Phase One: Delivering Expertise and Equipment
Phase One is a long‑established, award‑winning family‑run specialist in professional sound, lighting, and DJ equipment, based in Darlington in the North East of England. Founded in 1981, Phase One has grown from a local music and equipment store into one of the most respected names in the industry, with over four decades of experience serving DJs, venues, entertainers, and AV professionals.

Their team are often working DJs and industry practitioners themselves, which means customers get expert advice backed by real hands‑on experience.
With long‑standing relationships with major brands, a vast stock holding, and a reputation for exceptional service, Phase One continues to be a trusted partner for professionals across the UK.

Two Forces, One Vision
From humble beginnings to industry-leading collaboration, we make every project a success
The story of Everything Audio and Phase One is one of decades of passion, friendship, and shared expertise. Nathan, director of Everything Audio, began his journey with Phase One at just 12 years old as a Saturday boy. From that early start, he immersed himself in the world of professional sound, lighting, and DJ equipment, gaining hands-on knowledge that still drives the success of Everything Audio today.
Mike, the owner of Phase One, and Nathan have remained lifelong friends, and together they now lead two businesses that complement each other perfectly. What started as a shared vision for quality and service has grown into an unrivaled partnership that spans equipment supply, hire, installations, and technical support.
Phase One brings world-class products, award-winning service, and one of the largest showrooms in the North of England, along with the biggest stock holding of specialist sound, lighting, and DJ equipment. Their e-commerce platform, www.djanddiscostuff.com
, ensures that clients across the UK can access the full range of premium equipment with ease.
Together, Everything Audio and Phase One combine decades of hands-on experience, unparalleled technical knowledge, and access to the very best brands. From concept to delivery, hire to installation, and routine support to emergency call-outs, this partnership ensures every project is executed flawlessly, efficiently, and with complete confidence.
This is more than a business relationship — it’s a success story built on friendship, expertise, and a shared commitment to excellence. For clients, it means the ultimate peace of mind, knowing that whether it’s a major venue installation, specialist hire, or a high-end production, they have the power, knowledge, and resources of two industry leaders working seamlessly together.
