A Little More About The Man Himself

 DJ Wanker has been entertaining crowds since he did his first gig at the age of 14. Quite obviously, he wasn’t called DJ Wanker in those days. That name became his trademark many years later.  So, why that name? Because it’s self deprecating and amusing. Far too many DJs are navel-gazing, pretentious and way up their own backsides. That’s not an allegation you can aim at this particular DJ.

His main goal when behind the decks is to entertain and give the crowd what they want. He’s also quite happy to laugh at others as much as he laughs at himself.  His micky-taking is always meant in the right spirit and he hopes others appreciate it’s not malicious – just light-hearted banter. Being able to laugh at yourself is important.

He started life as a mobile DJ – working at private parties and commercial functions – and then moved into bar and club work in 1997. He spent a couple of months DJ-ing at a five-star hotel in Egypt and, on his return, accepted a residency in Scotland. Next up was a club in Leicester and from there his DJ-ing blossomed.  DJ W has worked across the UK since 1997 in a variety of venues for a whole host of the country’s leading pub and nightclub chains.

He’s a versatile DJ whether it be playing funky house and old skool club classics all night (which is his favourite), a wide cross section of commercial chart, dance, R’n’B, pop and party or student venues into their indie and rock.
His key philosophy is: if you’re going to party, then party hard! And if you’re going to party hard, make sure DJ Wanker is spinning the tunes!

Aside from being a world famous tune spinner and party starter, DJ Wanker is also a successful journalist, broadcaster and author who goes under the name of Geoff Peters.
