WEDDING DJ AT THE BARBICAN

A Transatlantic Celebration: Natasha & Justin’s Wedding at The Barbican

Few wedding venues in London can match the striking beauty of The Barbican. With its iconic Brutalist architecture and lush conservatory, this venue is as unique as they come. It’s always a pleasure to DJ here, and Natasha & Justin’s October wedding was a night to remember.

Justin, originally from the U.S., and Natasha, who spent time living in Australia, had a guest list that brought together a vibrant mix of cultures and musical influences. Their wedding soundtrack reflected this perfectly—blending timeless classics, modern pop, Aussie indie, and U.S. hip-hop for an eclectic, high-energy party that had something for everyone.

From the outset, this was all about bringing people together on the dancefloor. The couple opted not to go for a formal first dance, instead kicking things off with an all-in moment as the party started straight away. The mix of guests meant the music needed to hit a wide range of tastes, and we pulled out everything from Fleetwood Mac and The Killers to OutKast and Beyoncé. A heavy dose of Aussie legends like Tame Impala and Empire of the Sun gave a nod to Natasha’s time in Australia, while Justin made sure there was a strong showing of classic hip-hop and U.S. singalongs.

As the drinks flowed and the dancefloor packed out, we built up the tempo with house anthems and indie classics, keeping the energy high throughout the night. The final stretch saw an epic singalong to Daft Punk’s ‘One More Time’, bringing the night to an unforgettable close.

Big Tunes That Worked:

  • Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream – Aussie classic, went down a storm.

  • Fleetwood Mac – Everywhere – Pure feel-good vibes.

  • OutKast – Hey Ya! – Never fails to get people moving.

  • Jay-Z & Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind – A nod to the groom’s U.S. roots.

  • The Killers – Mr. Brightside – Still one of the most unstoppable wedding anthems.

Curveballs That Worked:

  • Tame Impala – The Less I Know The Better – A rare wedding choice but got a massive reaction.

  • The Avalanches – Since I Left You – Unexpected but fit the mood perfectly.

  • Blink-182 – All the Small Things – Mid-00s pop-punk moment that had everyone jumping.

  • Notorious B.I.G. – Mo Money Mo Problems – A hip-hop classic that got a huge response.

  • RÜFÜS DU SOL – Innerbloom – One for the late-night deep house heads.
