" if you want to hear the best....Dedication's what you need "
Hello.. my name is Janek
[DJ Dedication]
that's me on the left with dancers rumaging through my collection of classics at a funky party in London.
I bring my boxes of 7" vinyl that I've collected and selected through my life.
Tip top party tunes among other happy gems. Anything I like. Only brilliance.
No tacky rubbish I grew up hearing at the disco. Agadoo is in the bin!
I've hand picked stock from retired disco DJ's & eBay, to amass only the finest classic hits.
I have over 12 hours of floor fillers.
* My unique selling point is that *
I turn my record collection around to face you
This is the difference that makes the party swing
I invite you to rumage through and find something you love.
We chat and laugh and then dance and I do a dedication for you if you like.
Wherever possible I use the 'original' version, no remixes, just the music as the artist intended.
Only good music that makes us smile - played on vinyl for that authentic vibe from the 50's to the 90's
- I DJ on the dance floor - not in a booth - for obvious reasons -
Weddings
For weddings and other full size events I work with you to select special tunes from my archive or your collection.
I have on USB stick with every top 5 or top 10 single in the UK chart from 1960 to 2008!
It is a nice idea to ask each guest for one top tune that will ge them dancing.
I bring these on CD so we have a complete set of good music for the party.
************************************
- I can play anywhere -
all types of celebration : weddings, birthdays, graduations, family & office parties,

Mackie mixing desk and a pair of Numark portable party turntables for 7" fun.
Sound reactive disco lighting, and bubble toys.
Dedicated dancers at a masked party

Someone even crawled onto my bunk bed at the end of that night to give me a goodnight kiss on the cheek. Really.
How sweet! I have no idea who it was.. she was wearing a mask! if it was you, please do tell me. Are you in the picture.
My wife knows I am dedicated and I do not remix. But I need groupies like you in my entourage!
at this party in Brick Lane they said
" DJ's are normally so protective of their records, but your idea is so cool "
" I almost cried at my wedding when the DJ didn't play what I wanted. I wish I had invited you "
" Ah, I've never seen anyone mix like that before, excellent mate "
mysterious masked maidens chanted
'you Are the best DJ in the World'
yes yes - I can only trust their opinion, they had their hands in the air !
DJ Dedication has a generous character, and an appetite for the good times.
a full on fun party at the Sassoon Gallery, London
