OK, so if there is one thing that really grinds my gears its other DJ's who insist on placing a testimonials page on their website, beleive me once the party's over the guests go home and usually unless you gain a re-booking that's the last you hear of the night, oh sure yes of course people will go home and say that Disco was great or that was a rubbish DJ etc....but who really go's home logs into their email and sits there writing a personal email to the DJ....trust me it rarely happens, I think in 20 years now I have had maybe two letters and a handfull of emails, re-bookings are always welcome, but usually once the party is over, and the guests and client have gone home, the only thing they are worrying about is the hangover the next day.
Recently I was browsing the internet for other local Disco companies and it was interesting to stumble across the website of www.jsmobilediscos.co.uk/, now as we don't know this group I was skeptical to their claims and also to their pictures, a few clicks later and it was soon discovered the website was indeed a generic site produced by the Wix website maker, not only that but it was full of fake pictures and false testimonials, most of these seem to have been generated by the template the guy had used, I had to ask myself what kind of Professional DJ uses a template with pictures that are not only not theirs but stock photos used on thousands of other websites, I found exactly the same layout on at least ten other sites and Google revealed the pictures where all stock photo's from an American website called Wix http://www.wix.com/ .
I had to ask myself as a potential client would I be taken in by this obvious deception, or is this just a guy trying to market his services but obviously decided for whatever reason to use someone else's pictures and stock shots, a little more digging discovered that the testimonials where also all fake....tut tut, personally i don't feel lying to your potential client and putting on this false front is a good business plan at all.
So what is my point here....mainly the fact that with Atlantic Sound Disco's your be getting exactly what it says on the tin, we are a real locally based DJ and Disco service, we don't use stock photo's of our shows, what you see is really us, we have several different setups from a full retro roadshow to the latest digital setup with thousands of top tracks and the weekly chart download, we are the real deal and will be for many years to come.
You maybe interested to know how to find out if the website your looking at is using real pictures of the actual show, DJ or entertainer that may turn up (or not) so here go's, firstly find a picture on the website in question, right click on it and select view image, in the case I talked of above it took me directly to the image on the Wix web builder site, which obviously told me that these are not this guys photo's, see here then right click again on the photo and select inspect element, this will give you the raw data about the picture, where the image is stored and its upload times etc..., next drag the image into a new window and drop it in the Google images tab, this will then determine who else is using the same images, and often show who the original owner is, simple as that.
Its worth noting that although theeir is obviously nothing illegal about using stock photos I feel really its just deceiving the client into thinking they are getting a setup that they never will, it also usually means the DJ in question has either pretty bad equipment or is subbing out the jobs as a front man and isn't even a DJ at all, with Atlantic Sound Discos your getting Atlantic Sound Discos.....I look forward to hearing from you soon..

Here is Some of our real pictures..;-)
We also have Marquee and Dance-floors available to hire , here you can see the chequered style dance-floor which is sectional and can be easily setup in most areas.
This setup was in aid of raising funds for the local football team, although not a large setup the sound was awesome, we used uplighters along the presentation table and of course supplied radio microphones for the announcer...
Most modern Disco systems are computer driven now days, we use the system developed by OTSAV in Australia, its served us well and is very reliable, some DJ's use Virtual DJ which is also an excellent system for the remixing DJ.
And as you can see the Dance Floor was jamming all night, events like this make me happy to be a DJ and entertainer as you can feed off the atmosphere, it certainly was a great night...
