It's all about the music...

Music matters

Whether you're at a party, bar, club, at home, or in your car, the music is what makes the moment.

We've all been to a party, venue, or event where the music is just not right.

And when the music isn't fun, you're not enjoying yourself as much as you should be.

I've been there many times...a bar with crappy music is annoying; a party with someone's personal playlist feels off...a club where the DJ doesn't match the crowd

Music makes the event

There needs to be an understanding of the situation, the vibe, the location, and the people involved.

The music must match the party and flow with the party. Yes, music can shift from house and dance to hip hop, pop, and back, if that's what's needed.

Music needs to be curated

I've been at this since the days of mix tapes...pulling out songs from albums and singles and ordering them based on a great flow...not just put in any random order, but based on what songs followed best from the previous. These weren't beatmixed, so the songs really had to relate.

Then, I got into actual mixing, first vinyl only, then CDs, and later digital.

Whatever the format, it's about gathering the proper tracks.

Music your way

I've been a professional DJ for 30 years...from big clubs and bars in DC, NYC, and Baltimore, loft parties, and corporate events, to neighborhood cookouts and 6th grade pool parties!

When I DJ, I like to take care of the people and the venue. It's not about what I like, it's about how to make the moment work for everyone. But don't worry, that doesn't mean you can't introduce new music or styles, it's just about timing.

That's why on my Mixes page, you can listen to a wide variety of dance music styles. I don't box myself into a single genre, as there is too much good music out there. Every occasion has its own flavor. My mixes range across house, tribal, hard house, pop remixes, deep house, techno, trance, hip hop, disco house, progressive, 2-step, reggaeton, freestyle, and more!

So, if you're in need of a DJ for a party, event, club, showroom, and you want the people to have fun, bring friends, purchase your products, and make sure your place is the place to be, please Contact me.

Or if you're a DJ yourself, or you own a venue where your DJs need to learn how to program music for the room instead of just playing for themselves and their friends, reach out.

Or if you just want a playlist put together, I can do that as well.
