Looks pretty cut and dried to me.

You lose your deposit - full stop, which you are quite happy to do.

Let hime take you to court, he will lose and will be liable for court costs.

Just send the DJ a recorded delivery letter, saying something along the lines of:

Dear Mr DJ,

Please find enclose a copy of your terms and conditions that you sent to us on <date sent>.

I have highlighted the section which states that if a cancellation occurs, we will lose our deposit.

No where within the terms and conditions does it state that the full balance must be paid if the booking is cancelled.

I therefore conclude that the deposit of £150 that you have already received is the full and final settlement for the cancellation of the booking on <date>, which is in full compliance with your own terms and conditions that you supplied.

Yours Sincerely,

YOU
