About Me

My real name is Courtney Hercules.

I am;

 

Professional. Approachable. Ready for Anything.
 

When you book me;

 

You’ll quickly realise you’re in safe hands. Whether you want me turning up in black-tie elegance, a reindeer onesie, or a full K-Pop takeover — I’m your guy.
I play all music - but need to state, 80s & 90s classics to R&B, Garage, House, Afrobeat's, Dancehall, Club Classics, Rock, Indie, Reggaeton, Pop and with enough notice, anything else. Even whimsical ballroom Bridgeton styles! 

My motto? “You name it, I play it.”
 

Music In My Blood

I grew up in a family of professional musicians — session musicians to icons like George Michael, Anastasia, Beverley Knight, Leona Lewis, The Lighthouse Family and Annie Lennox. One cousin may even be on tour with Ashanti, Boy George, Stormzy, Rita Ora or Ed Sheeran as you’re reading this.

I truly believe music is my vocation and one of the biggest compliments I get (that you can verify on my Google page) is how into it I am, as I want to continue delivering successful nights. 
 

Since 1999, I’ve DJ’d professionally (and have been playing instruments since the early 90s). Today I perform for private clients, celebrities and international brands, with bookings from intimate celebrations to 3,000-person student events at King’s College London.
 

Celebrity highlights include sets with Teddy Sheringham and Beverley Knight, and in 2025 I had the honour of leading chants for Strictly Come Dancing winner Karen Carney at BBC Elstree.
If you spot Tess Daly jumping to a Rihanna mega mix on my socials — yes, that was me! 

A DJ Who Listens

You’ll always feel listened to & looked after.


I pride myself on clear communication, fast responses, and keeping your event stress-free.

Booking me is simple:

  1. Small deposit to secure the date

  2. A chat about your vision & guests

  3. Choose the equipment & your music preferences

  4. Send a playlist, a spreadsheet, a Spotify link — or let me read the room on the night

  5. Full payment before or on the day via transfer/cash. 
     

 

 

Remember, I tailor every set to your crowd. Kids? Grandparents? 40th birthday with the old University crew? I’ll set the right tone at the right moment — never Drum & Bass at 7pm unless it’s EXACTLY what the room needs. Examples include -

''Let me feel like its the early 2000s listening to Trevor Nelson on MTV Base'' 
''We haven't seen each other in a while, can you keep the music low until dinner and then get everyone going'' 
''Start with the 80s, move into the club classics and then just keep it lighthearted'' 
''Can you play whimsical ballroom music for the first hour, tunes from the movie sound track & then songs for the ladies'' 

I always say yes - and then I deliver. 

Touring & Creative Work

2026 sees me spinning worldwide — from Oregon in USA, to Mykonos in Greece to Antalya in Turkey, plus collaborations with the Jim Henson Company & Thamescon, bringing iconic films like Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Short Circuit, The Muppets and The Goonies to life with exclusive ’80s-only sets.
 

There may even be appearances at Eden Ibiza and the Amsterdam Dance Event — watch my socials for updates as these gigs get confirmed. 
 

I’m also releasing original music across multiple genres in 2026 — and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Beyond the Decks

I manage and present at Subjam Radio, scouting the freshest talent and hosting artists every other Wednesday.

My own weekly show runs Friday 18:00 - 20:00, showcasing the full spectrum of dance and electronic music in my own energetic - ALL GAS NO BREAKS style.  

Previous Subjam alumni include legends like DJ EZ and Majestic (Kiss FM & TalkSport) — good company to keep and take inspiration from. 

If you have a budding DJ in your network - my extensive musical experience and nerd like wonder for music theory enables me to teach complex subjects in simple ways. If you would like DJ lessons, please reach out to me to discuss availability. 

The Promise

I bring:
✔ Professionalism backed by decades of experience
✔ Musical knowledge rooted in real musicianship 
✔ Personal warmth and energy
✔ A genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments

 

Every booking is more than a gig — it’s an opportunity to entertain, connect, and become your go-to DJ for life.

A Couple of Favours

To keep the party vibes alive long after the night ends:
• I may bring a content creator — social media helps future clients see the energy we create (I will ask beforehand)
• Please leave a Google review if you loved the set (it means the world) 
• Tag me in your videos — singing, dancing, screaming lyrics — I love them all!

Let’s Make Your Event Legendary

My standard equipment includes top of the range Pioneer decks and 3 speakers, a DJ booth, 2 moving head lights, smoke machine, dancefloors and a marquee if we are outside.

But, if you need something else, I have access to both the wonderful and bizarre, a giant inflatable Octopus? An igloo to host 150 guests? 

No matter the crowd, no matter the theme — we’ll build the soundtrack together.


See you on the dancefloor.
