DJ KIM · LIVEAt the decks at Hammerzz, Goa01 — WHY BRANDS BOOK HER
What a fashion show DJ should bring to your show
Scored to the show, not a playlist
As a runway DJ and producer, DJ Kim makes original scoring and custom edits to your brief. The music is built around your run of show, from the first walk to the finale, so it lands on each cue instead of fading out mid-track while the last look is still on the catwalk.
A defined sound your brand can own
Melodic techno and afro house: warm and rhythmic for arrivals and slower moments, driving and melodic where the show needs lift. Your brief sets the direction within that sound, so the soundtrack feels made for your collection or product rather than borrowed from a generic runway playlist.
Hear the sound →Twenty years of reading rooms
500+ shows in 24 countries, including Ministry of Sound and Egg London, Pulse in Dubai, and Hammerzz and Raeeth in Goa, with a 4.9 promoter rating. Once the show is over, the after-party set is selected live off the floor, never pre-planned.
About DJ Kim →02 — FORMATS
Runway, launch and brand activation sets
Runway and catwalk shows
Available as a catwalk DJ or fashion week DJ for shows, presentations and standalone runways. The show section is scored and edited to your walk timings and looks, played from USB on Pioneer CDJ-3000s, with an arrivals or after-party set around it if you want one.
Rider and press kit →Product launches and launch parties
As a product launch DJ, she scores the reveal, speeches and key moments to your run of show, then turns the room into a launch party with afro house building into melodic techno. For company parties and awards nights, see the corporate events page.
Corporate events →Brand activations and campaign sets
Book her as a brand activation DJ for pop-ups and campaign moments, or as the brand event DJ for the whole night: campaign sets and custom edits produced to brief, in one defined sound. Set lengths are bespoke and agreed in advance, from a short scored moment to a full evening.
All services →03 — THE PROCESS
From brief to runway: what happens when
Every show is different, so lead times and set lengths are agreed in advance. This is the order the work runs in, and what you send at each stage.

|---|---|---|---|
| Brief | You share the concept, the collection or product story and the mood you want. You hear back on availability; fees are quoted per booking. | Date, city, venue, brief or moodboard, reference tracks | At enquiry; reply within two working days |
| Music direction | DJ Kim proposes a direction within melodic techno and afro house and how the sound moves through the show. | Feedback on the direction | Agreed in advance |
| Scoring and custom edits | Original scoring and edits produced to your run of show: opening, walk sections, reveal or finale, designer bow. | Run of show, walk timings, number of looks, cue points | Agreed in advance |
| Technical advance | The signed-off rider is checked against the venue's sound and booth set-up with your production team. | Venue tech spec, booth position, sound engineer contact | Before show day, agreed in advance |
| Rehearsal | A run-through with production if booked, so the edits are checked against the real walk and any changes agreed. | A rehearsal slot in the production schedule | As scheduled by production |
| Show and after-party | The scored show section is played to cue, then an arrivals or after-party set if booked, selected live. | Final run of show | Show day |

Booking Questions
ANSWERED PLAINLYWhat does a fashion show DJ do?
A fashion show DJ plays to the run of show rather than to a dance floor. DJ Kim produces original scoring and custom edits to your brief, timed to the walk, the looks, any reveal and the finale, so the music hits each cue. She can then play the arrivals or after-party set too.
How long should the DJ play at a fashion show?
It depends on the format. The scored runway section follows your number of looks and walk timings, while arrivals and after-party sets run longer. Brand and fashion set lengths are bespoke and agreed in advance, so send your run of show and the set is built around it.
What should I send a DJ for a fashion show?
Send the run of show, walk timings, number of looks and cue points such as the opening, reveal, finale and designer bow, plus the brief, reference tracks, venue tech spec and your sound engineer's contact. The more fixed the timings, the tighter the edits can be.
What equipment does DJ Kim need at a runway show?
Two Pioneer CDJ-3000s linked by wired PRO DJ LINK, a Pioneer DJM-A9 and two full-range booth monitors, playing from USB with no laptop. No drinks, smoke machines, CO2 jets, pyrotechnics or liquids directed over the equipment, which matters where runway haze is planned. Full details are in the press kit.
How much does a DJ for a fashion show cost?
DJ Kim's fee is quoted per booking, depending on the date, city, set length and travel. Bookings outside London also cover return flights, a minimum 4-star hotel and private transfers for her and her manager. See the DJ hire cost guide, then send your brief for a quote.
Can DJ Kim play a launch or brand activation in Dubai?
Yes. She is based in London, plays regularly in Dubai, where she has played Pulse, and takes worldwide bookings for 2026 and 2027, with 2026 dates limited. For international events the promoter handles visas and permits. See DJ bookings in Dubai.
