Not your average Electro Swing DJ

Are you looking for a professional DJ who can play Electro Swing but also has over 20 years of experience of playing across all styles and genres of music, from Soul to Disco, from Hip Hop to RnB, from House to DnB...

About me
I've played over 1000 events between my Electro Swing gigs, private parties, weddings, bar gigs, and corporate gigs, so I now how to read a crowd and build a vibe over the night. I really enjoy playing across genres and am equally at home playing 80s and 90s crowd favourites as I am playing DnB & wobbly bassline music.

What to expect from me
When you book me for your wedding or private party I will spend time before liaising with you on requests. Attention to detail is important and I will make sure my set is personalised for you to give you an unforgettable night.

My set up
If you want a soundsystem and lighting rig I can bring that also. I have a state of the art QSC rig which is good for up to 300 people and has plenty of bass ;) My equipment is safety tested and I have public liability insurance so you don't have to worry. I also DJ off turntables - there's nothing more underwhelming than a DJ turning up to perform with just a laptop or small controller... you want the real deal!

Sooooo, who is the C@ In The H@?
Although I am DJing here under the name 'Cat In The Hat', I also DJ & produce Electro Swing professionally under the alias 'C@ In The H@'. There is obviously quite a bit of crossover, however the main difference being that 'Cat In The Hat' DJs all kinds of styles, whereas 'C@ In The H@' keeps it strictly to swingy stuff.

Book me for your private party

Why not book me for your private party to make it an unforgettable experience.

If you want a really versatile DJ who can read the crowd then look no further. I have played over 1000 shows in just about every music style you could think of, from House to DnB, Soul, Swing, 50s-90s, RnB, Latin & World Music, Breaks, Hip Hop, Disco, UKG, Reggae and more.

I have a high spec QSC soundsystem and lighting rig which I can bring with me if required (suitable for crowds of up to 200 people). A good quality PA can mean the difference between feeling the music and leaving the room.

Hire me for your wedding

I can play your special day, either for the evening or longer if required.

I will liaise with you beforehand for requests to make sure you get the music you want on the night. You won't just get a DJ who presses play either. I have decades of experience of performing to crowds so can keep the energy levels high on the dancefloor.

Are you a singer/rapper/poet, and need some custom made backing tracks?, Or do you have another project you need some tailor made music made for?

I can work with you, either remotely or in person (at my Birmingham studio).
