I love all kinds of music! As a DJ, I tend to focus on what makes people happy and gets them moving. I specialize in:
- Classic soul/R&B (60s/70s Stax, Motown, Philly soul, etc.)
- Disco/funk
- Electro/go-go
- World psychedelia (tropicalia, cumbia, afrobeat, turkish, etc.)
- Reggae/dub
- New wave/post-punk
- Hip hop/new jack swing (mostly 70s-early 90s classics)
- Jazz/blues (from satchmo to coltrane)
- Yacht rock (70s/80s smooth)
- Classic rock (early RnR, garage rock, rockabilly, psychedelic, pop, prog, hard rock, etc.)
- 80s (from dance pop to hair metal)
I can also do themed events based on the above genres.
I enjoy mixing “hidden gems” with songs everyone knows, but I will tailor to your desired experience.
Yes, of course! If you request a particular song or artist in advance, I will make sure to bring them with me. If you request a song/artist at the gig, you’re at the mercy of what I already have with me.
I prefer to stick with vinyl, but I can incorporate digital sources (iTunes, Spotify, etc.) upon request. I just need to know in advance.
My aim is to please. I want to ensure that your event is fun and successful, and that you hear what you want to hear.
That said, you are hiring me to experience a vinyl DJ, so the majority of my set (if not 100%) will be sourced from vinyl.
My personal collection spans approximately 8,000 LP records and another several thousand 7″ 45s.
