Phil provided an absolutely fantastic soundtrack to my 50th birthday celebrations - all of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed the music, and it was wonderful to see young and old alike on the dancefloor having so much fun. He took such care in curating a playlist that suited our taste and musical memories, and then read the room brilliantly on the night. Even when people were mingling at the tables or standing at the bar, you could see toes tapping everywhere :-) Thanks for making it a truly memorable evening Phil! More...

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Tantra Sound and Lightz. Phil is accomodating in every way, reads the crowd and keeps any celebration alive. His extensive knowledge also guides his way he sets his lighting up and creates a new world, accordibg to the theme I am going for. I honestly do not want to use any other Sound or Lighting company as Phil get's it, that X-Factor that makes every event memorable in every positive way! Thank you Phil for sharing your passion with us, you are exceptional at what you do, never stop playing ok! Thank you once again 🙏🎶 More...

Phil was absolutely superb - he read the room and played one banger after the next. If you need an excellent DJ who comes in and does a 5 star job without fuss then look no further. Can highly recommend.

It was truly an unforgettable experience having Tantra Sound & Lights as part of our wedding day. We got married on the 3rd of January and from start to finish everything was nothing short of spectacular. The music was phenomenal and set the perfect tone for every moment — from the emotional parts of the day right through to the celebration on the dance floor. The fairy lights were absolutely magical and transformed the space into something straight out of a dream.

What really stood out to us, though, was the team themselves. They were incredibly kind, friendly, professional and so easy to work with. Everything was handled with such care and attention to detail, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about making our day special. The setup was flawless, everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands.

Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how amazing the atmosphere was, and that’s entirely thanks to the sound, lighting, and overall vibe they created. It brought everything together perfectly and made the day even more memorable than we could have imagined.

We would 100% recommend Tantra Sound & Lights to anyone planning a wedding or special event. We would love to have them back for future celebrations without hesitation. These are memories we will cherish forever, and they played a huge role in making our wedding so special. Absolutely amazing from start to finish. ✨💛

Wow wow wow is all I can say. Phil was absolutely amazing. The attention to detail was amazing and met all of our requirements. He made my ceremony go seamlessly and perfect with all the music playing in the chapel and working with our celloist. All the music entrances for the groom and I and for all the speeches were flawless and so much fun!
He got everyone up and dancing the whole night and singing so loud! He took so many requests and went above and beyond to keep everyone happy! He even was so kind to let our DJ friend play for a bit which was so special and kind of him! Also the lighting a provided was beautiful and set the whole scene 🥹
I highly recommend him to be apart of your special day!

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Phil at our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Phil’s communication was exceptional: friendly, professional, and full of helpful advice that made planning so much easier.

On the big day, he arrived early in the morning to set up the lighting and sound, ensuring everything was perfect and ready to go well ahead of time. There were no glitches or technical issues at all—just seamless service from start to finish.

Most importantly, Phil absolutely nailed the playlist. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests were still dancing at 2am! He read the crowd perfectly and kept the energy high without missing a beat.

We can't recommend DJ Phil highly enough—he played a huge part in making our wedding unforgettable.

There are few words to adequately describe how happy we are that we chose Phil to do our lighting & music! We did a fairy light canopy under the stars and it was absolutely magical, logistically tricky but Phil pulled it off with no complaints!

Phil was also phenomenal with our music. He did our ceremony perfectly, and played just what we wanted for canapés. Our reception had lots of quirks for music but again he did it all with no hesitation.

Lastly, for the party he was incredible! He knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the dance floor strong for the entire 4.5 hours of dancing.

We would recommend Phil in a heartbeat. Thank you Phil!

Wedding DJ

We were absolutely thrilled with DJ Phil's services at our wedding! From the moment we met him, his friendly and approachable personality made us feel at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, which was incredibly helpful. DJ Phil was open to our suggestions and truly accommodated our taste in music. As a couple, the party was a very important part of our wedding, and DJ Phil exceeded our expectations. He read the crowd exceptionally well, playing a diverse range of music that kept everyone entertained. He was also more than willing to consider our premade playlists but expertly adjusted the selections to suit the vibe of the night. Thanks to DJ Phil, we had zero stress or worry about the music and the party. If you're looking for a DJ who will keep the energy up and make your event truly special, we highly recommend DJ Phil!

We can't recommend Tantra Sound and Lightz more!

Phil setup lighting at both our Friday evening event and at the reception, both were spectacular and created an atmosphere that contributed hugely to making our wedding celebrations special!

At our ceremony, Phil provided the necessary speakers, cordless mic's and played the required songs. Everything was done extremely professionally and ran seamlessly. Allowing for the focus to be on the vows and special commitments made.

At our reception, Phil again provided all the required speakers and mics. He played all the requested entrance songs extremely well and made each speaker feel great! He then played the first dance song and afterwards kept the party dancing until the cut-off time! He read the crowd extremely well and was open to accepting requests the whole night.

We can't thank Phil enough for creating an amazing atmosphere at our wedding that we will remember for the rest of time!

Phil recently turned our garden wedding into a fairy wonderland with his lights, as well as DJ’d for us on the day. He was an absolutely pleasure to work with, asking for song requests upfront and guidance on what type of music to play.
Then throughout the night, he welcomed requests from guests to ensure everyone had a great time.
We literally danced non-stop from 9-1pm, having the BEST party ever!

I would highly recommend Phil and team.

Phil was great. He is easy going but very professional. He made sure to understand the brief initially and made some good suggestions, and then just got on with it. He provided all the sound, patio & garden lighting, dance floor lighting and music for a 100 person 60th house-party. He is reliable, responsive, and makes the whole set-up and pack-up happen without fanfare or fuss. During the event he gets on with the job creating the atmosphere for mellow socializing initially and then ramping up as the evening progresses to encourage dancing and fun. He is very open to requests, and also reads the crowd and 'gives them what they want'. It was great to just let him do he thing so we could relax and enjoy the party too. Thanks for all the help Phil and the great service. We definitely chose right! More...

Thanks, Liam for this review. I had an absolute blast playing at your wedding.

Q&As

I always consult with my clients beforehand to discuss the type of music they enjoy. On the night I use my own judgment by reading the crowd - their response to the type of music I play guides me. I also take requests from the guests.

I play all genres of music and do not specialize in one particular genre.

Obviously my music and watching people having a good time and filling the dancefloor. I enjoy the creative aspect of doing decorative lighting and transforming a venue into something special.

After 30 years of the corporate rat race, I decided to pursue my passion. I would often DJ on the weekends.

I have over 25 years of experience. I know how to read the crowd. Having worked in the customer service industry for 20 years, I know how to treat my clients and deliver top class service.

Services

28 years of experience creating memorable functions for many clients. I follow the crowd gladly take requests. I play all types of music. Recommended by EHire as one of the Top 20 DJs for hire in Cape Town.
