Getting started

As every event is different, please get in touch and we'll provide you with a cost for your specific event.


On the day

We're here to make things run as smoothly as possible. After unloading Party Trike from our van, we're ready to ride to your chosen performance area. In most cases, Party Trike can be ridden between different areas and we can even provide music while on the move, giving us a unique flexibility that other sound systems just can't offer.

The Party Trike bicycle sound system is equipped with a light box (which can be branded with your logo or message if required), the light box is illuminated in a range colours and has various flash patterns. Party Trike also features a strobe, laser, lights and smoke machine. These create their strongest visual effect when it is dark.

The unit also features a powerful sound system and a high quality DJ controller, which we connect to a laptop containing the music library and software. If required, we can also offer Pioneer CDJ set-up comprising 2x CDJ2000NSX2 decks and a DJM900NSX2 mixer.

Party Trike is equipped with two solar panels for trickle charging. After dark, battery life is approximately three hours. We are able to swap batteries mid set, without interruption to the music, so performances could potentially last much longer. We also offer a trailer mounted generator set-up for when longer sets require.

We have public liability insurance, and have extensive experience performing at a wide range of events and festivals, in a variety of different locations and to crowds of all sizes.


Music

Our aim is to get the party started and get people dancing. We're serious about music, but we don't take ourselves too seriously, so expect a light hearted, inclusive vibe.

We have eclectic tastes and can perform sets across a variety of music genres. So whether Balearic, Britpop or Bossa Nova's your thing, or you prefer Free Jazz, Folk or Funky House, we'll have it covered. If you have any specific genre requests, please let us know when booking. 

We aim to build a set to suit our audience, their energy level and the environment we're playing, so we approach each set with an open mind. We're creative behind the decks, weaving together tracks and taking our audience on a musical journey through track selection and by applying subtle loops, filtering and effects to enhance the transitions and overall experience.

For example, if we were performing at a marathon, we'd select music to get people going and keep them motivated. If we were playing a set as people queued to enter a music festival, we'd probably play something slightly slower.


Optional extras

Powered by pedal
To further enhance the eco experience, Party Trike can be coupled with one or two of our generator bikes. When pedaled, the static generator bikes charge the battery of the Party Trike. This makes our set more interactive, means we can operate for longer without changing batteries and helps further communicate the fact that the we are playing off-grid. 

Additional lighting
If required, we can provide additional mains powered lighting to help decorate an area. We have a disco ball with spotlight as well as over 1km of LED fairy lights that can be strung around the venue.

Create a distinct area
We can provide a range of unique outdoor furniture, such as benches, tables and cordons to help delineate a specific performance area for Party Trike.
