Sparkle
Agency is home to some of the world's top DJ/music professionals
and entertainment performers. From clublands favourite
global DJ's and live PA's, to cabaret and circus performers,
and skilled mainstream resident/contract club DJ/hosts.
We are a registered,
and long established entertainment booking and artist/event services
business with a high reputation in the industry. The agency is
headed up by founder/Director Spike Hull, an entertainment professional
with over 30 years as a DJ, promoter, artist manager and booking
agent, and an in-depth knowledge of music culture and technology
and the entertainment industry generally, as well as commercial
and financial acumen gained from early career experience with
blue-chip organisations in the City of London.
We
are very selective about who we represent - we look for committed
established artists who demonstrate a professional and business-like
approach to complement their immense musical and performing talent,
and who are great ambassadors for our own globally recognised
agency brand and the events and promotions who book them.
During December 2010 we clocked
up an amazing 13-year 100% unbroken artist appearance record
worldwide - an extraordinary accomplishment in the booking industry,
and one that speaks volumes for the dedication and determination
of our artists.
Sparkle Agency was established
back in the early 1990s, when Spike, anticipating that his own
DJ career would only continue for a few more years due to a recurring
hearing problem (new DJs take note - PLEASE use noise filtering
ear plugs!), still had the desire to be very involved in the
growing DJ and dance music industry as well as the contacts to
help others. This coupled with emerging new digital music
formats and communication technology all fused together to become
Sparkle Productions, and later Sparkle Agency.
So the World's very first
web-based DJ booking agency was born. Admittedly there
was a lot of thumb twiddling going on for a couple of years before
the web became more widely used, but this gave us plenty of time
to try things out, develop our roster and improve our exposure.
Our vision proved extremely
successful, demonstrating to the dance music community and booking
industry.what could be achieved in the new media and setting
the industry standard. Through that ,and various other firsts,
we earned a reputation for innovation, and much of the ideas
that we introduced are now common practice throughout the DJ
and entertainment booking industry.
Many years on we continue
to explore new ideas and we thrive on being on the leading edge
(and often the bleeding edge) of the booking industry. 2011 is
no exception as our new iPhone/iPad/Tablet/Smartphone optimised
website launched with a brand new Sparkle logo and imagery.
We pride ourselves on
our ethical booking policy and reliability record, and we value
and encourage long-term booking relationships and many of our
customers return to book time and again and over the years some
have become firm friends - we hope you will be too.
