City Slicker Discos have been around for a few years now, playing at countless functions –
Weddings, Birthdays, Company do’s, Celebrations etc
CITY SLICKER DISCOS are now classed as the ‘Old School Discos’ which means that we play all the great music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s right through to the millennium years, but there are some good songs also from the last 20 years that we include in our songlist.
We consider the classic hits from these years are the songs people can dance to and sing along to - bands like Abba, The Eagles, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC. We could go on to the bottom of the page, but you get the sort of stuff we do, the sort of songs recently known as bangers meaning they go off!
'Old School Discos' also describe our Disco rig set ups, using lighting and effects designed to give a recipe for a great atmosphere in whatever hall, marquee or any room that has power! We try to create the original Nightclub Disco sensation that just wants you to dance the night away. Our DJs are very aware of how to use the lighting tastefully, altering the lights to suit the music and not going ‘over the top’ with any lights that could be annoying, but we have never had any complaints!
A few people in the DJ business tend not to use the word ‘Disco’ any more as it’s considered old fashioned, they prefer to be just DJs. Today’s DJs find it easier to do gigs with their computers, tablets, some even use vinyl in the clubs, but our DJs still use CDs and laptops so we’ve paid for all the music we play. Quite a few DJs out there walk into functions with a couple of coloured lights, a computer, amp, mixer and speakers and that’s your lot! Now some people will be okay with that, but we like to think we’re giving clients value for money with our rigs and each rig takes about one hour to set up, usually a few hours earlier before people get to the function. If the job is out of Dunedin, the DJ may require accommodation to be supplied and this also gives them a base to go back to after the set up before starting the night.
We do have a specialised WEDDING DISCO which caters for your special day. Our DJ will call you a few days before your big day to discuss your wedding dance choice and to talk about songs you want included on the night. He will cruise the music until you are ready to have your first dance and you may want this to be just the two of you or he will bring on the wedding party to spare any blushes because you’ve forgotten your dance routine! The DJs will take requests on the night, but their experience means they will play them when the time is right.
We can also provide you with a portable sound system, including a lapel mic and cordless mic to help you with the Wedding service/speeches, plus it can be used to play background music while dining.
We also have a BEACH PARTY DISCO for a themed occasion which includes a couple of fun items to help make your night a success!
Call us for an informal chat about the night you are after for your function and we will do our best to give you the benefit of our years of experience, even if it means that we feel City Slicker Discos are not really what you are after!
We don’t do school formals or student parties now because the music they appear to want is Rap, Hip-Hop, Drum’n’Bass and other various styles of music best catered for by the right DJs...

The duration of the function is discussed at the time of booking, although 4 hours (or part thereof) is the standard. If you want to party longer, this can be negotiated with the DJ on the night.
