Book with Rising Stars
DJs who carry the room - night after night
Book professional disc jockeys through Rising Stars for hotel and resort residencies, cruise ship entertainment, clubs, and venue calendars. Most placements run for months; one-off events are secondary but available when your brief needs them.
A strong hire reads the audience, balances requests with house style, handles sound (and lighting when the brief asks), and works as a host when the mic is part of the role - solo or alongside other musicians.
Browse the full roster in our catalog, or send a brief and we will return matched options.

- Open-format
- House & deep house

What a contract DJ delivers
Across guest areas the DJ sets the mood: selecting and mixing for different crowds, managing the booth, and often hosting on the mic. Sets may split across the evening; libraries stay current when musical directors request updates.
- Broad repertoire - often hundreds of ready tracks across popular styles
- Live adaptation: requests, peak hours, family vs late-night floors
- Confidence with modern controllers and venue-standard gear
- Professional presence with guests and entertainment teams
- Fluent English for briefings, rehearsals, and guest contact
