The party took place at Innlodge Portsmouth, a popular venue for birthdays, weddings, and private events in the area. With a dedicated function space and plenty of room for a dancefloor, it’s ideal for creating that proper party atmosphere.
For this event, I provided a full DJ setup including sound and lighting, tailored to the room to make sure the energy built naturally throughout the night. From the moment guests arrived, the aim was simple — keep the dancefloor busy and the music flowing.
Working Alongside a Saxophonist – DJ & Sax Combo
One of the standout parts of this 40th birthday party was working alongside a live saxophonist Andron Sax
Adding a sax player to a DJ set creates a completely different vibe. It brings a live performance element that guests don’t expect, and it really lifts key moments throughout the night. From chilled early evening tracks to high-energy dancefloor fillers, the sax layered perfectly over the music.
Working closely with other suppliers is always a big part of what I do. Making sure timings, song choices, and transitions all line up is what turns a good night into a great one.
A Packed Dancefloor All Night
The goal for any 40th birthday party DJ set is simple — keep people dancing. This night delivered exactly that.
With a mix of requested songs and crowd favourites, the dancefloor stayed busy from start to finish. Having a strong playlist from the client always helps, but reading the room and building the energy is what keeps everyone involved.
From singalong classics to party anthems, the music was tailored throughout the night to suit the crowd and keep the atmosphere high.
