the song suggestion lists. You can check out the Online Music Choosing Tool here.

I recommend around 20 x "Must Plays" a few "Play if you Cans" and few "Do Not Play" selections for a standard 5 hour event. This gets your favourite songs into the mix whilst leaving flexibility to work with the vibe on the day of event. If you would like to choose all of the music at your event, you may be better hiring a jukebox or using an iPod :)

 

"Can guests request songs at my event?"

Of course. You can also choose not to let your guests make requests.

 

"Do you provide Full MC Services"

Yes. Every event such as a wedding, corporate function or school dance should have someone to guide the event from start to finish. I am happy to work with your chosen MC or can provide this service along with my DJ services.

 

"What payment methods do you accept?"

You can pay with Cash, Cheque (no Later than 7 days before event), Direct Deposit or Online including Visa, Mastercard & Paypal payments. You will not be charged any extra Merchant Fees.

 

"Do you require a deposit to confirm our booking?"

Yes, a 40% of total amount deposit is required within 30 days of receiving event planner to confirm your booking. When a service provider does not request a deposit for your booking, they are less legally tied to your event if they cannot attend - so make sure you pay a deposit for all of your event suppliers.

 

"How many breaks do you take?"

From start to finish I am focused on your event and take no breaks (Except for facilities :) I don't smoke or drink at your event and will always be on hand to take requests.

 

"Do you require a meal at the event?"

I am happy either way and ask this question on the event planner sent upon booking.

 

"What equipment do you use?"

I only use the latest, top of the range, professional DJ sound & lighting equipment. The setup blends in with your style of venue and I have never used budget gear at any event. (In fact I probably spend too much on equipment - but that's great for you!)

I primarily started as a Club DJ so I do beat mix songs where possible. This means you get a smooth transition of party music on the dance floor whilst groovin the night away.

Below is a list of current equipment I use..

Speakers = KV2 and Mackie

Mixer = Pioneer

Microphones = Shure SM58 Wired & Wireless

DJ Controllers = Pioneer CDJ400s

Notebook Computers = Toshiba

Soundcards = Audiotrak / Maya

DMX Lighting = iSolution & Chauvet

Software Based DMX Programmed Light shows

Digital Cameras = Canon

Projectors = Sharp

+ Bubble, Fog Machine, Stage & LED Effects

 

"Can you provide your DJ services for outdoors also?"

Yes. It depends on the weather on the day and its a good idea to have an alternative indoors / undercover backup venue plan in case of rain, wind (or cyclones for Broome Events :)

 

"Can we meet with you prior to our event?"

Every booking includes a meeting to discuss your event. I am happy to visit your location or even meet at the venue where your event is. Please call to discuss Broome Event Bookings. Around 4 weeks before your event is a good time.

 

"Do you have full public liability insurance?"

Yes. My insurance policy is viewable upon request and covers any risks involved with my performance & equipment up to $20,000,000 AUS. Some venues insist that entertainers show evidence of liability cover.

 

"Where do you get your music?"

All of my music is purchased on Original CD and I have been building the Goldbass Records collection for over 18 years. Have confidence that you will be hearing only cd quality legal recordings.

Goldbass Records fully understands the 1000s of hours of work, tears, (beers) and creativity that goes into creating great music, hence we are fully PPCA licensed and APRA licensed (which ultimately gives back to the artists!).

 

"What happens if your equipment fails onsite during our event?"

I always carry a backup sound system onsite to every event in case of failure. Also, I have never not been able to attend an event and I am in contact with reliable & quality DJ & MC service providers who are happy to assist under this very rare occurrence.

 

"What special requirements do you need to setup?"

I require a flat, steady floor (approx 4 x 2 metres) preferably against a wall or in a corner with a couple of available standard 240 Volt power outlets.

I recommend the dance floor be a wooden (preferred), hard, flat surface for your guests to dance and the DJ setup be close to the dance floor. It's great if I can be setup next to a wall also.

Dance floor location is important also and you can't go wrong with it being central in the venue or near the bar. Tucked away in another room separates the party and is not recommended.

 

"Where can you provide DJ Services?"

I can provide my full range of DJ services to any location in Western Australia. I am based in Perth and Broome and my regional W.A. prices are very reasonable so please ask for a quote. As Goldbass Records is a full time business I offer a focused and reliable DJ service for your event any day of the week if I'm not already booked.

 

"Who will DJ our Event?"

Adrian Makarov will be your DJ and is the owner & operator of Goldbass Records which commenced business in 2002. Have peace of mind your event music will be tailored to your style (from over 11 years DJing experience and over 20 years in Audio Production)... This is the Goldbass Records mission!

 

"How soon should we book before our event?"

I generally have bookings up to 18 months in advance on selected dates so make sure you book early to secure your booking. Call on 040 968 1335 or Check Availability Here.
