Ben had a fantastic selection of tunes and seemed to possess that rare gift of knowing exactly what the audience wants. We used Ben Simon for both our engagement and wedding & our combined 50th birthday’s, highly recommended!
The music was brilliant, requests taken, great variety, and the dance floor stayed full all night. Thanks again, the girls loved every minute

Listen to some of my DJ sets & mixes
Funky Breaks – Monster Vision online
It’s a great example of the kind of vibe I can bring to a cool bar or laid-back event to build up the energy — not full of obvious hits, but a carefully curated mix of tracks that feel stylish, familiar, and easy to vibe with.
Lockdown Après-Ski Party
To celebrate my brother’s birthday during lockdown, we hosted a virtual après-ski party, a nod to where we’d normally be snowboarding that time of year. Guests joined via Zoom on the big screen, and I drew on my two seasons as a DJ in the Alps to deliver an energetic mix of styles, designed to keep the vibe lively.
Here’s a time-lapse of my DJ setup in action.
I use two different Mackie PA systems (one compact, one high-powered), along with a full lighting setup including 3 multi-effect LED lights, 2 one-metre light beams, a mini laser, 2 smoke machines, and a UV light for added atmosphere.
Glitterball DJ Set – 2019
The Glitterball crowd ranged in age from 18 to 75, which meant reading the room and adapting on the fly. I blended everything from Rock & Roll classics to modern floor-fillers, carefully transitioning between eras to keep the energy high and the dancefloor packed throughout the night.
Rock & Roll Mix – vintage dancfloor energy
This mix celebrated the golden era of Rock & Roll, with floor-filling classics from Elvis, Little Richard, and Bill Haley & His Comets. Perfect for a mixed-age crowd, the set blended feel-good nostalgia with seamless transitions to keep the energy high and the dancefloor jiving from start to finish.
Funk Mix – Groove-driven classics
This Funk mix brings pure rhythm and soul to the dancefloor, with heavyweight tracks from James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Kool & The Gang, and Average White Band. Tight grooves, big horns, and infectious basslines kept the energy flowing and the crowd moving from the first downbeat to the final fade.
Motown Mix – Soulful Dancefloor Classics
This feel-good mix brings together Motown favourites like “Tears of a Clown,” “Grapevine,” “Rescue Me,” “Respect,” and “Do You Love Me.” Timeless, upbeat and packed with soul, it’s ideal for getting all ages dancing at weddings, parties, and special events.
Disco Mix – Feel-Good Dancefloor Anthems
Packed with floor-fillers like “Celebration,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Play That Funky Music,” and “Lost in Music,” this mix brings the best of disco, funk, and glitterball energy. With classics from Chic, Sister Sledge, Earth, Wind & Fire and Donna Summer , it’s perfect for getting everyone on the dancefloor — from first track to last boogie.
Ben Simon – Festival Promo DnB Mix
A fast-paced, high-energy Drum & Bass set blending euphoric vocals, rolling basslines, and a few of Ben’s own tracks. Featuring remixed anthems like “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” and modern essentials from Metrik, Wilkinson, and Chase & Status, this mix builds intensity and emotion before landing on a classic feel-good closer. Perfect for festival stages, club sets, or anyone who loves their DnB big, bold, and melodic.
Ben’s music got everyone dancing, from my mates to my mum, even my gran was throwing shapes!
A fantastic job at our wedding. Everyone mentioned how fun it was dancing the night away. Thanks again!”
