The story

Thirty years ago it was The Zap Club, Brighton, sunrise sets and a room full of strangers becoming friends for one night. The room's changed — Devon coastline instead of a seafront arch — but the job hasn't.

Sundowner Sessions is one DJ booth built around a single idea: a set should take a room somewhere, not just keep it occupied. That means reading a crowd over a full evening rather than running a fixed playlist, and it means a setup good enough that the music never feels like an afterthought to the event around it.

No flashing "DJ" signage, no scripted announcements, no function-band energy. Just a proper rig, a deep record bag, and three decades of knowing when a room wants golden-hour deep house and when it wants both hands in the air.

The sound

One set, several decades

No fixed playlist, and no greatest-hits-on-shuffle either. A night moves through real, chosen movements — and there's live blues guitar woven through whichever one the room's in.

Set times

Booked for the moments that matter

GOLDEN
HOUR

Weddings

From the first dance through to last orders. Ceremony and drinks reception music, a reading of the room through the speeches, and a dancefloor that builds properly rather than peaking too early.
AFTER
DARK

Private Parties

Birthdays, anniversaries, milestone gatherings. A set built around the host's actual taste — melodic house, disco, classics, whatever the night calls for — not a generic party playlist.
MAIN
STAGE

Festivals & Mini-Festivals

Outdoor rigs, longer sets, full-day stamina. Comfortable opening a stage at 2pm and just as comfortable closing it at midnight.

Venues & Clubs

Regular nights and one-off bookings for bars, restaurants and venues across Devon wanting a proper selector behind the decks, not background noise.

The setup

Not just a bloke with a laptop

  • 01

    A genuine hybrid rig

    Lamborghini-edition Technics turntables for real vinyl, a Pioneer DDJ-FLX10 for the digital library, and a Pioneer XDJ-AZ joining the line-up shortly. Most mobile DJs bring a laptop and a controller. This is a setup built by someone who actually collects decks.

  • 02

    Live blues guitar over the mix

    A blues player at heart — real guitar lines layered live over the set, not backing tracks. Almost no mobile DJ in the region offers an actual musician playing over the mix.

  • 03

    Built to run with no power on site

    An AlphaTheta Omnis-Duo battery-powered all-in-one deck and a pair of Electro-Voice EVERSE 12 battery PA speakers add up to a full rig that needs precisely zero mains power. Marquees, fields, woodland ceremonies, beach parties — if the venue's beautiful but the power isn't there, that's not a problem here.

  • 04

    Thirty years of reading a room

    Brighton's Zap Club in the early-to-mid 90s, decades of sets since. The gear matters, but knowing exactly when to drop the energy and when to lift it is what actually carries an event.
