Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Mönchengladbach

DJ Mönchengladbach · Abteiberg, Rheydt and Niers

From the Abteiberg to Odenkirchen: music that suits your celebration.

Where spinning mills and weaving mills once set the pace, people now celebrate between the Münsterkirche, the Borussia-Park and the university, and the guest lists are just as mixed: football fans, students, long-standing locals from Rheydt. I am Michael Zimmermann, and I build the evening from whatever works for your guests. We settle how it should sound beforehand, by phone or in a video call.

Around Mönchengladbach

City of weavers, city on the Abteiberg.

Mönchengladbach lies on the left bank of the Lower Rhine and has around 267,000 residents in four city districts and 44 neighbourhoods. For more than a century the textile industry shaped the city's rise; today it is the university, retail and the football at the Borussia-Park.

Whether you are celebrating in the old town at the Alter Markt, in Rheydt, Odenkirchen or in a neighbouring town such as Viersen, Korschenbroich and Neuss, just tell me the location. Willich, Jüchen and Grevenbroich are also part of my service area.

About me

Mixing until every generation dances.

I learned my craft in the nightclub, where the dance floor alone decides. That has grown into over 1450 events, including more than 650 weddings as well as company evenings and birthdays in halls, venues and living rooms.

60 Google reviews with a rating of 5.0 give an impression of my work. Before any planning, I ask who is coming, how old they are and which songs absolutely have to be played that evening.

At the DJ Allianz e.V. I run workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. In a city where university students, fans from the Borussia-Park and families from the old weaving villages celebrate together, that pays off every evening.

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 if I book you as a DJ for Mönchengladbach?

I take care of the music, sound system, lighting and, if you wish, the announcements, whether you are celebrating in Rheydt or on the Abteiberg. You set the framework, I put it into practice.

How far around the city do you play?

All districts of Mönchengladbach, plus places such as Viersen, Korschenbroich, Willich or Neuss. Just tell me where your celebration is taking place.

When should I get in touch?

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

How do you get football fans, students and grandparents onto the dance floor together?

I start with tracks that every age group knows and widen the mix step by step. Anything you do not want to hear, you tell me beforehand.

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

A complete second setup with a spare laptop is ready. If something fails, I switch over and the music keeps playing.

How does an enquiry work?

Via the form or by phone. 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 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 right in the middle of my mix.

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They perform between two tracks and fit into the schedule, whether in the hall, the beer garden or the foyer. We choose the line-up together.

Saxophonist in warm backlight 01

Reception · Opening dance

DJ + saxophone

A saxophone over calm beats makes the reception warmer and gives the opening dance the stature of a real performance.

Singer with a microphone in backlight 02

Entrance · Surprise

DJ + vocals

A voice leads you into the hall or catches the birthday guest at the moment 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 the standing reception or the meal and gives the evening a festive feel in the hall, foyer or garden.
