Mobile DiscosAbout Its Chris Benn
Chris’ musical upbringing combined with a genuine interest for the arts have given him musical knowledge beyond his years and a song library to match. His DJing career began in 2010 whilst doing a music production degree and he was fortunate to have his first gig in the prestigious Mayfair nightclub ‘Funky Buddha’. Since then, he’s played in many venues across the U.K. including Slug & Lettuce, Amazing Grace, Raffles (Chelsea) and Miranda.
Throughout the 10’s Chris was also tour DJ to 90’s Dance legend and MOBO Award Winner Baby D. He still occasionally joins her on stage. The experience he has gained over the years has led him to playing a private party for a Forbes-recognised individual and multiple international events in Portugal and France.
In previous years, when not behind the decks, Chris has dabbled in producing and writing. In 2023, he got back into the studio with a clear vision of his sound as a DJ and artist. His first rework of Cleo Sol’s ‘Why Don’t You’ was featured on DJ Spoony’s ‘The Good Groove’ Show on BBC Radio 2. His passion is deeply rooted in anything with a groove. Soulful House, Disco, Afro House, Soul, Funk and R&B are his favourite genres. It’s no surprise that one of the highlights of his career so far is sharing the stage with one of his Idols, Trevor Nelson.
When it comes to playing corporate gigs, Chris is no stranger to some of the world’s biggest brands. Google, Sky and Lind Group (Triumph Motorcycles, Porsche, BMW Motorcycles and Harley Davidson), are only a few names he’s worked with.
Chris is known for being a true open-format DJ with his ability to blend between genres. He is frequently complimented on his ability to read the room and play to what the crowd is feeling in the moment. When not playing out, you can hear Chris on ‘The Groove Show’ which he presents weekly on Shoreditch Radio. The demand for Chris’s skilled sets and infectious energy is only set to rise.

Fantastic service!!!
A massive thank you to Chris for being the best dj!! Communication throughout the booking process was amazing with really speedy replies, even called me on the day to confirm the time as I had changed it twice before! Chris played all recommendations and added in his own choices to fit the mood of the party which worked perfectly. We also finished the night with a bit of karaoke. I would highly recommend other people booking Chris. It was a great value for money and he even brings all his own equipment which was one less thing for us to worry about. Thank you so so much Chris it was great having you at our party.
Chris is an absolute godsend of a DJ!
We approached Chris with some pretty tough specifications, given the multicultural theming of our wedding. Our wedding congregation consisted of people from Czech, Ghanaian, British and Caribbean backgrounds. We wanted to make sure we had a DJ that could cater to all of these tastes and somehow make it all seamless. When we gave Chris these specifics, he didn't flinch. He simply asked us to provide him with a playlist of a few songs we like and he took care of the rest. The evening was absolutely incredible, with the dancefloor being absolutely packed. If we had to do it all again, we would definitely be calling Chris all over again. 100% recommend!
Brilliant DJ!!
Chris was perfect. It was an intimate wedding in a grand venue so keeping the dance floor looking full was always going to be a challenge… not for Chris! He was very in tune with our guests, what a brilliant party. Thank you for making our day even more special! Anna and Arfon x
Great DJ catering for all tastes
Chris did a great job at our work Christmas party. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with, and did a superb job on the night of catering to the tastes of a wide range of people. Everyone danced and had a great time and lots of people have said since that he's the best DJ we've ever had a work 'do'. I would thoroughly recommend him.
