Our midnight slot was flatlining. He read it in one record and had the room packed by half twelve — didn't lose them once.

/ About
Reading the floor, not the tracklist.
Shevan Faraj-Lavado is a London-based DJ working the space between rolling house and melodic techno. The sets are built live — no pre-baked USB, no autopilot — tracking the room from the first warm-up record to the 3am moment everyone came for.
Five years of residencies, warehouse takeovers and festival slots have shaped one instinct: keep the energy honest. Whether it's a 200-cap basement in Dalston or a main room off Leicester Square, the brief is the same — make people forget their phones.

The Full-Floor Guarantee
If the floor is dead by peak time, the set fee is refunded — no questions. That's how sure I am the room stays moving.
/ What promoters say
Nights that turned.
Booked him last-minute when a headliner dropped. Honestly the best save we've had — the floor didn't notice a thing.
Mara — events lead, private members' club
First all-nighter we've done where the closing hour was busier than the peak. Rebooked him for three dates on the spot.

/ FAQ
Before you book.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to six weeks is ideal for weekends, but last-minute slots do open up — send the date and I'll confirm availability within 48 hours.
Do you travel outside London?
Yes. London and the South East are covered at the rates shown; anywhere further, travel and any overnight are added to the quote up front — no surprises.
Do you bring your own equipment?
I play off my own USBs and plug into the club's setup (CDJs + mixer). If the venue has no rig, I can arrange hire and fold it into the quote.
What about a deposit?
A 30% deposit holds the date, with the balance due on the night. The deposit is covered by the Full-Floor Guarantee like the rest of the fee.
