A Chicago Party DJ You Can Trust

Jay Congdon, Founder and President

A Chicago party DJ must be more than just a friend of a friend with an old phonograph and a stack of scratchy records.
Admit it. You know someone who hired a DJ like that, just to save a few bucks, who still tells the horror stories about that awful night.

But doesn't your party deserve better than that?

A great Chicago party DJ with a great music selection will make your guests remember your big night for years! Why gamble your party on an amateur?

Here's why Fourth Estate Audio is recognized as the standard by which Chicago party DJs are measured:

Seven Reasons Why Fourth Estate Audio Has the Party DJs Chicago Trusts

Chicagoland's largest music playlist.
- We bring more than 8,000 hits to every party. Not just songs, but hit songs. Don't be fooled by DJs who say they have 50,000 "titles" or "selections" (for the record, we have more than 120,000 "titles"). A CD can have 15 "titles," but only one hit song that you really want to hear.
Easy access to that playlist.
- Fourth Estate Audio was the first DJ service in the world to put its entire song library on the World Wide Web, and make it fully interactive. So you don't have to guess whether we have your favorite songs. You can pick them from the comfort and convenience of your own computer.
A proven track record.
- We've done thousands of Chicago weddings, class reunions, birthdays, anniversary parties and corporate events. We're proud of the trust we've earned from our clients, some of whom book us for more than 60 parties a year.
State-of-the-art sound equipment.
- Even the world's greatest music would be wasted on a second-rate sound system. So we invest in the best-- names like ElectroVoice, Numark, Crown, QSC, TOA, Peavey and more-- names that professional Chicago party DJs have come to trust for faithful sound reproduction.
We're people people. But we're not clowns.
- A "wacky" DJ may be great for children's parties. But adults quickly grow tired of a DJ who demands all of their attention. Most parties call for a DJ with strong master-of-ceremonies skills and the wisdom to use his own words sparingly. You are the star of your party, not your DJ.
Personal service.
- We offer each client unlimited contact with us while planning the party. And you'll have plenty of opportunity to share with your Chicago party DJ exactly how you'd like your event to proceed. By party time, your DJ will be a trusted friend, not a total stranger.
We're small.
- Imagine a company actually bragging about such a thing. But in the DJ business, being too big means losing quality control. We have seven professional DJs, each with at least 10 years experience. And this is important: each DJ owns and maintains his own equipment and music library. So he takes his work seriously, and treats the client with respect. Unlike the giant companies, we don't just buy dozens of sound systems, and hire DJ's off the street to work for beer money. Our people are professionals. They're paid well. This is our business, not a hobby. You deserve no less.

This availability checker is for evening events. If you're planning an afternoon event, and the checker says we're booked up, call us anyway. We can probably accommodate you.
