The Karaoke Zone Chicago 

 DJ and Karaoke!

     The Karaoke Zone is a lot of music and fun for all occasions. We have all types of music just check out the huge listing of songs we bring to your event. Our karaoke song selection is excellent. We have thousands of songs and not a lot of duplicates. All of our selections are purchased from reputable retail and wholesale outlets and treated with the utmost care. I won't keep a disc in my collection that is scratched or has corrupted data in any way. I share links to those outlets on my links page in case you want to buy them. This is a private party hosting service. What we do exactly is we deliver entertainment right to your door. We have a handsome personel collection of CD's plus higher end CD+G's almost a dozen different brands that sound the way the original production was intended to sound and not like it came off a MIDI website. We have acquired our collection based on public requests from years of work at private parties just like yours so if you think of something to sing the odds are pretty good that we have it in our personel collection. We can even use your CD's or CD+G's if you like. We can even hook your iPod into our system. With private parties we are not limited by any copy right claims. All my material is licensed for private use so the content is privie to my clients only and their guests at their party. As long as you don't attempt to charge admission it's all good.   
     A lot of people have commented on the sound quality of our system. Yes, you can hear it while you are singing and we incorporate 3 live mics into the production so as you can sing duets and in a group if you don't like to go it alone. Check out the link on the left " Video Samples" to see how that works.  

     Our specialty is the way we handle requests. We welcome and encourage them with open arms and an open internet connection in real time. Realtime website service and then reading an audience is very important in making your event a memorable one.  Following you and your guests direction is the way we do it. We very seldom miss a request even if it is shouted from the audience. You and your guests can make requests online too. It is karaoke like you've seen at the bars around the area with the TV monitor showing the lyrics of the song. If you like we can patch it through to up to a TV at the location even a large screen TV.  

      I would be willing to bet your party guests won't want to quit when they learn the show is "no waiting karaoke". We are right on it.  Some Karaoke hosts do NOT offer any non-CD+G selection and distill your show with "DEAD AIR".  We won't! We tend to keep our shows up beat and lively by playing songs on a regular CD player, but not so much to interfere with the karaoke fun. It is an exceptional value like a two for one package. So call (773)436-0043 right now or place your reservation right online here.
 
Now Computerized!

      Updates and improvements in recording technology have led to stunning capabilities among those in the Disc Jockey and Karaoke business. They have an external hard drive that can also be plugged  right into a lap-top computer that they can use. I have one I use at home with somewhere around 14,000 CD (non-karaoke) selections on it and maybe about four karaoke songs. We have plenty of CD's so even if your party guests don't want to sing we can just play music for hours and hours. The fun doesn't have to stop at all because now you can create a custom playlist right online in our event planner. I have even had customers e-mail me their favorite songs to play at their event. The thing with those guys who are using a hard drive and a computer exclusively at their shows is that their data can become corrupted. I stick mostly to discs because they are more reliable, but man are they heavy. I bring two different machines to play music on. I have a Cavs super CD+G player and a Gem dual CD player that are part of the starter package. 

Economically Priced! 
     We must be the cheapest DJ's out there while doing the most work. It is no easy task doing an all request show. DJ's would normally field 2 or 3 requests during a performance possibly 10 at the most. With karaoke though it is not unusal to run the entire show based on requests. Do karaoke hosts get more money for providing this additional service? No! Traditionally karaoke has been treated as an add-on to a DJ show and runs about $200 more on the average. So customers feel cheated if the pricing exceeds the $200 range by too much. Therefore we have reached deep and searched for the most economical equipment to present these productions. We've set our pricing accordingly with one of the cheapest pricing packages in the DJ business. The three hour show at $80 per hour on a Saturday gets your party started at $240 and its up to you and your guests as to how much more you want to spend. I assure you that most DJ's out there walk away from the average show with no less than $500. We are among the minority willing to perform for less saving you hundreds of dollars. Please don't ask us about a 1 hour show on a Saturday as that is our minimum price, $240. For weeknights including Fridays we offer a $5 per hour discount.
