I’m DJ Gada, and I’ve been spinning music since I was 16, starting with vinyls and a passion for sharing beats with others. Over the past 25+ years, I've honed my skills performing across clubs, bars, private events, and even as an artistic director for city festivals.

Q&As
Read the dancefloor is the number one rule and this comes with experience and by playing at different type of venues, from bar to clubs to festivals and for different type of events (birthdays, weddings, etc) Reserch the venue before I go and prepare the music according to the crowd and the client's exectations Ensure my equipment is kept pristine and works perfectly every time. Ask the manager venue any info about the sound system and lighting and if I need to bring anything else (powercords, cables etc)
I select my beats with great care and I imagine how these beats would sound in the venue I am performing at. I mentally visualise how people could react to the music and how I can catch their attention through good beats. Whether it's house, techno, underground or top 40, the goal is to give my audience a mix of popular tracks with other beats they would not have heard anywhere. There is always someone in the crowd asking me, "Wow, what track is that?"
Good music and good vibes make people happy and make them forget problems. Music is medicine and I am honoured to have the priviledge to take my audience to a unique journey. I like to meet people that share the same love and passion I have for music. Thanks to this job, I met so many incredible talents and inspiring people.
I started djing very young, at the end of the 90's when I was 15. I was inspired by the techno and house underground scene and by djs like Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, Sasha, Derrick May, Frankie Knuckles, Sven Väth, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin etc. I bought turntables with a friend of mine and we used to play in the garage. All the other kids would regularly come to see us and dance along. The group became bigger and bigger and soon we started to organise events and play at festivals and clubs. The council noticed me and hired me for 3 years to teach other kids the art of djing. This was a way to keep the kids away from the danger of the streets and to avoid them to get in trouble. The program was succesful and I trained many djs that have had a lot of success later on.
I have been in this industry since I was very young and I know how it works. I am humble and easy to deal with. I take this job seriously and do my best to exceed the client's expectations. They always ask me to come back. I will compliment your events with the right music and will take your parties to the next level.
I have never worked remotely but it's something I would definitely be open to try
I decided to not perform during the Covid-19 pandemic because I did not want to take risk for myself or for other people in this industry.
