We wanted to say a huge thank you for the best disco ever! We loved being able to plan the music on your website because on the night the songs were exactly what we wanted. We both didn't leave the dancefloor once, the atmosphere was so incredible all night and everyone danced the night away. We even saw several people we've never seen dancing before get up as the music was so good. Still now guests are saying it's the best disco they've ever been to and we loved every minute! The lighting was excellent throughout the night, the booth looked great and the light-up dance floor was worth every penny. You set up so quickly and professionally too. We would really recommend you! More...

After Dark Productions provided the music for my and my two friends' 18th party, we were all so impressed by the quality of the sound and especially their new laser lighting which made it seem like we were in a club- we and our guests loved it. They took our suggestions and added their own tracks to make an up to date playlist and were really friendly and helpful. Definitely not your typical cheesy DJ! More...

Thank you Simon, and assistant Paul, for making the wedding's evening reception the great success it was. The excellent service and communication from start to finish made everything so easy for us, including the Facebook survey of guests' music preferences - itself a great piece of fun. Your lighting set-up was truely excellent (to be expected from a professional lighting engineer) and the added computer controlled uplighting around the walls added something different and special. I especially likes the light screen that you worked behind, removing one inhibition to people getting up to dance. In fact we were surprised how guests danced almost from the start of your DJing and continued for hours. Often discos equate music quality with volume, but your equipment gives the best Hi-Fi quality while allowing guests to hold audible conversations at their tables. Your easy manner, music choices, sense of fun and encouragement to one and all was highly appreciated and much enjoyed by all. We can only give you the highest possible recommendation. More...

Simon and his team set up the most amazing lighting and sound system for our wedding in May, it was better than we could have even imagined! ! All of the added extras just transformed the venue, being able to chose our colour theme in lighting all around the room was perfect. The toptable backdrop just looked stunning and finished the room perfectly and looked gorgeous in our photos. We also had a light specially for our beautiful wedding cake, otherwise it could have got lost in the room. But the music and lighting in the evening was absolutely amazing!! The sound was perfect and all of the songs played were amazing, there wasnt a single second where there wasnt anybody on the dancefloor!! Everybody commented on the music saying how amazing it sounded and looked with the white curtains covering the sound system. Simon was extremely professional and helpful on the lead up to our wedding, we couldnt have asked for a better DJ for our wedding, Thank you so much for everything and for giving us the best party ever on the best day of our lives, we would highly recommend you to anybody!

Thank you Simon for very professional lights and sounds for Kathy and Richards wedding. The curtaining used throughout the day and evening enhanced each location of the venue and the lighting added subtle tones. So often romantic occasions are ruined by inappropriate and garish lighting. As to the "sounds" we were all blown away! You chose just the right mix for the occasion. I was really impressed by the sound quality. Even when you turned up the volume the music was so clear with no distortion or aching ears you get with less professional set ups. You and your team knew just how to make today an extra special one. More...

I cannot thank you guys enough for the amazing set up and music for our wedding - we had a fantastic day. The rig was absolutely gorgeous, transforming from the soft and romantic white twinkling day time backdrop into a wonderful disco display for the evening. It was more perfect than we could ever have hoped for, and the music was fantastic. Your lighting suggestions were also spot on, and really enhanced the marquee. Also nothing is ever too much trouble for you, and that made the set up so easy for us. Thank you so much - would recommend you in a heartbeat for your professionalism - you made our day really special. More...

Simon and After Dark Productions provided the most awesome music for my daughter's 18th at Pangdean. A tough crowd to keep engaged with oldies and teenagers, but we were all unable to leave the dance floor the music was sooo good, an amazing evening and loads of positive feedback about the music from everyone - just magical, thank you

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Three things...
- a DJ in tune to the dance floor, never letting it go stale
- Atmosphere, high quality lighting controlled by a lighting operator all night to make sure the lighting effects the mood of the music, lighting controlled well will lift the energy on the dance floor.
- Audio Quality, this is VERY important. A bad sound system will stop that party rocking, poor quality sound systems deliver un-natural sound frequencies, when something sounds loud and or painful and you can’t hear each other talk this is not necessarily down to high volume, it is in fact your brain trying to filter out the un-natural frequencies so you can focus on sound you want to hear, when our brains spend allot of time doing this we end up tiring faster.
Our sound systems are from Funktion-One which are the highest quality sound systems you can buy. These systems deliver the music true to its source with no un-natural frequencies or distortion at any level, it is a crystal clear sound that will allow people to hold a conversation on the dance floor even at over 100Db, when people do want to take a break they wont be seeking a quiet space away from the dance floor either.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Our DJs all have a fast paced style to their mixing, they choose big hits that keep people on their feet but play them in fast succession never allowing the dance floor to get stale. This keeps the dance floor buzzing. We aim for a mix of trendy dance, rnb, chart and credible cheese making sure everyone is happy.
What do you love most about your job?
For me its seeing people having an amazing time, watching people be amazed by the look we create is something special. The real buz is the thank you email from our clients, especially when they feel the need to send pictures of their first dance to thank them for the look we created for that life long cherished photo. It is a real privilege to be able to do that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was always interested in DJ'ing and the associated technologies from a very young age, in fact the first disco I did was at the age of 9. Through high school I was fed up by the terrible disco setups that DJ's would turn up with, this pushed me to start supplying something much better, my aim to be the best in the country, today I feel I can say that.
Why should our clients choose you?
Quite frankly because we can deliver a standard of quality that our competitors can't get close to. If the client is looking for a night filled with amazing memories and a quality touch to the event then we are THE choice!
