 DJ Simon Like Dj Ewan, Simon joined The Venue in April 1999, but only started a resident night in 2002; he can be found in the DJ box every weekend at some point, in between that he can be found managing the club!! Simon can be recognised by his retro telephone headphone, which he made himself! "Retro-pop is certainly my favourite type of music and I always get a good reaction from the crowd when I put it on. I'm always on the look out for a classic that's been left in the past and forgotten about just so I can resurrect it again." "Not only do I love retro cheese, but I also love my indie, The Killers, Kooks, Fratellis, The View, The Enemy, Kings of Leon, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park etc, its all good, and goes down really well with my regulars."

 DJ Darren Darren is one of the longest serving DJs at The Venue (after DJ Ewan & Simon!). He has been found working in various pubs and clubs in Dumfries before being scouted to be a resident DJ at The Venue for the best in R&B, Hip-Hop & chart. He's not here as much as he used to be but he is back as much as possible from England where he works in radio and TV broadcasting for the BBC. "If you love R&B/Hip-Hop then come and see me, it's what I specialise in" Darren mainly DJs in England at large venues across the Midlands. He provides seamless R&B & Hip-Hop mixes with his own exclusive mixes and remixes especially for The Venue! Darren also brings exclusive music heard nowhere else, due to his contacts at all the major record labels. You’d be amazed how many songs he has played way before you hear it on Radio 1! (T.I. Ft. Rihanna was one of them!) Darren has signed a contract to play exclusively at The Venue over the festive period.
