This summer, I had the pleasure of DJing a beautiful wedding in Palo Alto. The couple’s planner reached out to me ahead of time, and we collaborated closely to create a perfect flow for the evening. I sent over my music planner, and we finalized the key songs for each special moment of the night. We made sure we implemented a lot of events and we have to fit it in a four hour time frame.

Cocktail hour kicked off with a smooth, live saxophone performance that set a classy tone. At 6 PM, guests entered the ballroom, and we jumped right into the grand entrance for the wedding party and bridal couple—set to Celebration by Kool and the Gang. Immediately after, the couple shared their first dance  by Babyface, marking the start of a tightly timed but beautifully executed evening.

The planner was both coordinator and guest, so I made sure to check in frequently while also coordinating with the photo and video teams. At times, I had to locate them myself to keep everything moving. After a heartfelt blessing from the parents, dinner was served, followed by touching speeches and a large group photo.

Next came the parent dances, bouquet and garter toss, and the ever-popular money dance—which really turned up the energy. The dance floor came alive with a throwback to the Backstreet Boys, quickly followed by a guest-requested 2000s hip-hop hit Pop, Lock and Drop it. Then we threw in songs just like it. It was definitely  party time!

We wrapped up the night with a couples' dance and then opened up the floor for everyone. From start to finish, this Palo Alto summer wedding was packed with love, laughter, and non-stop music.

Recently, I had djed a Friday night retirement party in Mountain View. The request came through Instagram, and when I asked what caught their attention, the response was simple: “Good vibe.”

The event took place on a military base, so getting in I had to show my Real ID and checking in with a guard at the gate. Driving through felt like entering a small city—families, kids on bikes, and a tight-knit community atmosphere. The venue itself was a cozy event house with a kitchen, perfect for this kind of party.

It was a surprise party, and the wife of the guest of honor handed me a playlist that blended classic house and soul—right up my alley. She also mentioned the crowd was from Chicago, so I made sure to include some hometown favorites and even stepped outside my usual set to download stepping tracks I hadn’t heard before. Turned out to be the right call—those songs packed the dance floor and gave a lot of energy

As dinner wound down, I shifted gears from soulful background tunes to r  and b jams that got the  toes tapping. From classic 2000s hip-hop like “Snap Yo Fingers” and “Crank That,” to newer hits and East Coast throwbacks, the vibe started to feel like a real club night. Quick mixing kept the energy up, and people were dancing between the tables, without any hesitation.

Who was the real MVP of the night? The wife. She was the life of the party, pulling everyone onto the floor. It was a great night and a lot of fun.

Serving Mountain View, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Fremont, and beyond—bringing the vibe to every celebration.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of DJing an unforgettable party in Gilroy. About five days before the event, I met with the family to go over my song selection. They shared their preferred tracks, which helped me create a custom playlist that truly reflected their taste.

The venue was located conveniently right off the freeway, making it easy for guests to find. It had a clean, spacious setup with plenty of parking and minimal neighbors—perfect for a lively party without noise complaints.

The host was incredibly welcoming and even invited me to eat. The food spread was impressive, featuring a taco guy serving fresh tacos alongside delicious Chinese food—a combo I didn’t know I needed but absolutely loved. For the kids, there was a jumper and a piñata, keeping them entertained all evening.

The vibe was nonstop fun. There was a generous bar pouring shots and beer all night long. We switched back and forth between English and Spanish music, keeping everyone on their feet. I kicked off the night with Bay Area hip-hop, transitioned into corridos, then moved to old-school funk, cumbias, and freestyle. Every genre hit just right, and the energy never dropped.

The party was originally planned until 8 PM, but everyone was having such a great time that we extended the music for another three hours, going strong from 3 to 11 PM.

Even though the venue owner had his own house sound system, we brought our own setup—and he was so impressed that he asked for our contact information for future events.

All in all, it was a night to remember in Gilroy—great people, great music, and great vibes!

Bay Area Grad Parties: Celebrating Success with Music, Dancing & Fun

We recently had the pleasure of DJing two unforgettable graduation parties in the Bay Area — one in Sunnyvale and the other in San Martin. Both events brought unique vibes, incredible energy, and tons of dancing, making them a joy to be part of.

Sunnyvale Graduation Party

The Sunnyvale grad party was all about celebrating a proud college graduate surrounded by friends and family. The atmosphere was upbeat from the moment we arrived. With a playlist packed full of high-energy Spanish music, the dance floor quickly became the center of attention. Everyone was ready to celebrate, and the crowd’s energy made it clear they came to party! The music, laughter, and good vibes flowed all night, creating an unforgettable night for the graduate and guests alike.

San Martin Graduation Party

The San Martin grad party was another incredible event — and one of our favorite families to work with! We’ve done multiple events for them, and each one just keeps getting better. Set on a spacious property with plenty of room to dance and celebrate, this party had a great mix of Spanish and English music. But once the sun went down, the real party began. Spanish music lit up the night and got everyone on their feet. The dance floor came alive, and the celebration continued late into the evening.

Whether it's Sunnyvale, San Martin, or anywhere in the Bay Area, we love bringing the soundtrack to your special moments. If you're planning a graduation party, wedding, or any celebration, let’s make it unforgettable together!

Rolling Through the Vibes at a San Jose Roller Rink

There’s nothing like switching up your routine and doing something fresh, and recently we took the good vibes to a whole new level at a local San Jose roller rink. This spot has quickly become one of our favorite hangouts, not just for skating but for bringing our own flavor to the scene.

The first time we hit the rink, we decided to go all out and bring vinyl. That’s right—real records. It was a bit more work setting everything up, but the sound and feel were absolutely worth it. There’s just something magical about skating to vinyl—it gives the entire experience a warm, nostalgic edge that digital can’t replicate.

On our next visit, we decided to push things further. Even though the rink already had a solid DJ setup, we brought an extra system to sneak in some quick mixing sessions. The goal? To layer in our own beats and blend them into the vibe already happening. It was spontaneous, fun, and added a unique twist that the crowd loved.

Musically, we leaned heavily into the old school—think classic funk grooves that keep your feet moving and your soul smiling. That funky, retro energy perfectly matched the rhythm of the skaters rolling by under the neon lights.

It was the last weekend for the roller rink. I am looking forward if they come back next year.

Tujunga Grad Party: A Night to Remember Full of Latin Music and Celebration

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of DJing an unforgettable graduation party in Tujunga, and it was a night packed with energy, great music, and amazing performances. The family called me way in advance to lock in the date, and I knew right away it was going to be a special event.

The party took place in a spacious hall that held around 150 guests. The vibe was lively from the start, with a strong Latin music influence that carried through the entire evening. I kicked things off with my DJ set, spinning a mix of upbeat Latin and Top 40 tracks for the first 45 minutes to warm up the crowd.

After that, a talented mariachi band took the stage for a full two hours. I filled in during their breaks to keep the momentum going. The energy was nonstop, and everyone stayed on their feet dancing and singing along.

Once the mariachi wrapped up, I switched gears and played party music for another hour—everything from reggaeton to cumbias. The night only got better with a surprise appearance by a Selena impersonator, who had the whole room singing along to “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.”

I followed up with another hour-long set before the grand finale: a Juan Gabriel tribute performer who absolutely stole the show. He went long, pouring his heart into every song, which left me with just 8 minutes to close the night. I made those 8 minutes count!

The Tujunga grad party was a night filled with culture, celebration, and unforgettable music. If you're planning a graduation party or special event, let’s talk early and make it just as memorable!

We were thrilled to receive a call for a return corporate event in Sunnyvale. With an early morning start, we arrived at 7 AM to set up, eager to deliver an exceptional experience. This time, we promised to bring four speakers, but decided to play it safe and brought six—because you can never have too much sound! The extra speakers ensured crystal-clear audio throughout the entire event, enveloping the stage with great sound quality.

The event took place under a large tent, which was a lifesaver from the hot California sun. Although the wind picked up, it didn’t stop us from giving our best performance. We kept an eye on the lighter umbrellas that kept tilting in the wind, making sure they didn’t interfere with the guests. While umbrella management wasn’t technically our job, we’re always happy to step in and help ensure everything runs smoothly.

As the crowd gathered, we had two talented DJs ready to keep the energy high. From 80s classics to 90s hits and classic rock anthems, we played a little bit of everything, making sure there was something for every taste. The seamless transitions between songs created the perfect vibe for the corporate crowd.

To wrap up the event, a raffle gave employees the chance to win exciting prizes, while food trucks and ice cream added a sweet touch to the festivities. It was a fantastic day of great music, lively atmosphere, and memorable moments, and we’re already looking forward to the next event in Sunnyvale!

I was really looking forward to being part of the Third Friday Art Walk in Gilroy, one of the South Bay’s most vibrant monthly events. While the main DJ area was already booked, we still had the opportunity to participate during the author talk segment—which gave us a perfect break in the action to set up. We quickly organized two DJ setups and jumped right into some fast-paced mixing, bringing energy and spontaneity to the evening.

Held on the third Friday of each month from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the Third Friday Art Walk is hosted by 6th Street Studios & Art Center. This free, family-friendly event transforms downtown Gilroy into a hub of creativity, featuring local artists, musicians, performers, and small businesses.

Each month brings something new, with rotating themes and activities like open mic nights, interactive installations, and art exhibits. Visitors can explore “art stops” throughout downtown—ranging from galleries and outdoor spaces to local cafes—while enjoying live performances and cultural showcases. Past highlights include Folklorico dance, open DJ sessions, and vibrant vendor markets.

Even though we weren’t in the main DJ zone, being part of the Art Walk still offered a great platform to share music and creativity with the community. The mix of art, culture, and live energy made it a night to remember.

If you're looking for things to do in Gilroy or want to connect with local creatives, the Third Friday Art Walk is the place to b
