A Timeless Sound
1920s–30s Music Reimagined for Today
DJ Apparition is a Steampunk and Electro-Swing DJ who transforms the swing and jazz of the 1920s and 1930s into high-energy dance experiences for modern audiences. His performances infuse nostalgic melodies with powerful electronic beats, bridging generations in a way that feels both familiar and entirely new. Older listeners are reminded of the music that shaped their youth, while younger audiences are drawn in by the infectious rhythms of the dance floor.
At the heart of every set is the philosophy that music connects people across time, age, and culture. Whether at a wedding, festival, private party, or themed event, DJ Apparition’s goal is always the same: to unite people through sound, style, and atmosphere.

Infusing Vintage with
Modern Energy
Known for his signature style, DJ Apparition layers swing, jazz, and cabaret sounds from the Jazz Age over electronic dance music and industrial-inspired beats. The result is a soundscape that feels theatrical, glamorous, and immersive. Each set is not just a playlist, but a time-traveling journey that transports audiences to smoky speakeasies and Art Deco ballrooms while keeping the energy pumping with the intensity of modern EDM.

Why DJ Apparition Exists
Behind the character lies a deeply personal story.
DJ Apparition was born out of the desire to step beyond shyness and self-doubt. Music and performance became a channel for confidence, creativity, and connection.
In his own words: “DJ Apparition isn’t a mask — it’s a channel. It allows me to say things louder, play things bolder, and connect with people in a way I might not have been able to otherwise.”

Mystical, Theatrical, and Alluring
The presence of DJ Apparition is more than sound — it’s a spectacle. His performances are marked by a mystical allure, a carefully curated Steampunk persona that draws audiences into a world where past and future collide. Costumes, lighting, and staging all contribute to the experience, amplifying the music with visual storytelling.
With the dramatic flair of a seasoned cabaret performer, DJ Apparition uses theatrical pauses, playful intonations, and expressive gestures to ensure that every set tells a story. This isn’t just about background music; it’s about crafting a memorable, immersive event that resonates long after the final song.

Elderly guests hear the songs of their youth reimagined with new life, while teens and young adults embrace the beats, drops, and rhythms of modern dance music. The result is a dance floor where every age group feels welcome.
This ability to cross generational divides has made DJ Apparition the ideal performer for weddings, corporate functions, themed parties, and festivals. His shows aren’t about catering to one demographic — they’re about bringing everyone together through shared energy and joy.

Bio
Biography
I specialise in Electro-Swing, EDM and tailoring music for special occasions. With over 30 years of experience spinning for audiences around the world, my signature style features smooth transitions between genres to create an atmosphere of surprise and delight. My goal is to unite people through music, creating unforgettable experiences.
Music transcends generations and genres, creating unforgettable experiences.
My sets are designed to create an amazing and vibrant atmosphere, where older guests can sing along to music, while the younger crowd dance to the modern beats.
My goal is to ensure everyone has a fantastic time, regardless of their age or musical preference. By seamlessly transitioning between genres I curate dynamic and engaging sets that keep the energy high throughout the event. I aim to deliver an experience that resonates with every guest.
What I bring to your wedding, party, function, gathering, bar mitzvah, Shindig, Boot Scoot, Ho Down, etc
The dance floor is the perfect place for you, your partner, close friends and family, staff or clients to shake off all the hard work you’ve put into planning the big occasion. You’ll just want to grab a drink, close your eyes and forget about all your worries. This is where I come in.
Here are some reasons why you would hire me:
I Have a Deep Musical Knowledge
The DJ’s job is solely to make sure that people have an awesome experience. I do this every weekend.
In my down time, I listen to the latest hits and the golden oldies, preparing for all types of people from different backgrounds to ensure I can get any wallflower off their chair and onto the dance floor.
I Have All The DJ Equipment. I Have Lighting and Other Cool Things
I don’t think people appreciate the impact good lighting has on people’s moods and actions. A good dance floor provides people with the opportunity to break free from their personalities and become their inner rockstar. No one can do this under some old fluorescent lighting.
I Will Free up Your PARTY PLANNING TIME
I’m sure that you have a list of tasks that need to be checked off before the big day. Don’t make that list longer by creating a playlist of tracks to fill the hours of dance floor time.
I Will Bring Professionalism and any Attire
A DJ is no longer a scruffy dude in a sweatsuit hunkered by a box of records or CDs. They are one of your professional team members ready to hit the theme and tone of your night. I am willing to behave and dress as you require so get me on board early to prepare.
I Can Deal with Requests
In personally running your music, requests will be your biggest bugbear. No, you don’t want to hear your uncles favourite Aerosmith song (Unless you do). No, you don’t want to hear Britney for the second time. No, you’ve never heard of that new club banger your 17-year-old cousin loves at the moment.
Leave the no-ing, yep-sureing and sorry-i-can’t-hear-youing to me, a professional DJ.
I Can Help With Your First Dance at your Wedding
The first dance with your new partner for life is. Followed closely by the dance with the father, if you choose a more traditional wedding.
Just you and your boo on the floor in front of everyone either cutting out some rehearsed moves and just hitting some feelings. It can be scary and confronting, but of course exciting and exhilarating, and you don’t want to think about anything else apart from your partner.
I can make sure it’s seamless by helping you with the planning and execution of your first dance. I can also help with any other activities you might want to run during the night as well.
I Will Read the Crowd’s Response
I certainly wouldn’t take over the duties. However big groups of people come with a big load of opinions and preferences. This is fine, everyone likes what they like so I get it. But, if the majority of your group are looking for a place to sit down when a certain song comes on then you’re not hitting the mark.
I’m keen to hear your songs choices, but also be ready to save the day at the decks when things don’t hit the right beat.
I will be the Last Person Standing
In my history of attending events, I’ve never been a DJ on the clock.
That’s not to say my time is free – but if the party kicks on I am sure we can come to an agreement of some sort. No need to put your playlist on backup…
