About
Sincopa is a DJ for hire in Vaucluse, NSW.
Three performers cover the whole night: a DJ, a percussionist and a saxophonist. Sincopa open with softer background music while guests arrive and eat, often sending the saxophonist roaming the room over backing tracks, then turn up the tempo when it's time to dance, with live percussion and sax driving the set. There's no fixed song list. Disco, rock, dance, pop, RnB, house and retro classics are all in play, and requests are welcome. The Sydney trio perform up to 90 minutes live, usually split into two or three sets, with the DJ playing through the rest of the event. Sound system and show lighting travel with them.
Watch
The show
The idea is that music never stops, from the first guest through to the last song. While people are arriving and eating, the DJ keeps things soft in the background, and the saxophonist wanders the room playing over the top, which lifts the mood without anyone needing to stop talking. Then the dancing part starts and the trio push it hard. Popular party songs, played to get people up and singing rather than politely watching. Upbeat and interactive is the whole speciality.
On the day
They ask for three hours of venue access before the event to get set up. Performance space needed is roughly 6 metres by 2.2 metres.
Performance options
Three performers come as one act: a DJ, a percussionist and a saxophonist, with their instruments, microphone, sound system and show lighting included. Live, the trio plays up to 90 minutes, usually broken into two 45-minute sets or three 30-minute ones, and the DJ covers everything either side of that. You can also add a saxophone solo of up to 40 minutes, played over backing tracks while he roams the room and dance floor. Best used during arrivals or while people are eating.
