Book FNK Allstars

DJ with Live Musicians

FNK Allstars is a DJ with live musicians for hire through Contraband. Available as a 5, 7 or 9 piece, every line-up includes a DJ/MC/Turntablist, live vocalists and a saxophonist. The larger options add trumpet and guitar. Its club-style format brings performers and guests together around a DJ booth on the dance floor.

Rather than placing the whole performance on a stage, Allstars puts the DJ among the guests. Performers gather in and around the booth, joining the tracks as the night unfolds. Guests can surround the DJ, making the booth a meeting point between the performers and the people they are playing for.

A DJ with live musicians, among your guests

The DJ plays while the musicians move in and out of the performance, responding to the set. Performers gather around the booth, creating a club-style gathering rather than a show watched from a distance.

If you are imagining a party where the performers are part of the crowd, this is the FNK option to explore. Tell Contraband about your room and how you would like guests to use it, so the booking team can discuss the Allstars format in the context of your event.

Find FNK Allstars alongside our function DJs and party and function bands. All enquiries come through Contraband, whether you are organising the celebration yourself or working with an event planner.

A turntablist and live musicians on the dance floor

A turntablist and live musicians are at the heart of FNK Allstars. The DJ/MC/Turntablist performs live scratching from the booth, with vocalists and instrumentalists joining the tracks around it. The turntablist is included in every 5, 7 and 9 piece line-up.

R&B, hip-hop, rap and old-school tunes

FNK Allstars moves through R&B, hip-hop, rap and old-school tunes. The DJ provides the thread, with vocalists and musicians stepping into the performance along the way. Scratching adds another live element to the tracks, keeping the turntablist at the centre of the format.

Watch the videos below for examples supplied by FNK, including Juice, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme and an I Wish remix. These clips are a starting point for discussing the music, not a promise of a particular song at your event. Share your preferences with Contraband when you enquire.

FNK Allstars line-ups: 5, 7 or 9 piece

Every size includes a DJ/MC/Turntablist, live vocalists and saxophonist. The choice is between three confirmed line-ups, with more vocalists and additional instruments in the larger options.

5 piece Allstars

DJ/MC/Turntablist, 3 vocalists and saxophonist.

7 piece Allstars

DJ/MC/Turntablist, 4 vocalists, saxophonist and trumpet.

9 piece Allstars

DJ/MC/Turntablist, 5 vocalists, saxophonist, trumpet and guitarist.

Dancers can also be discussed as an addition to the club-style format. They are not listed as part of any of the three line-ups above. Ask Contraband about the options for your event rather than assuming that dancers are included.

Weddings, corporate parties and private celebrations

For a wedding after-party, a corporate celebration or a private party, the starting point is the kind of evening you want to create.
