Weddings & private

Corporate & brands

How far ahead should I book?

Weekends fill early, especially in wedding season. Call 0789 191 660 with your date as soon as you have it.

Can I hear a set first?

Yes — over sixty mixes are published on Mixcloud and SoundCloud. Links are on the Mixes page.

What kind of events do you play?

Weddings, corporate nights, launches, clubs and private parties. Open format, which means the set is built for the room in front of it rather than one genre.

How much is it to book a DJ in Kampala?

It depends on the date, the hours and whether sound and lighting come with it. Call or WhatsApp 0789 191 660, or email contact@derrickfiles.com.

Do you bring your own equipment?

We can. Some venues have a house system, and where they do not, the studio supplies decks, sound and lighting as one booking.

How do I hold a date?

A deposit holds it. Dates in December and wedding season go early, so ask sooner rather than later.
