You are a fun-loving couple who knows the best part of the wedding is the party. You want a DJ playing music that’s lovingly curated to get your guests on their feet, delivered with energy and enthusiasm.
I am a high-energy DJ bringing party vibes and epic beats to weddings and events across the UK, who tailor-makes each wedding playlist and brings a level of entertainment that you and your guests will love.
DJ2FOUR7 was born from my 20 years’ experience of DJing at clubs, festivals, events and parties. I fell in love with wedding and event DJing because it lets me get creative and put people’s visions at the forefront of my music.
Meet Mandla, an experienced wedding DJ working in the South East and across the UK
As a kid I loved listening to pirate radio, with both famous and up-and-coming DJs who introduced me to new tracks and remixes. I started messing around with decks at the age of 14, going to my friend’s house after school and during breaks. He was the only person I knew with a set of decks at home. They were belt-drive turntables and even then were borderline antiques. We had fun playing our favorite old-school garage records that we had bought with saved-up pocket money, and this is where my love for DJing was cemented.
As well as your usual clubs, bars, festivals and events, I’ve also got behind the decks at a fish and chip shop in Soho, a silent disco night in a mansion and a Brighton casino. I even DJ during fitness classes – there’s nothing guaranteed to get people workingharder than a pumping playlist!
Community has always been at the heart of what I do. For me, bringing people together is what it’s all about. I also love sharing my knowledge and inspiring others to make music.
Being a wedding and events DJ is my absolute perfect job. I love bringing people’s ideas and plans to life, and then seeing everyone smiling and enjoying themselves on the dance floor. I really care about making each wedding the absolute best it can be, and I go above and beyond with all the details to make this happen. Every day is an opportunity to experience new things and push boundaries, meet new people and have fun. There really is no better feeling.
And why the name, DJ 2FOUR7? Well, the mum of the friend whose house I practised at once said “you’re always around here, playing on those decks 24-7.” Hence my DJ name was born!
First-ever vinyl?
The theme tune for Thunderbirds Five. If you remember this, please message me on Instagram, we’ve got a lot to catch up on!
Songs guaranteed to get me on the dancefloor?
Anything with a fat baseline, chunky beat or great to sing along to, I am there for it. Specific tracks include Freed from Desire by Gala, Chunky by Format:B, Pow by Lethal B, Incredible by General Levy and Anybody by Burna Boy.
Favourite activity?
I love getting active playing badminton and darts, and also find cooking very therapeutic. The best thing is spending time with my amazing family and friends.
I'm DJ2FOUR7 here to put a smile on your face anda beat in your feet.
