Michael Zimmermann at the DJ desk, DJ for Duisburg

DJ Duisburg · Rhine, Ruhr and harbour

Between Ruhrort, Rheinhausen and Hamborn: music that fits your celebration.

Duisburg is a city where families from all over the world live door to door, and the celebrations are usually just as colourfully mixed. I am Michael Zimmermann, and I build the evening from what lands with your guests, from a relaxed start to a full dance floor. We will talk about how it should sound beforehand by phone or video call.

What is coming up in Duisburg?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: open the card that fits your event in Duisburg or on the Lower Rhine.

Wedding

DJ Hochzeit Duisburg

Whether a hall by the harbour basin, an inn in the countryside or a hall among old machines: the music accompanies you from the reception to the last dance.

Company party

DJ Firmenevent Duisburg

Summer party, anniversary or Christmas party: with the right music, office, workshop and warehouse come together on the same dance floor.

From the big thirtieth to the seventieth with the whole family: the music follows your guests and your taste.

Around Duisburg

City on the water, harbour of the world.

In Duisburg the Ruhr flows into the Rhine, and this is where the harbours lie that are regarded as the largest inland port in the world. About 500,000 people live in seven boroughs and 46 districts, and in 2009 the city received the title Ort der Vielfalt (Place of Diversity).

Whether you celebrate in Ruhrort, Rheinhausen, Hamborn or a neighbouring town on the Lower Rhine, just name the place. Mülheim an der Ruhr, Oberhausen, Moers and Dinslaken are also part of my service area.

About me

Music that reaches every table.

I learned my craft in the nightclub, where all that counts is what moves the people in front of the decks. By now I have over 1,450 events behind me, including more than 650 weddings as well as company evenings and birthdays from the living room to the big hall.

My 60 Google reviews with an average rating of 5.0 tell you how I work. Before every celebration, I want to know who is coming, how old the guests are and which songs must not be missing that evening.

At the DJ Allianz e.V., I run workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. In a city where many languages and musical styles meet at the same table, that is exactly what is needed.

Services

Everything included.

Sound and lighting for rooms of up to about 150 guests, wireless microphones for speeches and backup equipment come to every party. On request I add uplights, a photo booth, an audio guest book or live music to the DJ set. We discuss the schedule and music calmly beforehand, so that nothing is left open on the day itself.

What is included when I book you as a DJ in Duisburg?

I take care of the music, sound system, lighting and, if you wish, the announcements, no matter which borough you celebrate in. You decide how the evening should go, and I make it happen.

Which places on the Lower Rhine are part of my service area?

All seven Duisburg boroughs, plus towns such as Mülheim an der Ruhr, Oberhausen, Moers and Dinslaken. Just tell me where your celebration takes place.

When should I get in touch?

As soon as the date is fixed, because popular Saturdays go quickly. I will tell you within 24 hours whether your date is still free.

How do I find music that suits all the guests?

With mixed groups, I rely on songs that are known across language and age boundaries, and widen the mix bit by bit. Whatever you do not want to hear at all, you tell me beforehand.

What happens if the equipment fails in the middle of the evening?

A complete second setup including a backup computer is ready. If a device fails, I switch over and the music keeps playing.

How does the enquiry work?

Via the form or by phone, no matter where you celebrate. I get back to you within 24 hours, we get to know each other in a no-obligation video call, and then your personal offer is ready.

Is your date already set?

Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.

Even more options

DJ+ – live musicians right in the middle of my mix.

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They join in between two songs and blend into the flow, no matter whether you celebrate in a hall, a large venue or a garden. We choose the line-up together.

Entrance · Surprise

A voice leads you into the hall or surprises the birthday guest at exactly the moment they least expect it.

Percussionist on congas in backlight 03

Late evening · Dance floor

DJ + percussion

Drums and rhythm instruments heat up the late evening when everyone should get moving after the meal.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

The violin plays at the standing reception or during the meal and gives the evening a festive feel in the hall, foyer or garden.
