Some Reviews

They say a DJ either makes or breaks a party
Well you defo MADE IT !!! was brilliant x [Georgie 40th 2017]

Certainly the best entertainer I have ever booked. I could not recommend him highly enough. I booked Mr Manic
with his Lucky Dip Disco for a party I hosted in June 2013 - words can not describe what fun we all had......
Janek entertained the children and adults alike for hours ! [Lucy]

"Thanks a million for a great night.
You helped create a terrific atmosphere, and loads of people commented on how good the music was. [40th 2013]

"You really could not have done anything better yesterday Janek - amazing!" [wedding 2012]

"A brilliant disco with a twist which really got our wedding guests involved.
We've had lots of comments on how good Lucky Dip was! Thanks for helping to make the day magical! "

"We're just writing to say thank you so much for making our party into such a special night.
You did a fantastic job of keeping the dancing going as well as providing great hosting entertainment.
We're sure that you'll get some more bookings as a result." [40's theme 40th]

" Saturday night was excellent Janek. I had a great time! It worked out perfectly. [40th Birthday] "

 " 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 "

" You Are the best DJ in the World - Thank you"

"Thank you for making my evening, you were absolutely superb, we were all still raving about you the next morning!
Take care and we will certainly be recommending you to other peeps. [50th]

"That was a brilliant party, you could not have done anything better Janek!" [4th birthday]

Thank you SO much for making a really amazing and memorable pool party for both the girls and parents alike.
You were amazing. I can't believe you stayed as long as you did, thank you so much for that.
Everyone has been talking about it and saying how much fun they all had.
You deserved your tip!

"You were brilliant – A great party and a truly legendary performance, a real platform for you to show off your skills!
You got it all spot on. Officially the person to hire for these kinds of events" [40th house party]

"Thank you so much for being the best wedding dj we could ever have imagined!
We’ve been getting so many compliments by how epic it was.
My Mum danced most of the night even to house music – crazyness!" [Wedding 2015]

The BEST entertainer I have ever booked!
I booked Mr Manic as the entertainer for my daughter's 6th birthday party and he was fantastic!
My daughter asked if we could book him for her next birthday she thought he was brilliant and had a fabulous time.
Thank you very much Janek for doing such a wonderful job! We really appreciate it. Thanks xxxx [2016]

If you would like me to come earlier in the day to play music during drinks or dinner
or to entertain the kids early or to party till dawn etc
then I ask for a little bit more for my extra energies

For weddings etc I arrive in time to play music during the ceremony & afternoon drinks & dinner etc
I can play lovely music on my 30s gramophone and my classic 80's boombox to suit the event
I get to know your guests prior to the evening ahead which is a key to success.

If there are children I entertain them too etc

Please call to discuss your ideas and desires to suit your budget

History

oooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo

The short story of how I became a tip top party DJ

I work as a professional musician, composer, sound artist internationsally.
I do concerts, art exhibitions, soundtracks and make lots of albums
Quite serious or entertaining, always positive.
and won awards for my work with music and sound.

British Composer of the Year in Sonic Arts - awards speech



For my solo concerts and albums I use vinyl and record players in my music and
exhibitions quite a bit... So people used to say - 'Oh you are a DJ...'
... and I had to politely explain that I don't simply play other peoples
records in my work. I make my own!

Until Now

... What happened? ...

I grabbed a box of charity records at a music festival stall and persuaded the
stragglers to dance & buy the records. I always wanted to make people dance.
DJ Dedication was born. Then my young children needed the very best dancing
music for the start of their lives, so I became Mr Manic children's entertainer -
and then a tip top adults party DJ till dawn

and the rest is history!

Parties for all ages to PUT THE BEAT IN YOUR FEET
