For nearly four decades, Elite Deejays has defined the gold standard of live event entertainment in New Zealand. Founded on a passion for seamless musical curation and an innate ability to read a room, we are not just DJs—we are Atmosphere Architects.
The Elite Deejays story began 39 years ago during a stint in radio broadcasting in Rotorua. When a last-minute cancellation left a 21st birthday party without entertainment, our founder stepped behind the decks for the very first time. The response from the crowd was immediate and overwhelming. Within a single month of launching a dedicated DJ business, the commitment to exceptional, high-energy performance elevated the local standard so significantly that the Rotorua market consolidated from six operating DJs down to just two. That drive to continuously out-perform the status quo has been the cornerstone of the business ever since.
Today, as New Zealand’s premier entertainment service, Elite Deejays represents the pinnacle of the industry. Holding a prestigious Platinum Membership with the New Zealand Professional DJs Association, our expertise is backed by a multitude of glowing 5-star reviews and a legacy of flawless execution across weddings, corporate galas, and milestone celebrations.
Our philosophy is built on active intuition. We don’t just show up and press play on a predetermined playlist. We seamlessly mix across eras and genres in real-time—from timeless Old Skool and Motown classics to high-energy club anthems, Nu-Disco, and Top 40 hits. By monitoring the collective energy of the room, we curate a sophisticated, multi-genre audio experience that ensures every single guest, regardless of age, feels compelled to join the dancefloor.
Beyond performing, Elite Deejays is committed to elevating the industry as a whole, actively mentoring and training the next generation of DJs. When clients choose Elite Deejays, they aren't just booking a sound system; they are investing in absolute reliability, impeccable presentation, and 39 years of unparalleled, elite expertise.

As I have literally hundreds of thousands of songs, it's impossible to list them all here. Please enquire with me to see if I have a perticular song you'd like to hear.
We require a performance space of at least 6 meters x 4 meters. We also require 2 x 10 amp (or above), one secure parking space with easy access as close as possible to performance area.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig. Extra lighting, a laser, a smoke machine and wireless mics are available at an extra cost.
We are happy to provide your choice of music during dinner service or breaks, or you can let us choose something appropriate for your event
We have done hundreds of gigs, at a wide variety of venues right across NZ.
One gif we did as a private event at Auckland Zoo for one client was interesting.. got an exclusive private tour of the zoo, got to hand feed kangaroos and a large tortoise that was over 100 years old.
We love weddings, and helping the bride and groom celebrate their happy occasion with class.
We provide our services anywhere in NZ (subject to terms and conditions).
With 39 years of unparalleled expertise, DownUnder Entertainment stands as a testament to excellence in the DJ industry. Our reputation precedes us, with a portfolio boasting hundreds of successful events, including weddings, corporate functions, and celebrations of life. Our meticulously curated team of elite DJs has been handpicked for their exceptional skill and dedication to their craft.
We are largely inspired by the classics from the 80s, but as we are multi-genre DJs, we can play pretty much anything you require for your event.
We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up and run a sound check.
We will play for our contracted time, and extra time may be booked at the event at the sole discretion with our management. Any fees for extra time must be paid in full before our time is extended.
Absolutely. We require suitable shade and cover over our working area to protect us and our equipment from the elements of the weather and hot sun.
Our clients may choose a custom playlist, or allow us to play suitable music for the event in question.
Our multitude of glowing testimonials speak for themselves.
