Sunshine, Sea & Slightly Questionable Dance Moves: Our Tenerife Getaway 🌴☀️

After what can only be described as a whirlwind of a year — packed with weddings, parties, corporate events, and more miles on the van than we’d care to count — the Sounds International Discos team decided it was finally time to slow things down.

And what better way to recharge than a trip to the sunshine-soaked shores of Tenerife?

This wasn’t just a quick getaway, it was a well-earned reward for months of hard work, late nights, and countless dancefloors. A chance to swap soundchecks for sunsets, and playlists for palm trees.

“We’ve had such a full-on year,” says Sean. “It’s been absolutely amazing, wedding after wedding, event after event, but by the time autumn rolled around, we were definitely running on fumes. Tenerife was the perfect reset button!”

Total Relaxation… Almost 😎

From the moment we arrived, we could feel the stress melting away. Warm evenings, golden beaches, and that unmistakable laid-back island energy, it was exactly what we needed.

Days were spent lounging by the pool, exploring the local markets, and finding hidden gems off the beaten track. The food? Incredible. From fresh seafood to local tapas and ice-cold cervezas by the sea, Tenerife knows how to keep you smiling.

But of course, being DJs… we didn’t just spend the week relaxing.

Somehow, we found ourselves back on the dancefloor, this time as the ones doing the dancing (and not necessarily doing it well!).

“I think we surprised a few people,” Martin laughs. “We’re usually the ones behind the decks, not in the middle of the floor trying to remember how to move our feet! Let’s just say our dancing is more enthusiasm than technique.”

As the nights went on, the music got louder, the moves got looser, and let’s be honest, a few of us might have enjoyed ourselves a little too much! But that’s what holidays are all about, right? Letting go, laughing until your sides hurt, and forgetting what day of the week it is.

“I think that’s what made it so special,” Sean adds. “It wasn’t just about relaxing, it was about having fun, being silly, and remembering what it’s like to enjoy music purely for the joy of it.”

Reflection, Recharging & A Bit of Perspective 🌅

Amid the laughter and late nights, there were quieter moments too. Sitting by the ocean as the sun set, talking about the year so far, and everything still to come.

It gave us both a chance to reflect, not just on the business, but on the people, memories, and energy that have made this year so incredible.

“We’ve been so lucky,” Sean says. “To be part of so many amazing weddings, events, and celebrations, it’s a privilege. But it’s also non-stop. This break reminded us how important it is to pause, recharge, and look back at how far we’ve come.”

Martin adds, “It’s easy to get caught up in the next gig, the next setup, the next playlist… but sitting there watching the waves, you realise how lucky we are to do what we love. It was a reset, mentally, creatively, and physically.”

Ready for What’s Next 🔥

With our batteries fully recharged (and our tans still hanging on), we’ve come back buzzing with energy and ideas for the months ahead. Tenerife gave us everything we needed — sunshine, laughter, connection, and clarity.

We’re ready to hit the ground running, bringing the same energy, positivity, and passion to every event we’re part of — just with slightly better-rested faces!

“Sometimes you don’t realise how much you need a break until you take one,” Martin says. “Now we’re back, refreshed, focused, and honestly, just more grateful than ever.”

Tenerife, thank you for the sunshine, the smiles, and the dancefloors that reminded us how good it feels to be on the other side of the decks for once.

Here’s to more adventures, more laughter, and maybe a few more “non-dancing” moves somewhere down the line. 🌞🎶
