Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Krefeld

DJ Krefeld · Velvet, Silk and the Rhine

From Uerdingen to Hüls: music that suits your celebration.

Velvet and silk made Krefeld famous, and a well-woven evening sounds much the same: the tracks interlock closely, with no place to stumble. I am Michael Zimmermann, and I mix for weddings, company parties and birthdays in the city and around the Lower Rhine. What you want to hear, we discuss beforehand by phone or video call.

Around Krefeld

A city on the Rhine, woven from silk.

The nickname City of Velvet and Silk dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, when Krefeld, alongside Lyon and Zurich, was one of the centres of the European silk industry. Today well over 230,000 people live in five city boroughs and 19 districts, and the city area stretches across Uerdingen to the Rhine.

If you celebrate in Linn, in Hüls or in a neighbouring town on the Lower Rhine, just tell me the location. Meerbusch, Willich, Viersen and Moers are also part of my service area.

About me

Music that fits every occasion.

I learned in the nightclub that all that counts is what moves the people in front of the booth. That has grown into over 1450 events, including more than 650 weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from living rooms to large halls.

How I work is shown by 60 Google reviews with an average of 5.0 stars. Before I take on a celebration, I want to know who is coming, how old the guests are and which songs belong to that evening.

At the DJ Allianz e.V. I lead workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. Both help in a city where club groups, colleagues and extended families like to celebrate at one table.

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 do I get when I book a DJ in Krefeld?

I take care of the music, sound system, lighting and, if you like, the announcements for the programme items, whichever district you celebrate in. You decide how the evening runs, and I put it into practice.

Which towns on the Lower Rhine do you cover?

All districts of Krefeld, plus places such as Willich, Meerbusch, Viersen and Moers. Just tell me where your celebration takes place.

How early should I enquire?

As soon as the date is set, because popular Saturdays go first. I will let you know within 24 hours whether your date is still free.

How do I combine the music requests of many guests?

At celebrations with family, colleagues and club members, I choose tracks that go down well across age groups and tastes, and I widen the mix step by step. Anything you do not want to hear, you note down beforehand.

What happens if a device fails?

A second complete setup with a backup computer is ready. If something fails, I switch over and the music does not stop.

How does an inquiry work?

By form or phone call, 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 you receive your personal quote.

Is your date already set?

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

Even more options

DJ+: Live musicians within the running mix.

If a DJ set is not enough for you, live musicians from my network join in. They come in between two tracks and fade back into the programme, whether you celebrate in a hall, a large venue or a garden. We choose together who plays.

Reception · Opening dance

DJ + saxophone

A saxophone over calm beats gives the reception warmth and turns the first dance into a small performance.

Singer with a microphone in backlight 02

Entrance · Surprise

DJ + vocals

A singer accompanies the entrance into the hall or catches the birthday guest of honour exactly when they least expect it.

Percussionist on congas in backlight 03

Late evening · Dance floor

DJ + percussion

Drums and percussion drive the late evening, when everyone should get moving after the meal.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

The violin accompanies a standing reception or the meal and gives the evening a festive setting in a hall, foyer or garden.
