Atmosphere Adjuster

Curator of Vibes

 
 

Hi there! My name is Leon. In the past 10 years (since 2012) of supporting events have taught me that:

a) Preparation is the key to a smooth and enjoyable event.

b) I understand both what is necessary, and what could be extremely useful for events (music, vibe, equipment, event flow, and so on!)


As an Atmosphere Adjuster (Sound & Lighting guy):

I do my best to provide the right equipment for the job and run it in a way that is best suited for the environment. These adjustments can range from adjusting sound/music, shifting speaker direction, setting the right mood with color lighting, or even just adding a fan for a sweaty dancefloor.

As a Curator of Vibes (DJ / Music Curator):

My main goal is to prepare playlists and select the right music for the events’ theme, objective, and energy. While I may not be the best in the art of mixing, I am very good at reading the crowd. In short, I maintain good vibes based on your needs!


My musical tastes are diverse: From pop, rock, and Top 40s to house, techno, and EDM, I love many forms of music in general and can therefore play well to equally diverse event demographics. Imagine trying to please a crowd of 200 at a wedding for hours! That’s what you have ME for :)

Based on testimonials and a literal decade of experience, I find myself to be a jack-of-many-trades who is friendly, intelligent, creative, energetic, and not afraid to get my hands dirty. This combination of traits has resulted in many a smile sent my way for the help or for the fun.

While I have serviced a wide variety of events both large and small, weddings are my forte. Please feel free to email me for a quote or ask any questions you have.

I hope to hear from you soon about your next occasion!

Booking & Payment

Can we meet before booking?

Yes. We can do an initial meet and greet for us to put a face on each other and have a relaxed chat about your event. If it’s inconvenient I can do everything online via email and Whatsapp. Some of my clients are located overseas and do enjoy being able to plan everything without being there in person.

How long will you hold the date for us?

Unless a deposit is made, I will hold a date up until 1 month before the event. In the event another booking comes in for the same date, I will send a notification to alert you about the deposit. You will lose the date if the second booking is able to make the deposit after my notification.

Payment terms

Payment terms are quite flexible depending on the total amount of the booking. If you require a different payment plan, just let me know and we’ll work something out.

  • For small bookings of below RM2000, 50% as deposit and 50% 1 week before the event day

  • For larger bookings of RM2000 and above, 30% as deposit, 50% in between, and 20% before the event day

  • Full payments are also appreciated

What happens if you can’t come?

  • If there is at least 1 months’ notice to your event, we can discuss an alternative DJ or vendor for your event. If you choose a different vendor, any payment up to this point will be refunded 100% to you.

  • In the event I am personally unable to perform with less than 1 weeks’ notice, I will find a replacement amongst my DJ contacts to work your event and make sure he or she can play to your tastes.

  • For cancellations due to weather, unsafe conditions, or other reasons not related to myself, we can discuss a reschedule if I am not already on site. In the event of a cancellation when I am making my way over or arrived, no refunds are available.

Can we rent equipment without a DJ?

Yes. Some events don’t really require a DJ or already have one, so asking me for gear is perfectly workable. Need just an iPod on shuffle but don’t want to build playlists? I can create custom playlists suited for autoplay for you for a reduced fee.

Why is the rate different for different types of events? (ex. Wedding vs. Corporate)

I provide flexible levels of service depending on your budget and event expectations. There is a lot of pre-show preparation that most clients don't see, and there may be additional equipment used on the day to fit a client's needs for their event.

Playmochi's Skills

How long have you been a DJ and how many events have you done?

I learned how to DJ in 2012, and performed publicly in the same year. I have done over 70 unique event performances (weddings and so on) with about double that unrecorded in my files such as cash performances, small house parties, and other private events.

What makes you different?

  • I give great service by being polite, conscientious, and flexible.

  • I take pride in giving your wishes full attention, playing the songs you want while adding my own flair to the playlist to keep your guests entertained.

  • I am knowledgeable in many aspects of partying, such as how sound and lighting work, having an eye for aesthetics in your venue, and general knowledge about what makes people have a good time.

Can you emcee?

I have not had much experience emceeing events, though I have been practicing during my own events. I won’t be a true Master of Ceremonies that will wow your crowd, but I can get people going in the right direction with a few words.

How involved can we be in selecting music?

You can be as involved as you like, or take no part in choosing the music. For best performance you should name a dozen songs or more for me to build a musical profile.

At the very least, you can let me know what kind of music you like (general genres are fine). If you’re hands off though, I will play whatever I deem is best for your guests on the day itself.

When do we need to submit music requests and event details?

  • You should submit your event details latest 1 month before your event.

  • You can complete your music requests up until 2 weeks before the event, but sooner is better as I do need to practice your special requests.

  • Submissions later than the deadlines may result in a less-than-ideal performance due to other work.

Do you take requests from guests?

In almost all cases, yes! I enjoy playing for the people. However I reserve the right to choose which requests I play; you hired me to pick the music for your event after all.

 

 
 

The Booking Process

 
 

Part 1: Initial Talk

  • You can Whatsapp, e-mail, or use the quotation form to begin.

  • We work out your needs online, or I can meet you for a discussion.

  • Once solidified, I provide a quotation for the rental and/or hire.

Part 2: Confirmation

  • Once you agree to the quotation, an itemized invoice will be sent.

  • A deposit of 50% is required to confirm your booking.

    • This deposit is usually non-refundable - however, shifting dates is acceptable.

 
 

Part 3: Knowing Your Crowd

  • If you are just renting equipment, skip to part 4.

  • If you are hiring a DJ, I will provide a form to learn about who is coming.

  • We can talk about your itinerary, floor plan, or any other details.

  • Work begins on custom playlists based on your preferences.

 
 

Step 4: Final Payment

  • Please remit payment 7 days before the event, or before setup time on the day.

Step 5: Showtime!

  • On event day, the crew will arrive early to set up equipment (if hired). The DJ (usually me) will arrive after it is done for sound check.

  • Everything should be ready 1 hour before guests arrive.

  • Crew meals are generally taken during this 1 hour period.

  • Generally a sound/lighting coordinator will be around to assist in ensuring a smooth, lovely event experience.

Step 6: Post-Event

  • Once the event is over, I’ll pack up and say my goodbyes. Hopefully I can catch you in time to chat about the event or relive some of the best moments.

  • After about a week or two I’ll send over an online review form to get your feedback for improvement.
