At Groovy Sound Productions, we provide quality and value at a reasonable price. We often lose business to guys that put a LOW number in front of a prospective client and then charge extra money for the things that we feel should be included in the price.

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of DJing another Bridal Fashion Show at Lasting Bridal Couture in Addison.

We started at 6:30pm but we had a full house by 6pm. Just enough seats so please RSVP for the January 7th Fashion show.

Delicious Cakes brought a cake to taste and Paul opened up a few bottles of ... Read More

Some of our clients ask about our music library (I like to call them Music assets since we spend money on them and we own them) and how current we keep our collection. There are several subscription services where we purchase music and music videos: Promo Only, ERG, and Funkymix. Those companies require that you are a working DJ and provide proof in order to subscribe.

In addition, I purchase music from Strictly Hits, 9 Inch Remix, Beatport, Amazon.com, Best Buy, several used CD record shop... Read More
