Spinning records and CDs for well over twenty years, EddieD loves to mingle with the crowd with his mellow singing voice and sharp sense of humor. Whether he's crooning one of Old Blue Eye's standards, or rockin' the house with his interpretation of the King of Rock and Roll, Eddie D's interaction with the crowd gets them up on their feet and turns their participation into the life of the party. A few of Eddie's other interests include astronomy, softball, bowling, golf, photography, cooking, and collecting baseball cards.
The “Silent Partner” of the team, Dave hasbeen spinning discs with Eddie for over ten years. A perfect complement to Eddie's style, Dave interjects his sense of humor through an occasional audio surprise, apropos for the moment, in between providing the best dance music for the event. He's also been known to treat young visitors to the DJ booth with a magic trick or two. Besides a love for “oldies,” other interests include magic, photography, juggling, costuming, amateur radio, and collecting TV Guides.
Pricing and Packages
Basically, all jobs are priced by the hour, based upon the type of job booked.
Please note that hours booked are hours that equipment and personnel are fully set-up and ready to play, whether or not performance is scheduled to take place. For example, you want music played between 7 and 11 pm for an event at which guests will begin arriving shortly after 6pm. Therefore, because the DJ is required to be set up and ready by 6pm, the actual booking is considered to be from 6 to 11 pm.
Use the information presented here as a guide to accurately estimate the final cost of a Laser Tracks DJ job. It is not intended to serve as an actual price quote. To get an actual quote, please call Laser Tracks at (978) 804-4797,
Please keep in mind that Laser Tracks jobs are generally performed with two key personnel, allowing for better interaction with guests. Accommodations should be considered based on two DJs (job price, meals, etc.), unless otherwise prearranged.
We do our best to keep our prices low, or at least competitive, for the quality of performance, sound, and music request accommodation. Therefore, we start with low basic rates, then add surcharges only as are necessary, rather than overinflate our prices up front to cover all possible situations.. A little forethought on the customer's part will get him/her our lowest price.

TRAVEL SURCHARGES
We are based out of Lowell, Massachusetts. Although we are happy to travel moderate distances to provide our services, we must charge an additional fee for booked events beyond a 20 mile radius of Lowell. For every 10 miles (or fraction) beyond that 20 mile radius, a fee of $20 is added. For example: a job booked 37 (17 beyond the first 20) miles away from Lowell will have a fee of $40 added.
SET-UP DIFFICULTY
For each flight above ground level at venues without an elevator, an additional $25 will be added to the quote. Other difficulties that may result in additional charges are: a long distance from equipment van to set-up point; having to pass through a busy kitchen area; and having to pass through a busy lobby/waiting area. Please note any difficulty of set-up when booking the hall, and report these difficulties to Laser Tracks when booking DJ service.
