How can I find DJ work near me?
Browse our DJ job listings and filter by your location. We feature paid gigs across the UK — from London and Manchester to Birmingham, Leeds, and beyond. Whether you’re looking for residencies or one-off sets, you’ll find local opportunities that match your style, schedule, and experience.
What kinds of DJ gigs can I find?
We list a wide range of gigs including weddings, birthday parties, nightclubs, bars, corporate events, private functions, and more. Some gigs are one-off bookings, while others are regular residencies or longer-term contracts.
Can I apply for gigs abroad?
Yes — if you’re a DJ based in the UK, you’re welcome to apply for international gigs listed on the platform. We regularly feature overseas bookings at hotels, holiday resorts, cruise ships, and nightclubs. Many of these venues look specifically for UK DJs due to their versatility, professionalism, and crowd-reading skills.
Some international gigs may require you to live abroad for a set period — typically between 3 to 12 months — depending on the contract. A valid passport is essential, and in some cases, you may need work permits or visas, depending on the country. Always check the job description carefully and be prepared for a full relocation if applying for longer-term roles. These gigs can offer fantastic travel experiences, regular sets, and a chance to build your international reputation.
How do event organisers choose DJs?
When you apply for a DJ job, your application goes directly to the event organiser or booker — there’s no middleman. They’ll review your application alongside your DJ profile, which includes your music genres, availability, bio, and any mixes, videos, or social links you’ve added.
Bookers often listen to your audio samples, check your experience, and read any reviews or testimonials on your profile before making a decision. If they like what they see and hear, they’ll contact you directly to discuss the event and confirm the details. A strong, complete profile greatly increases your chances of getting noticed and landing gigs.
Do I need a profile to apply?
Yes — you’ll need to create a DJ profile to apply for jobs, but it’s more than just a requirement. Your profile acts as your personal showcase, giving organisers a clear picture of your experience, genres, availability, and personality. You can also add mixes, videos, reviews, and social links to help you stand out from the crowd.
Many organisers browse profiles to find DJs for upcoming events. Having a complete, well-presented profile means you can be discovered and contacted directly — sometimes before a job even goes live. The more effort you put into your profile, the more likely it is to catch the attention of someone booking their next event.
Can DJs outside the UK apply?
At the moment, we only accept DJs who are based in the UK. This helps us ensure a high level of quality, reliability, and suitability for the types of gigs posted on the platform.
While many of the jobs listed include international opportunities, only UK-based DJs are eligible to apply. If you’re currently living outside the UK, you won’t be able to create a profile or apply for gigs through our site.
Do I need an account to post a DJ job?
No account is needed. You can post a DJ job by simply filling out a short form with the key details of your event — such as the date, location, music style, and any special requirements. Once submitted, our team reviews the information and publishes your listing on the site.
After your job goes live, UK-based DJs will start applying directly with their profiles and price quotes. You can view each applicant’s experience, listen to their mixes, read reviews, and assess how well they match your event.
You have full control over the process — you’re free to message any DJ you’re interested in, or ignore applications if you don’t find the right fit.
There’s no obligation to book anyone, and no fees involved in posting or receiving applications.
How much does it cost to post a job?
Posting a job is free. You only pay the DJ you choose based on their quoted fee — there are no commission or booking charges from us.
Can I contact DJs directly?
Yes — when DJs apply to your job, you’ll receive their full profile, which includes their experience, music genres, availability, reviews and links to mixes. You can review each applicant and contact them directly to ask questions, request a quote, or confirm the booking.
In addition to posting jobs, you can also browse our directory of UK-based DJs. This lets you search by location, style, or availability, and reach out to any DJ you like — even if they haven’t applied to a job. Whether you want to compare prices, check out audio samples, or book someone direct, our platform makes it easy to find and contact the right DJ for your event.
How quickly will I receive applications?
Yes — you can post events happening abroad. Please note that all DJs listed on the platform are UK-based, so international travel or accommodation will need to be arranged by you.
Can I post a job for a recurring gig or residency?
Absolutely. You can specify in your listing if you’re looking for a DJ to cover multiple dates, weekly events, or ongoing residencies.
