Hey Hey!! Welcome to my site of FUN! Im talking total devotion to all the enjoyable things in life - going out, socialising & partying with good friends / family! 

As you’ll see music & video feature quite heavily here! Dive straight in on my free downloadable mixes and have a look at my club promotional video’s, of course not forgetting my photography - capturing all the exciting bits that go on while were out and about! I cant promise to make you famous - but i can guarantee we’ll have fun in the process... I’ve been a DJ since the early 90s where I started playing old skool house (as its called today). Currently I enjoy playing soulful & deep house with a latin twist. I also love 80s soul, as this is where most modern house music began! If only i was old enough to visit paradise garage & studio 54... Thanks to the likes of Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles...etc we wouldn’t have house music we all know and love today! More recently Ive been working under the brand of SO SOULFUL - delivering a mixture of soulful house, dance and Funk soul classics - see my events section over there >>> for more info! If its a DJ your after - look no further! Dont let the ‘house dj’ title put you off As i enjoy such a broad spectrum of music i can cater for many party types, from garden parties to diamond wedding anniversaries - so not just house music! I play to the crowd and not just what i’d prefer to play... After all its your party not mine - and i ensure i please the crowd however ‘obscure’ the request may be :o)... Im not your typical mobile DJ either who continually talks over each and every track... the music is there for you to enjoy! However, I will make comment and announce appropriately! What this means for you is a guaranteed awesome party - Whatever! I have days and days of continuous music, thats a lot of hard drive space... each choon is a quick click away using Traktor Pro & my new cdj2000’s... just need to get the spellings right - and thats not one of my strong points! 
 I have done many promotional events for corporations and worked in venus like the Orsett Hall, the Ivory Rooms + many essex nightclubs covering all types of functions... If you want to hire my DJ services send me an email for details! mjmacintosh@me.com My prices are not extortionate considering the comprehensive equipment i own... but price will vary depending on venue, location / distance... etc.. The Technology
Being a total gadget freak I found myself moving away from vinyl during the 90s, probably one of the first in the area to jump ship! I can tell you it was a complete culture shock and at the time I wasn’t sure it was truly the way forward... The first CD players were no way near as creative as a set of 1210s and decent underground house wasn’t available on cd... however being the gadget freak I am I stuck with it! Moving swiftly on... While vinyl will always have that touch & feel no laptop or cd player will be able to mimic I’ll never be looking back - Since my leap to CD DJing on the Pioneer CDJ100’s I’ve progressed with technology and use a software package called Traktor Pro along side a Vestax VCI-100 midi controller... Basically I DJ on a laptop using a mac book pro... This kit has become my record box, my decks and my mixer all in a very small & neat package - record boxes... they are a thing of the past! Another New Addition! As you can see I keep my kit fresh just like my music... I now have a set of Pioneer CDJ2000’s & a DJM700... Its the latest market leading technology from Pioneer for DJ’s! Take a look here >  Pioneer Pro DJ website Pro DJ on Youtube These babies are amazing... They play cd’s, dvd’s memory sticks & hard drives + connect to the mac & control Traktor! What more could a DJ want? THa sound... For the sound I’ve got a set of W-Audio active 15” tops + two active sub bins - in total about 2000w (RMS) of music power!!! I love decent sound and ensure Im equipped for the venue - I hate that underpowered sound screaming from the speakers some DJs insist on taking out with them... that only result in a bad head the next day - not alcohol induce, of course! On top of the sound system I have many light effects that i vary when Im on the road... they range from lasers, scanners & spot lights + a good old fog machine! My lighting systems are LED based and consume much less energy than their tungsten/halogen counterparts - so i think about the environment as well without compromise to the final effect! My basic setup is good for about 120 people in your average sized community hall/small club or bar... If ya mad about music like me then you’ll know that my parties rock!!! About the music... Being a baby of the 70’s my music influence is heavily based on disco, funk and soul... I love the salsoul orchestra and those disco vibes... I often try fusing this into a deep funky house flavour to deliver something new for the crowd. 
My digital music comes from kosher sources such as Beatport.com, djdownload.com, traxsource.com & iTunes. All the stuff I previously owned on cd or vinyl has been converted into mp3 using decent bit rates - as its all about the quality! Health & Safety My electrical kit is PAT tested on a yearly interval and inspected for safety before each gig + I also carry public liability insurance just to be on the safe side - not many djs do you know!!! All certificates can be sent to your chosen venue if they require proof! Photography & Filming While I’m djing in clubs between sets you’ll often find me taking photos or filming... I take photos for Don’t Stay In and upload all my snaps to their site (take a look here) - If you are looking for your photos my snapper id is 0245-0232. As mentioned i also do filming for event promotions... they are generally uploaded to youtube and posted to various social networking sites on the web including yourthurrock.com. I have broadcast quality equipment, including lighting + all footage is edited on the Mac Book Pro using in Final Cut...
