Hearing and collecting music of ALL directions for decades - having started with Motown/ Memphis/ Chicago/ Philly/ Funk SOUL/"Black" Music, also collecting Classical, Pop, Jazz, "World" Music a.m.o., starting as a DJ in "Class of 1995", the first mighty phase of (Deep) HOUSE...
...  then, after having dived into many other items, taking up Mixing again only recently, still emphasizing on DEEP House, but always trying to include further kinds of music from Ambient to Zouk. 

I currently offer Live or pre-fabricated Mixes (see below for more information) with Allen&Heath or Native Instruments equipment.

PERSONALIZED CUSTOM-MADE MIXES - PORTFOLIO for DJ mixes - -

Producing YOUR PERSONAL MIX !

Increasingly I am getting asked by ever more people about how "versatile," "unusual," and stylistically diverse my mixes were —even "Google" or "AI" have taken note of this and commented on it…I quote :

  • `DJ LUTHER TAYLOR´
  • Music Focus: Collects and plays a wide range of Genres, with a strong focus on Motown, Memphis, Chicago, Philly, Funk, Deep House/Garage and Soul.
  • Other Sounds: Also collects Classical, Pop, Jazz, Ambient, World Music a.o.
  • Quotes, References : Described as “World´s best and most outstanding Eclectic Music DJ” referring to his “unparalleled, extraordinary and skillful” Mixes of music in Series like “The Serenity Series” or “Deep Shit” spanning a wide range of genres—difficult to reconcile, yet crafted with skill, exceptional richness of knowledge, courage, and a rare, open-minded spirit.”.  [1]

Given that this is all, in fact, the case—and because I have been asked with increasing frequency whether I could design, curate, and provide custom-tailored mixes for specific settings (such as commercial establishments, retail shops, therapy spaces, or restaurants) as well as for private use—I decided to expand my professional scope on this.

Having also been active for some time now as a producer and mastering engineer, I developed this new service offering:

-- a client/ customer describes their personal preferences or atmosphere they envision for a particular space.

-- I then develop proposals and craft bespoke mixes, drawing from my extensive archive—which currently comprises approximately 800 GB of digital music files, plus thousands of vinyl records. I curate these selections and produce the final mixes using Professional Mastering Software (Apple Logic Pro, Cubase Pro, Fender Studio Pro, iZotope Ozone 12 Advanced) and specialized DJ tools (Native Access, Serato).

Typically, clients request mixes with a duration of at least two hours, often extending to four or five hours.

Pricing mostly depends on and is according to the amount of work to be put in; for example having to digitalize Vinyl Rarities and putting them into sonary upstate, usually demands a lot of time. 

 

BOOKING :
Before booking a Live or Ready Mix, it is always important for the host to give sufficient thoughts on the composition of the audience, guests and friends, and communicate this in advance, so the DJ can orientate along the course of the event and the guests accordingly. 
As far as possible, it can make sense to open up different rooms - e.g. one room for those who are ready and excited to dance in the live mix, another room for (pre-produced) quieter music, or other settings.
The DJ is fundamentally independent and plays “his” own music, can and should hardly react to “calls” and special requests, and only to a very limited extent, if at all. 

Either it “fits” – or it doesn’t. 
DJs are often or should be hired because they represent certain music that “just fits” and is desired by the host for himself or his guests. 

The fact that it (doesn't) fit can, must and should be clarified and guaranteed through prior, timely agreement that the DJ can already foresee and decide to what extent he can correspond to what is suitable. 

In this way and while adhering to these guidelines, it has almost never happened to me that the music played did not suit the audience/guests. 

It is best and recommended that the host holds a high quality HiFi equipment; should there be no adequate music system on site, I can bring my own equipment (Allen&Heath mixer, sound system including subwoofer, two speakers, cabling, if necessary micro, laptops), which costs but are up to the host to bear. 

I then would need someone to transport it - and sufficient “juice” (= well-protected electricity, sockets). 

EXAMPLES of SELECTION and BOOKING OPTIONS, FORMATS: -

- Ready Mixes: pre-produced by arrangement, music genres - fast - danceable - hard - - or deep/soft/warm ... or ... etc.), for playing as a file (mp3), on sound carrier (CD) or similar - as a comparably inexpensive, reliable, usually problem-free alternative to live sets. -- 
- Classic LIVE Mixes: House/ Dance/ Electronic/ Funk, R&B etc., from mid-tempo to high pitch-- 

- Variety Mixes: by prior arrangement, according to the audience/guests, in the same genre or changeable, variable, adapted... e.g. with a quiet beginning (Downbeat, Slowbeat), then a danceable phase, then ChillOut/Downtempo/LoFi etc. ---

- Specialty Mixes: e.g. with mixed genres, rare grooves, jazz, classical - with or without focal points--- -- 

– - Different Mixes: e.g. a dance live mix and one or two ready mixes with alternative styles, or vice versa... etc. 

All this and more by arrangement!
