What
Nocturnals does.

Three services built around what Brisbane venues and event clients actually need.

Venue DJ Management · Playlist & Background Music · Private Events & Parties

Service 01

Venue DJ Management

For bars, nightclubs and restaurants that need consistent, quality entertainment every week without the overhead of managing DJs themselves.

We source and vet your DJs, set music policies in writing, build your weekly calendar, and guarantee cover if a DJ can't make a show.

Option A
All-in
Hourly

Single rate per hour. No lock-in. Best for smaller bars testing DJ entertainment.

Equipment add-on: Venues without gear can include a full booth setup, speakers and lighting. Quoted separately.

What's included

DJ sourcing & vetting

Every DJ is selected based on reliability, crowd-reading ability and fit for your specific venue.

Written music policy

Genre, BPM range, must-avoids, volume by time of night. Agreed in writing before their first shift.

No-show cover guarantee

If a DJ can't make it, we find cover. You'll never have an empty booth on a DJ night.

Full scheduling & management

We coordinate all bookings, confirmations and rosters. One point of contact, no chasing.

Superannuation handled

12% on every booking, remitted correctly through the ATO clearing house.

Single weekly invoice

One clean invoice per week. No per-DJ admin, no separate expense claims.


Service 02

Playlist &
Background Music

Every hour your venue is open matters — not just the DJ nights. Nocturnals curates and manages your background music on Spotify or Apple Music.

We profile your venue and crowd, build playlists matched to your vibe and trading hours, and refresh them fortnightly so the music stays fresh.
