For the enthusiasts

Our equipment is quite impressive if I must say so myself. We use 2 x Denon DN-S3500 CD players, a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer (imported from USA) and an amp-rack with EQ, Crossover, Comp/Lim, and 2 x Samson Power Amps. Okay, that's the one system. Then we have 2 x Pioneer CDJ-100's and a Behringer Mixer, another amp rack with the same breakdown. That allows us to do two functions simultaneously. Plus there's more lighting than I would care to mention (thanks to Mark). He's like a laaitie when it comes to lighting. And how can I forget - our famous smoke machine. *The Boss DR202 in the picture is from my personal home studio.

Still in the game

The wedding march

The weirdest thing just happened. I went to Yiroll down the road from where I work and as I walked in I noticed that the song playing was "Before the Rain" by Lee Oskar. You have no idea how many times we have played that song. Nearly EVERY wedding uses it as the pre-first dance "wedding march", if that's what you call it. I just thought - "what are the chances of me hearing that song in Yiroll at 12h35am on a Monday. Anyways. Back to work.

How we came about

This is a bit of a long story, but I'll will try to give you the short version. DJ Wills knocked on my door one day cos he heard that I had turntables and a mixer. Out of the blue he says "Let's be DJ's". He took me to Octagon matinee *sigh*. Aaah the good old days. We hung around the DJ booth making a nuisance of ourselves to the resident DJ - Mark. This was around '94-'95. We eventually forced our way in and played the odd tune when he went on his toilet break. Mark had previously run a mobile disco with David and Cedric Greaves. Anyway we pursuided him to start up again. The 3 of us. And so we did. We all moved to Club Zoom in 1996 as well and became the resident DJ's when the club moved from Indian to Coloured dominated clubbers. It was a long run, with me lasting the longest. I stuck it out til 2001 when I left for England. That was when DJ's Alleyne and Paul (aka Dubble Trubble) took over the residency. Since we formed a mobile outfit we have played for hundreds of weddings and many other functions like 21sts, 50ths, corporate gigs, balls, dances, matric parties, launches, house parties ... infact - if you pay us –we'll even do a funeral for you. We have traveled as far as Jhb, Umtata and pretty soon Richards Bay to do our thing. Our very first function as FreekForce Mobile Disco was the wedding of Lauren Kelly and Clinton Bonhomme. In 1998 I played for Brent Fynn's wedding. I don't remember that, but he says I'm in the photographs. Anyway, Brent married Mark's wife's sister. So they were kinda like Broer-in-laws. Eventually Brent joined the team as well. And DJ wills dwindled away into obscurity. So now it's the 3 of us. That's a bit of background for you. More info to follow.
