Traditional musical accompaniment

Are you looking for top-notch musical entertainment for your corporate event, wedding, or private party? Do you want to be able to chat with your guests without any hassle, while still having the chance to enjoy a good dance?

Look no further! Jazz Centrale’s vintage vinyl DJ is the ultimate entertainer for your event. With the best of jazz, soul, and funk from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s—and, if desired, a foray into contemporary hip-hop, R&B, and house, all played from authentic vinyl records—our vinyl DJ has beena huge hit at events both large and small for years. Our DJ’s masterful turntable skills will be a spectacular highlight of your event or party.

Reasonable volume

One of the key features of our DJ is that he plays music at a reasonable volume. You won’t have to raise your voice to converse, because our DJ adjusts the volume perfectly to the situation—keeping it low when necessary, and turning it up when the situation calls for it and allows it.

The best music on pure vinyl

Our vinyl DJ performs solo, not alongside a saxophonist. That way, the music really shines—and his repertoire doesn’t need any additional accompaniment anyway. 

You sometimes see a saxophonist playing along with a DJ, but that’s more of a role for anallround DJ. In that case, the DJ plays a simple beat or a specific mix that leaves room for solo work.

At Jazz Centrale, we believe that our DJ, with his wonderful collection of vinyl records , brings the ultimate atmosphere and character to the event.

The music our DJs bring on vinyl wasn’t downloaded from the internet in the blink of an eye, but is the result of years of research and avid collecting. Every LP or single has a story behind it.

But aside from the presentation and the story, what really matters is the sound. In that regard, apart from a few minor flaws, the quality of vinyl is still unquestionably the best.

How can you book our vinyl DJ?

The unique character of a performance by our jazz DJ can be incorporated into your wedding or event in a variety of ways.

1. As a solo DJ who plays music for a few hours;
2. As a DJ who, together with one of our jazz bands, puts together a program lasting several hours;
3. As a spectacular finale to your party, after one of our jazz bands has performed;

1. Solo DJ performance

Of course, you can hire our jazz DJ as a standalone act. He’ll play the best jazz, funk, and soul from vinyl records for a few hours (usually three hours, but other durations are also possible, of course).

At your wedding, our jazz & soul DJ can keep the party going all night long. He’ll start off with some mellow, laid-back tunes in the background, but as the evening progresses, he’ll get you and your guests out on the dance floor , gradually turning up the volume while adjusting the playlist to create a lively, swinging party .

2. Live jazz band combined with our DJ

Would you like to round out a live performance by one of our jazz bands? Then, of course, the best option is to have our vinyl DJ provide the music before, after, and during the breaks . That way, the music and the atmosphere flow seamlessly together, without the mood being interrupted too much when the jazz band takes a short break. This allows us, for example, to put together a complete package lasting several hours, with the DJ perfectly complementing the jazz band.

3. Closing act after a live performance

A third popular package is hiring a live jazz band for a few hours—for example, during dinner—after which our vintage vinyl DJ takes over and lets your guests end the day dancing and swinging. This way, you get the best of both worlds: the wonderful atmosphere of a live band, as well as the energy and dynamism of the vinyl DJ.

Genres, style, and repertoire

Our jazz DJ draws primarily from the rich sounds of the '60s and '70s, which have a lot—if not everything—to offer in the realm of soul and funk. For variety and to round out the mix, we’ll also play jazz and Latin music from the '50s, with the occasional track from the '80s thrown in. In the later hours, forays into contemporary artists with hip-hop, R&B, and house are also an attractive option!

What is required?

There aren't many requirements for booking our vinyl DJ. All we need is a single power outlet.

We bring our own simple yet atmospheric lighting and, if needed, provide speakers, turntables, and other equipment, so you can focus on other things.

The space our jazz DJ needs is very modest. We can manage just fine with about 2 by 2 meters, but of course, be sure to leave room for a dance floor!

Where do we perform?

Our jazz DJs are available to perform anywhere in the Netherlands, Belgium, western Germany, and Luxembourg.
