01 / THE ACTUAL USP
Alternative
isn’t a costume.
I know the difference between “some rock” and the music that shaped you. Your Fall Out Boy is safe with me. So are your Deftones deep cuts, Sleep Token slow dances, ska detours, indie-disco years and unreasonably specific first-dance edit.
That expertise gives us somewhere distinctive to start. Nineteen years of reading rooms means your nan, old uni friends and work lot still get a brilliant night.

02 / THE DIFFERENCE
Not just a human
Spotify playlist.
You give me the songs, stories, people and hard nos. I bring the judgement to shape them into a night that works in the room.
That might mean moving from Motown to My Chemical Romance, from Bollywood to pop-punk, or holding the heavier stuff back until the right people are ready. The plan matters. So does knowing when to flex it.

Alternative expertise without treating everyone outside your scene like collateral damage.
Alive on the night
No rigid playlist. I read the room, protect your brief and adapt the route in real time.
03 / HOW IT WORKS
Built with you.
Played for the room.
You’re not expected to programme five hours of music. You’re giving me the map; I’m driving the night.
- 01↘
Tell me about your day
Date, venue, timings, people, atmosphere—and why music matters to you.
- 02↘
The music deep-dive
A genuinely useful preferences form: genres, memories, must-plays, hard no’s and guest knowledge.
- 03↘
One proper conversation
Usually around an hour, in Moseley or by video. Logistics first, music nerding second.
- 04✦
I make it live
Your ideas become a responsive set—not a fixed playlist—and you get to be at your own party.
04 / FROM THE DANCEFLOOR
Apparently,
I’m quite good.
The pattern isn’t simply “good songs”. It’s that the set felt like the couple while still working for the people in front of me.

Big birthdays.
Brilliant parties.
Weddings are a big part of what I do, but not the whole story. I also DJ milestone birthdays, anniversaries, private parties, club nights and corporate events that deserve more personality than a generic party playlist.

08 / THE HUMAN
Hi. I’m
Curtis.
DJ, illustrator, planetarium presenter, pink-hair enthusiast and incurable music nerd.
I’ve spent more than 19 years learning what makes rooms move—from Birmingham rock bars and indie nights to weddings across the UK, with a couple of Download Festival appearances along the way.
I’m outgoing without turning your wedding into my gameshow. Warm without being cheesy. Particular about music without being a snob.
