About the job
A message from Kiko TanePosted 21st October 2025Lena and Marcus came up from Melbourne to get married on the harbour, and they gave me one brief: open with disco, close with house, and never let the floor go quiet.
We started the planning call with their must plays and a short do not play list (no Nutbush, at Marcus's request). I built a custom edit of their first dance that drops from the slow version of the song into a house remix halfway through. They had no idea it was coming until it hit, and the whole room went with them.
Aria Blake's trio played the ceremony and drinks, so I picked up straight from their last piece. The floor filled before mains were even cleared and stayed full until the 11pm curfew. Gunners has a strict sound limit, so I ran everything through a limiter all night and kept it lively without a single word from the venue.
