What do you provide?
BT Music provides fantastic DJs and Emcees that will insure your event will be a great success. We provide the audio and lighting equipment necessary to do this in a fun and safe manner for all those involved. Adequate staff is used with separate DJs, Emcees, and Light Jockeys. We are a premier service, with the resources to help you put on a great dance.

What will you play?
We have a very extensive library of music that include the newest radio promos, exclusive club re-mixes, and over 8,000 songs both new and old. Our DJs are experienced playing to diverse crowds and can select hits from a large variety of music styles. As a member of several professional music pools, we receive the both the club re-mixes and the clean radio ready versions.

What kind of lighting do you use?
We use fully computerized scanners complimented by traditional fixtures for simply amazing light displays. Intelligent lighting provides us with the flexibility to keep the light show constantly changing and avoids becoming stale after the first hour. Traditional lights such as Par cans for color washing, Black lights for UV effects, and mirror balls provide the abidance needed to transform your venue into a colorful landscape. Additional features such as rotating gobos, creative trussing, custom logos, and video projection can also be used to bring even more excitement to your event.

Light Displays

Do you use lasers?
No, however we can subcontract these services if needed. We do not feel that 5mw consumer grade red or green lasers have the impact to be of any merit for a public performance. We do however have intelligent lighting effects that can emulate the effects of high power lasers without the safety issues and variance costs.

Do you use Fog?
Yes. We highly recommend atmospheric effects for any event. We use both foggers and hazers but do require a signed release agreeing to compatibility with your venue's fire system. Fog releases thick bursts of smoke, while Haze is a more subtle effect that applies to a much larger area.

What kind of sound system do you use?
We stock a large inventory of modular matching components, so we can put together systems for small, medium, and large events. All of our dance systems use subwoofers with active processing, a key element in dance sound. Our typical dance setup for under 1000 guests consists of (4) 15" Mid/High Speakers surrounding the dance floor and an array of (6) 15" subwoofers. Lighting consists of (2) 10' T bars with (4) computer controled scanning lights.
