QUESTIONS & ANSWERS"Who will be our DJ for 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 non-obtrusive, fun, and tailored to your style (from over 10 years DJing experience and over 15 years in Audio Production).. This is the Goldbass Records mission!
Adrian Makarov "Can I choose my favourite music for the event?" Yes. You will receive the "client log-in" details after booking so you can start to choose your music either online or from the song suggestion lists. 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. They will be able to choose from over 23,000 (and growing) songs taken to every event.
"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. You can choose the level of interaction you would like presented also.
"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 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.
"How many breaks do you take?" From start to finish I am focused on your event and take no breaks (Except for facilities :)
"Do you require a meal at the event?" As I'm usually at your venue for over 8 hours, you can provide a meal or I can bring my own, I am happy either way and ask this question on the event planner to prepare.
"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!)
Above is a typical Wedding DJ Equipment Setup I have transitioned form vinyl to cd's to digital over the past 10 years and 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 dancefloor whilst groovin the night away. Below is a list of current equipment brands I use.. Speakers = KV2 and Mackie & Cerwin Vega Microphones = Shure SM58 Wired & Wireless Software = Virtual DJ DJ Controllers = PCDJ DAC3 and DAC2 Notebook Computers = Toshiba Soundcards = Audiotrak / Maya DMX Lighting = Martin & iSolution Software Based DMX Programmed Lightshows 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.
"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 (Distance from Ellenbrook permitting). 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 or from online music retailers and I have been building the Goldbass Records collection for over 18 years. 23,000 and growing songs are taken to each event and have confidence that you will be hearing only cd quality legal recordings. I can also source any special songs you may require before the event or even at the event with wireless internet capabilities. 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 obtain extra APRA licensing where required (which ultimately gives back to the artists!).
"What happens if your equipment fails onsite during our event?" I always carry backup sound system solutions onsite to every event in case of failure. To date I have never missed an event and I am in contact with 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 dancefloor. Dancefloor location is important also and you can't go wrong with it being central in the venue & near the bar.
"Where can you provide DJ Services?" I can provide my full range of DJ services to any location in Western Australia. I am currently based in Perth and have a second base Broome. My regional W.A. prices are very reasonable so please ask for a free 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.
"We are interested in your DJ services. how soon should we book before our event?" I generally have bookings up to 12 months in advance on selected dates so make sure you book early to secure your booking.
