Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Mülheim an der Ruhr

DJ Mülheim an der Ruhr · Riverbank, pipes and districts

Between Styrum, Saarn and the Ruhrpromenade: music that fits your celebration.

Mülheim lies so close between Essen and Duisburg that guest lists often come together from three cities, and the taste at the table is usually just as mixed. I am Michael Zimmermann, and I build the evening from what works for your guests, from a quiet start to a full dance floor. We clarify beforehand by phone or video call how it should sound.

Around Mülheim

A city on the river, pipes and gardens.

Mülheim is a city on the river in which the pipe works of Thyssen and Mannesmann long shaped its image. Today just under 172,000 people live here in three districts, on both sides of the Ruhr, and the town has held city rights since 1808.

Whether you celebrate in Saarn, Styrum, Speldorf or in one of the neighboring cities, just tell me where you are headed. Essen, Duisburg, Oberhausen and Ratingen are also part of my service area.

About me

A mix that carries all generations.

I learned my craft in the nightclub, where only what moves the people in front of the booth counts. Since then, more than 1450 events have come together, including over 650 weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from the living room to the big hall.

What I deliver is shown by my 60 Google reviews with an average rating of 5.0. Before a celebration begins, I want to know who is coming, how old the guests are and which songs absolutely have to play that evening.

As a workshop leader at DJ Allianz e.V., I pass on knowledge about transitions and reading a dance floor. That resonates in a city where neighbors from the workshop, administration and university sit at the same 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 for Mülheim an der Ruhr?

Music, sound system, lighting and, if you like, announcements: I bring everything myself, whichever district you are celebrating in. You decide the schedule of the evening, and I carry it out.

Where else in the Ruhr area do you play if we are not celebrating directly in Mülheim?

All Mülheim districts, plus Essen, Duisburg, Oberhausen, Ratingen and Velbert. Tell me the location and I will know right away whether it works.

How early should we contact you?

As soon as your date is set, because popular Saturdays go quickly. You will hear from me within 24 hours whether your date is still free.

Our guests come from several cities and listen to very different music: how does a shared mix work?

I start with songs that are known across generations and open up the mix step by step. What should not be played at your event, you enter in advance.

And what if the technology fails in the middle of your party?

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

How does an enquiry work?

A form or a call is all it takes. I get back to you within 24 hours, we get to know each other in a relaxed video call, and then you receive your personal offer.

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.
