We are Paraffin Milkshake, a small platform built for DJ’s in the UK that just love to play. It was formed at the start of Covid lockdown for bedroom DJ’s who loved to play but may not have had the confidence to play to other people.

We realised that people played for many reasons and one that resonated close to our hearts was the mental health aspect. Co Founder Steve is open about his struggles with Anxiety and Depression which was exacerbated by lockdown and the pandemic that has hit us all – In mixing and creating Paraffin Milkshake he found an escape and that is where it grew from. This is where the hash tag #mixingformentalhealth was born from and our small support for Mind Charity - A few of our DJ's are supporters of this fantastic charity so it seemed only right that's where any donations should go and who we will support.

We have a number of DJ’s now who play week in week out – Their experience levels vary from 3 months to 30 years – Most are just simply people who DJ on their dining room tables or on make shift DJ booths and some are DJ’s who have played residencies at big events and clubs back in the day and then had life catch up with them and now they have found their passion again and others – all we care about is their love for the craft and we are delighted to just give them a platform to perform. We have an amazing community of DJ’s who are always chatting and passing on advice, tips and bantering!
