About

DJ & OPUS 2 DISCO BIOGRAPHY
(1972 to 2016)
“I have worked as a DJ for 44 years, progressing through mobile, venue bars and clubs & I play the widest styles of music to cater for ALL events”. (Peter A. Roberts - DJ)

MOBILE DJ
I was born in Birmingham and now live in South Oxforshire. I have been a DJ for 40 years with massive experience in running many kinds of functions from Weddings to Corporate and from Celebrations to Student and Childrens Events. My knowledge of music is vast and I always play to the audience requirements no matter the function. I welcome musical input from clients, (as much as you like), that will aid a fantastic event from its start to its conclusion. I have and still perform in Top Class 4 & 5 Star Hotels on a weekly basis across the country including many Prestigious Golf Clubs, Private Estates and Homes.
My experience is vast and my appetite for a successful function is still huge and extremely positive!
Your successful event is my goal making it the best it can possibly be!

Club, Venue Bars, Weddings, Birthdays, Corporate and Black Tie Dinners, Fashion Shows, Launches, Lunches, B – B – Qs, Childrens and Charity Events, Fund-raisers and Theme Nights as a Mobile DJ or Club DJ.

Some chain venues include:- Holiday Inns Various, Crowne Plazas, Village Hotels, Smaller venues includeThe George @ Wraysbury, The Springs Restaurant Reading South and I am currently advertising with Blenheim Palace within their Events and Corporate Brochure and on Bark.com.

CLUBS AND RESIDENCIES HISTORY
I finally stopped DJ-ing in clubs in 2010 after 38 years in leading venues. My final residency of over eight years, was for the LUMINAR LEISURE flagship @ OCEANA, KINGSTON, LONDON - CLUB OF THE YEAR 2003/4 2008/9 - RESIDENT DJ - THURS & FRI.
We also won several awards for the “Best Friday Night Out” for several years during that period. I previously worked for SFX/Apollo Leisure,
European Leisure, Yates (Wine Bars) and many Independents.
My manager, Steve Fluery, from 2003 to 2010 was also Manager of The Year several times himself.
Daytime, I have worked and still work for Disco Mix Club (DMC) for over 27 years for and my title is “DMC Head Of Music” and “DMC Download Site Manager”. I compile the DMC ‘DJ Only’ monthly DJ CDs of megamixes, remixes, promo and themed compilations and collate the DMC Download Site and vast back catalogue of DJ CD Collections for thousands of UK & European DJs.
I have been the subject of several magazine interviews with Mixmag, Update Mag, Kingston Live, Ministry Mag, Mencap News,
and several Local Papers and National news outlets including over 16 years of mentions in OK! Magazine and Hello Magazine! The weekly Henley Newspaper and its broadsheet associates to mention a few.

STYLES AND GENRES PLAYED
I play everything and anything from “Pop and Soul to Rock n Roll” as well as:- Chart, Pop, Party, Funk, Dance, Disco, Student, Club and 50s to 2016+. You name I will endeavour to play it from playlist to requests on the night.

MUSIC, CD, KARAOKE AND VIDEO COLLECTION
My “on the road” CD collection is well in excess of 100,000 tracks across seven decades also currently backed by digital resources for Audio, Video and Karaoke Media for clients which includes a vast and varied catalogue, even screen photographs and video supplied for the event. Musically, I endeavour to get any style of appropriate music to suit the customer needs prior to playing at the event within reason.
Anything “out of the ordinary” may require an additional budget. My Music, Video and Karaoke collection includes so many major hits and plenty of selective background and theme music, mixed or un-mixed, for across food etc. to suit the event subject to the clients
requirements.

SOUND, LIGHTSHOW AND ADDITIONAL MOOD / UPLIGHTING
My lighting has current state of the art digital LED lighting with award winning LED fixtures on a purpose built stands with rigging to for compact and larger venues to add atmosphere to any dancefloor and around the room..
I can also provide mood lighting around the venue that can be controlled and set to your colour scheme adding that little extra to customise any venue in the form of digital LED Tri Colour Heads as “Uplighters”! This adds mood and atmosphere to the venue ballroom to suit your needs if required. I have a 20” Mirrorball, Mobile Lasers and awesome room filling LED lighting. I use quality Midi Controllers, Mixing CD Players and Radio Mics. For live events I can supply a 24 channel mixing desk with effects for any live Artists. I have a very flexible 2K mobile sound rig that allows small and larger functions to be catered without being imposing and the facility through close associates for additional Sound And Lights as required and Dancefloors - including Illuminated LED Flooring as required. My mobile rig would grace any small to medium club with honours!
