DJ Bertie B — Moving Energy on the Dance Floor
Two ways to move a crowd: a main-stage 90-120 minute set that keeps everyone moving, and an ecstatic dance journey that takes people from their heads into their bodies.
Auckland-based · Available for festivals across Aotearoa
Main Stage
High-energy house, pop and dance remixes of songs everyone already knows. Feel-good energy from a DJ who’s clearly having the best time of anyone there. Best for: afternoon-to-sunset or peak-time slots.
Ecstatic Dance Journey
A 70-90 minute wave: a slow, grounding arrival → a steady build → a full-body peak → release → stillness.
No talking, no phones, no alcohol on the floor — just music, movement and the freedom to dance like nobody's watching.
Can open with a short guided intention and close with a gentle landing.
Why Bertie B
Reads the room — understands the energy of dance floors at gala dinners, awards nights and conferences, where nobody arrives wanting to dance. Festival crowds are the easy bit.
Energy with intention — a background in emotional fitness and somatic dance means the set is designed for how people feel, not just what's trending.
Brings people in — the shy ones, the "I don't dance" ones, the ones at the back. That's the whole point.
Community first — happy to play, run a dance workshop, or both. Whatever serves the whānau.
DJ Bertie B Bio
DJ Bertie B is the stage name of Rob Robertson, an Auckland-based energy mover, trust builder and DJ.
He plays two kinds of sets. His main-stage sets are high-energy and feel-good, built to keep people dancing. His ecstatic or somatic dance journeys move from a grounded arrival to a full-body peak, then back to stillness.
Away from festivals, Bertie B is the entertainment act for gala dinners, awards nights and conferences, where nobody arrives planning to dance. He wins over the shy ones and keeps everyone moving until the last song.
He loves creating fun dance journeys that shift the room's energy. With his background as a workshop leader and facilitator, plus more than 300 hours of ecstatic and somatic dance training, he shapes every set around how people feel. As the energy shifts, people trust more: their bodies, the music and each other.
What Type of Music
Open format, built around the dance floor rather than a genre. Vocal house and pop remixes at the core — Dua Lipa, David Guetta, Kesha, Avicii, Eiffel 65 — with funky house and nu-disco early, mainstage house through the peak, then classics, Kiwi anthems and singalongs to close. Every set follows an arc: a slow build, a clear peak and a landing. Just share the stage and time slot, and Bertie B will shape the set to fit.
Tech & set-up
Plays on Pioneer CDJs or Numark Mixstream Pro. Set lengths: 90–120 minutes for the main stage and 70-90 minutes for ecstatic and somatic dance. He can bring all his own gear: DJ controller, audio mixer and speakers.
