Christmas party

Christmas Party DJ. A club night with the whole team.

I play clubs on three continents, festivals like Parookaville and corporate events as far as Las Vegas. At your Christmas party that means: quiet over dinner, then a dance floor like a good night out.

Raphael Nuevo as DJ, Christmas Party DJ

DJ for your Christmas party in NRW and across Germany

I come from the club: 30 clubs on three continents, Parookaville 2025, my own afro house edits in the SoundCloud Top 3. I bring that sound to your Christmas party, translated for a room where forty years lie between the youngest and the oldest guest. Songs everyone knows, in versions nobody has heard like that: pop, rock, urban, house and the classics the whole room sings along to.

The evening usually has three parts. Arrival with mulled wine or an aperitif, music as backdrop. Dinner, a speech from management, maybe an award: I deliver on cue and stay out of the way otherwise. Then the party, and it can feel like a club night. You get one contact for music, timing and tech.

Based in Dortmund, 60 minutes from Düsseldorf, Cologne and Essen. Germany-wide and international.

Which Christmas parties I play

Company Christmas party

From a team of 40 to a party with several hundred guests. The set grows with the room.

Christmas gala

Reception, dinner, programme, party: four levels, one DJ, no break in the evening.

Client event in Advent

For clients and partners at the end of the year. First music you can talk over, later a reason to stay longer.

With live musicians

Sax and drums with the DJ set, like at Parookaville 2025. A moment your guests film.

New year kick-off in January

If you would rather celebrate after the holidays: same flow, Christmas songs only if you want them.

How it works

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Date, venue, guest count and playing time into the form. Personal reply, followed by a concrete quote.

  2. 02

    Briefing

    A short call: running order, speech, raffle, musical direction, no-gos and who your contact on the night is.

  3. 03

    Running order

    You get a timing plan with every cue, aligned with the venue and the tech team.

  4. 04

    The party

    Setup and soundcheck before doors, music from the first mulled wine to the last song.

Tech and venue

Many Christmas parties take place in a restaurant, a hotel or your own hall, often with a sound system already there. I play through the in-house tech or bring my own setup. What the venue provides and what I bring, we sort out in the briefing. Backup equipment and a fallback plan are part of every corporate event for me.

Live musicians can join on request: sax, drums or vocals. You book everything through me, one invoice, one contact.

What a DJ for a Christmas party costs

Three things set the price: playing time including setup and soundcheck, travel, and scope, meaning whether live musicians and my own tech come along or I play through the venue's system.

Travel costs are a separate line in the quote. The quote follows your enquiry, with every item listed.

Booker questions.

Do you play Christmas songs?
If you want them, yes. A few classics in new versions fit well during arrival; on the dance floor the room decides. How much Christmas goes into the music, we settle in the briefing. Some teams want exactly that, others none of it.
Isn't a club DJ too niche for a company party?
No. The club teaches you to read a room and keep a floor full, whoever is standing in front of you. At a company party I play more accessibly, with more songs everyone knows. Corporate events for Telekom, Deutsche Bahn and BVB are in my calendar just like clubs and festivals.
How do you get different age groups onto the dance floor?
I start with songs that work across generations and watch who reacts. Only once the floor is full does it get more specific. That way trainees and management stay on the floor at the same time instead of taking turns.
Do you play quietly over dinner and for dancing later?
Yes, that is the norm. Quiet enough over dinner to talk, the party after the programme. The change does not happen with a switch but over an hour in which level and tempo rise until the first tables are empty.
What does a DJ for a Christmas party cost?
It depends on playing time, travel and scope: setup, live musicians, my own tech or the venue's system. Travel costs are a separate line in the quote. Send me date, venue and guest count and you get a personal reply and a concrete quote instead of a price list.
When should we enquire about a DJ for the Christmas party?
As soon as date and venue are set. Then I can tell you whether the date is free, and there is time for briefing and running order. Short-notice enquiries are fine too, just write to me.
Do you bring your own tech or play through the venue's system?
Both work. Many restaurants and hotels have a system; then I play through it and only bring my setup. Where there is nothing, I bring the tech. What is needed, we clarify in the briefing.
Who registers the party with GEMA?
GEMA registration is the organiser's responsibility. I provide the details you need. For in-house teams I am happy to go through the form with you once.
Do you play outside Dortmund?
Yes. Based in Dortmund, 60 minutes to Düsseldorf, Cologne, Essen. Germany-wide and international. Travel costs are a separate line in the quote.
