What kind of events does Shakin Entertainment DJ?

Weddings, birthdays and milestone parties, engagements, school formals and discos, corporate functions and launches, private events, and car meets and car shows across Adelaide. We also run seasonal packages for Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve. If you are not sure whether your event is a fit, send the details through and we will tell you straight.

Do you bring your own sound and lighting?

Yes. Every booking includes a full professional PA and Pioneer DJ setup, and we bring moving-head lighting, effect lighting and smoke to suit the room. We have rigs that work indoors and outdoors, including open-air car meets. Tell us your venue and we will confirm exactly what gets set up.

Can I choose the music and give you a do-not-play list?

Always. Send through your must-plays, your do-not-plays, and a feel for the night. Jacob mixes live and reads the floor, blending your requests with the right genres for the moment. We cover house, tech house, UK garage, drum and bass, EDM, R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, throwbacks and the current Top 40.

How far in advance should I book?

The earlier the better, especially for wedding season, end-of-year functions and formal season, which book out first. That said, last-minute enquiries are worth sending. We have squeezed events in at short notice before. Get your date to us and we will tell you if it is free.

Which areas of Adelaide do you cover?

We are based in Adelaide and play right across the metro area and the surrounding regions, from the CBD out to the Hills, the north and the south. We have played events in Parafield, Birdwood and well beyond. Outside the metro area, send your details and we will let you know.

How much does a DJ cost in Adelaide?

It depends on the event, how long you need us, and whether you want extra lighting through the room. Send your date and details through the form and we come back with clear pricing for your night. Shakin is known for a genuinely fair price with pro gear that handles a crowd, not the inflated rates or bare-minimum setups you find elsewhere. No call centre, you deal with us directly.

How experienced is the DJ?

Shakin Entertainment has been making memories across Adelaide since 2019, with a 4.9 rating on Google from weddings, formals, parties and car meets. Jacob mixes live and reads the room rather than running a fixed playlist, which is what keeps a dance floor full all night. It is the part a lot of cheaper DJs get wrong.

Do you take last-minute or same-day bookings?

Where the date is free, yes. We have pulled events together at short notice before. The sooner you get your date to us the better, especially in peak season, but it is always worth sending a last-minute enquiry through and we will tell you straight away if we can make it work.

The DJ that turns a party into a night people talk about

A great party comes down to energy, and energy comes from a DJ reading the room instead of running a fixed playlist. Jacob mixes live and watches the floor all night, lifting it when the crowd is ready and reading when to drop the track everyone has been waiting for.

Tell us the kind of night you want and the music your crowd loves, from house, tech house and UKG through to the current Top 40 and the throwbacks that fill a floor. We build the set around your people and keep them dancing.

It is a complete setup, not just a laptop. A full PA that handles a big crowd, plus moving-head and effect lighting with haze to give the room a real club feel, whether it is a backyard 21st or a hall full of guests.

These guys are absolutely amazing. We originally only had them booked for 3 hours but we ended up extending this by another 2 hours. They were patient with my disabled son, and the space now feels fresh and inviting. Thanks again guys for making my son's night.

Private celebration

Absolute immaculate service! Came out to Fumo, blu lights, speakers, smoke and all, definitely made the night! 10/10 service, awesome bloke too!

Cooper Wager

Night out

Hired for a car show in Parafield and I will definitely hire them again. Music was a good volume, the mix was great. Family friendly so it makes it even better for a family friendly event.

This guy is very nice and polite and he gives you the right price. I asked him to play a song of my choices and he did it, so I 100% will book him again.

I've personally met Jacob on multiple occasions over the last year and he is one of the most committed and passionate individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. Not only a top DJ who gives his heart and soul, but a top man.
