80th Birthday Celebration in Riverside: A Night of Classic R&B, Funk, Line Dancing, and 80s Hip-Hop

An unforgettable 80th birthday celebration in Riverside brought family and friends together for a night filled with music, dancing, and great food. This milestone event honored a remarkable life, and the atmosphere was warm, joyful, and full of energy from start to finish. The playlist focused heavily on timeless 60s and 70s R&B, creating a soulful foundation that connected every generation in the room. Classics from artists like The Temptations, The Supremes, and Earth, Wind & Fire brought out smiles, nostalgia, and plenty of singing along as guests remembered their favorite musical eras.

Line dancing played a central role throughout the evening. The dancefloor came alive with well-known favorites such as the Electric Slide and the Wobble, giving everyone an opportunity to participate together. These dances encouraged unity, laughter, and shared moments that made the celebration feel both personal and lively. Every coordinated step and joyful cheer reflected the spirit of togetherness that made the event special.

As the night progressed, the energy shifted into deeper grooves with funk classics, followed by upbeat 80s hip-hop that kept the celebration going strong. The blend of soulful melodies, rhythmic basslines, and nostalgic beats ensured that the party never lost momentum. Whether guests were dancing, reminiscing, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, the music tied the entire evening together beautifully.

Good food added even more to the experience. Delicious BBQ ribs and yams were crowd favorites, offering comfort and flavor that perfectly matched the warmth of the celebration. With great food and a carefully curated playlist, the party delivered the perfect balance of tradition and fun.

This Riverside celebration proved that great music, good food, and shared joy never go out of style. It was a night of memories, smiles, and dancing that honored 80 years in the best way possible.

Bringing the Energy to a 7-Hour Soccer Tournament DJ Set

Bringing the Energy to a 7-Hour Soccer Tournament DJ Set

This weekend I had the opportunity to DJ a seven-hour soccer tournament, and it was an experience that really highlighted what it means to be prepared, professional, and connected to the crowd. The event included families, players of all ages, and a mix of cultures, so the music needed to reflect that. I focused on a blend of Latin music—reggaeton, cumbias, salsa, merengue, corridos, bachata—and mixed in some fun English tracks that kept the energy high and the environment positive.

Before the event, I asked about the previous DJ who handled the tournament in years past. I learned that the last two years he had arrived late—one year even showing up two hours behind schedule—and still needed extra time to set up. For an event as large and energetic as a soccer tournament, that simply isn’t acceptable. Music sets the tone from the first whistle.

We arrived at 7:20 AM for a 9:00 AM start time to ensure a smooth setup. The previous DJ used only two speakers to cover both a full soccer field and a basketball court. I knew that wouldn’t support clear, consistent sound. We set up four speakers and positioned them to ensure music and announcements were heard across the entire field. The difference showed immediately.

One of the best compliments of the day came from someone who said, “We’ve hired many DJs before and they all failed. You’re actually good.” That meant everything.

So what’s the secret to playing a great set? It’s simple: Look at your audience. Play music they know. When people hear songs that speak to them, they connect, they respond, and the energy becomes unforgettable.

Celebrating Leland’s 40-Year High School Reunion in Style

There’s nothing quite like a high school reunion — and Leland High School knows how to throw one! We were thrilled to be part of Leland’s 40-Year Reunion, continuing our long-standing relationship with their amazing alumni community. After working with them for their 35th reunion and returning last year for their 40th celebration, it was an honor to bring the energy once again for another incredible class milestone.

One of the event organizers, who attended last year’s reunion, reached out to us to make sure we were part of this year’s party — and of course, we said yes! Our team was excited to recreate that same fun, nostalgic vibe that everyone loved. We even brought back last year’s perfect playlist, filled with timeless hits from the 70s and 80s that got everyone singing, dancing, and reliving their favorite high school memories.

Adding a special touch, one of our DJs is a proud Leland alum, and he knew exactly how to keep the crowd on their feet all night. His insider knowledge of the school’s spirit and music taste made the night feel even more personal and unforgettable.

From setup to the final song, the dance floor was packed with smiling faces, laughter, and great music. We love helping old friends reconnect through music and memories — and we’re already looking forward to the next Leland reunion!

If you’re planning a high school reunion, let us help make it a night to remember. Our experienced DJs know how to bring energy, nostalgia, and fun to every event!

Two Fabulous Homecomings Light Up East San Jose

East San Jose was buzzing with excitement as two incredible homecomings brought the community together for unforgettable nights of music, dancing, and pure good vibes. Both events celebrated school spirit and unity, yet each had its own unique energy and atmosphere.

The first homecoming took place indoors, transforming the student union into a vibrant dance floor. The DJ kept the crowd moving with a mix of older pop hits that everyone could sing along to — think early 2000s throwbacks and timeless anthems that never go out of style. Between the shimmering lights and the crowd’s energy, it was the perfect blend of nostalgia and high school fun.

Meanwhile, just a few miles away, and a  week later, another East San Jose homecoming took the celebration outdoors. Under the stars, students danced the night away surrounded by cool fall air and beautiful lighting. This event leaned a bit more toward semi-current hip hop tracks, blending in some classic favorites to keep everyone on their feet. The outdoor setup gave it a festival-like feel — open, lively, and full of great energy from start to finish.

Both homecomings showed what makes East San Jose so special — a community that knows how to celebrate together. Whether inside or outside, it was all about joy, connection, and music that moved everyone. From throwback pop to today’s hottest hip hop, these homecomings were proof that when the beats are right and the energy is high, East San Jose knows how to party!

Patrons couldn’t resist joining in, and even staff members took a break from their duties to show off their moves.

As the evening progressed, the DJ seamlessly transitioned into old-school English hits, giving everyone a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Classic pop, disco, and R&B tracks had the store buzzing with excitement, appealing to guests of all ages. The mix of music styles not only celebrated diverse cultures but also created a community spirit that everyone could enjoy.

Decorated with Halloween flair, the store was the perfect backdrop for this musical celebration. Costumes, spooky decorations, and a lively DJ setup turned a regular shopping trip into a mini festival. Staff and patrons shared laughs, danced, and enjoyed treats while celebrating the Halloween spirit together.

Events like this showcase how music can unite people across generations and backgrounds. Our Pacoima store’s Halloween DJ party was more than just an event—it was an experience, combining the best of Spanish music and old-school English classics for an unforgettable night.

Trunk or Treat in Burbank: A Scary  Elementary School Celebration!

This year’s Trunk or Treat in Burbank at our local elementary school was an absolute hit! After last month’s lively Back-to-School Night, we kept the fun rolling with a Halloween celebration full of music, games, and community spirit.

The evening kicked off with upbeat, danceable Halloween tracks that had both kids and parents moving to the rhythm. While our Back-to-School Night was more “poppy,” this time we turned up the energy with festive hits perfect for dancing and spooky fun. From the moment the first song played, everyone knew it was going to be a night to remember.

Students had a blast playing games like “Wrap the Mummy,” where they raced to cover friends in toilet paper, and “Ring Toss on the Cone Hat,” which turned out to be a crowd favorite. The laughter and excitement filled the air as each grade competed in friendly challenges for prizes and bragging rights.

When the competitions wrapped up, it was time to dance! We got everyone involved — kids, parents, and even teachers — with classic group dances like the Conga Line and Line Dancing. The energy was contagious, and soon the whole crowd was on their feet.

Of course, no Trunk or Treat would be complete without the decorated cars! Families went all out this year, transforming their trunks into spooky, funny, and creative masterpieces. There were contests for originality and presentation, and every car handed out plenty of candy to happy trick-or-treaters.

Our Burbank Trunk or Treat event was more than just Halloween fun — it was a wonderful way to bring our school community together once again. We can’t wait to see what creative surprises next year will bring!

Spooktacular Halloween Event at Campbell Apartments

🎃

We had an incredible time once again bringing the energy and music to this year’s Halloween event at the Campbell apartments! A few years ago, we had the pleasure of hosting a fun-filled summer bash at the same location, and last year’s Halloween celebration was such a hit that we were thrilled to be invited back for round two.

This year’s event was bigger and better than ever! We provided the background music as guests arrived and enjoyed delicious food and drinks. The festive setup, creative costumes, and lively atmosphere made it the perfect night for residents to relax, mingle, and get into the Halloween spirit.

As the evening went on, things turned up a notch with a full-on dance party. Once everyone finished munching, we got the crowd moving with a mix of classic Halloween tunes—from “Thriller” to “Monster Mash”—blended with today’s hottest hits. Our goal was to keep the dance floor packed and the vibes high, and judging by the energy in the room, we nailed it!

We love being part of community events like this one. The management team at the Campbell apartments always does an amazing job organizing these get-togethers, and it’s great to see residents come together for some fun and connection.
