This year’s annual corporate holiday event at the historic Hayes Mansion in San Jose was another memorable celebration—and our third year hosting this gathering. After spending the previous two years at the Capitol Club, returning to a new venue brought a refreshing change of scenery. Hayes Mansion, known for its stunning architecture and spacious grounds, proved to be the perfect setting.

The property was bustling that day, with multiple events happening simultaneously. While a larger event occupied the main ballroom, our group enjoyed a more intimate setting on the opposite side of the property. Parking was plentiful, making arrivals easy and stress-free for our team.

We were assigned a comfortable mid-sized room equipped with six well-spaced tables, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for our under-30-guest crowd. As always, our boss—who has truly perfected the role of host—kicked off the evening with his signature monologue. Equal parts humorous and heartfelt, his opening set the tone for the night. A particularly touching moment came when he read letters submitted by staff, sharing their favorite Christmas memories and what they’re most thankful for this year. It’s a simple tradition, but one that always brings warmth and connection to the event.

The energy shifted as we dove into the always-anticipated white elephant gift exchange. Complete with drumrolls and perfectly timed Jeopardy-style sound effects, the game became a lively highlight filled with laughter and good-natured competition.

To wrap up the evening, the final hour transformed into a cozy dance party. With upbeat music playing for our small group, guests mingled, danced, and enjoyed the festive spirit.

Overall, this year’s corporate event at Hayes Mansion delivered a perfect mix of fun, tradition, and holiday cheer—an experience we’re already looking forward to repeating.

The Chick-fil-A company party in Emeryville was an energetic and heartwarming celebration, marking the third time in four years that the team has gathered for this annual event. This year’s festivities brought together employees, leadership, and families for an evening full of music, appreciation, and lively activities—perfect material for anyone searching for insights into corporate holiday events or team-building celebrations.

The night kicked off with classic Christmas music, setting a festive tone and filling the room with holiday cheer. As the playlist shifted, Spanish music began to weave into the mix, and that’s when the energy truly lifted. The upbeat rhythms got people moving, clapping, and connecting, showing just how powerful a multicultural soundtrack can be at a corporate gathering.

Before the dancing began, the team paused for a series of appreciation speeches. Leaders expressed gratitude for the hard work, growth, and dedication shown throughout the year. These meaningful moments added depth to the evening, reminding everyone of the purpose behind the celebration.

Two interactive games followed, keeping the crowd laughing and engaged. The first was a hilarious challenge: unwrapping a gift while wearing bulky oven mitts—much harder than it sounds and wildly entertaining. The second game brought out the competitive spirit with a fast-paced round of Jeopardy, customized with company-related questions. Both activities encouraged teamwork and created memorable bonding moments.

Community Comes Together at Human I.T–Sponsored Event in Palo Alt

Last night’s Human I.T–sponsored community event in Palo Alto was a powerful reminder of what happens when people come together to support digital access and celebrate connection. Hosted at a local venue in the heart of Palo Alto, the event drew a long line of excited community members eager to receive free laptops and enjoy an evening of festivities.

From the moment doors opened, the energy was incredible. Families, students, and residents gathered not just for the technology giveaway, but for the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests were treated to cotton candy, hot cocoa, and delicious tacos—comfort food that set the tone for a night filled with gratitude and joy.

The event also featured special appearances from the newly elected Palo Alto Mayor and a state senator, both of whom spoke about the importance of digital equity and community-focused initiatives. Their presence highlighted the growing recognition of how essential technology access is for education, employment, and everyday life.

Originally scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event’s momentum carried well beyond the planned time. Our team began playing music at 6:00 p.m. and kept the vibe going until 8:30 p.m. Even after 8:00 p.m., people were still arriving to pick up their laptops, and we were more than happy to keep the energy high. The excitement and appreciation from the community made every extra minute worth it.

By the end of the evening, hundreds of people had received devices that will help them stay connected and empowered. The positive atmosphere, the generous support from Human I.T, and the incredible turnout made this event one to remember.

It was more than a laptop giveaway—it was a celebration of access, opportunity, and community spirit.

Several months ago, our team connected with a local high school that was preparing for its annual Homecoming celebration. During that initial conversation, the school inquired about our high school event DJ services. They asked about the age of our lead DJ, and when we shared that he was 32, they ultimately decided to go with a younger and more economical option for their event. We completely respected their decision and wished them a successful Homecoming.

Shortly after their dance, the school reached out again—this time with zero hesitation. They booked us immediately for their next celebration, and we were more than happy to welcome them with open arms. The students provided us with a detailed playlist, and we made sure to prepare a set that aligned perfectly with their vision.

When the event night arrived at The Plex, the evening started with students enjoying the wide variety of games and attractions the venue has to offer. From arcade challenges to competitive group activities, the energy was high even before the first song played. It was clear that the students were excited to make the most of every moment.

As the night progressed, the focus shifted from games to the dance floor. Once the music started and the lights came alive, the students gathered together and truly danced the night away. Their enthusiasm grew with each song, filling the venue with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

What began months ago as a simple conversation turned into a meaningful partnership. We were honored to be trusted with their event, and witnessing the students enjoy such an incredible night reminded us why we love what we do.

This week, I had the opportunity to DJ my third middle school event of the semester in Milpitas, and it turned out to be another high-energy success. Even though it was a quick two-hour set, the students brought incredible energy from the moment the music started. Middle school dances in Milpitas always have a unique vibe—full of excitement, fast-paced requests, and a room full of students ready to move.

For this event, I worked primarily off the school’s playlist, which they shared ahead of time. Having that list made it easy to plan the general flow, but, of course, middle schoolers love to throw in their own requests throughout the night. Between trending pop hits, fan-favorite throwbacks, hip-hop, and upbeat dance tracks, I did my best to incorporate as many requested songs as possible using the music already available on my laptop. Keeping the momentum high while juggling spontaneous requests is always part of the fun, and this crowd definitely kept me on my toes.

What stood out most was the positive energy. From the first track to the last, the students were fully engaged—singing along, forming circles, and hyping up their friends during every beat drop. These kinds of events are a reminder of why I love DJing: creating an atmosphere where everyone can let loose and enjoy the moment.

As the semester continues, I’m looking forward to more Milpitas school events and bringing the same level of excitement to each one. Whether it's working off a curated playlist or adapting to fast-moving requests, delivering a fun and memorable experience is always the goal.

If you’re planning a school event in Milpitas and need a DJ who knows how to keep the energy high, I’ve got you covered.

The  Computer History Museum hosted an unforgettable corporate event this year, marking the third consecutive year we’ve partnered together—and each year keeps getting better. With a tradition of choosing a new venue annually, this year’s celebration at the iconic Computer History Museum added a unique and modern atmosphere that perfectly matched the energy of the night.

From the moment guests arrived, the excitement was undeniable. The crowd filled the bottom floor and even gathered along the stairs, creating an amazing multi-level visual that amplified the sense of community and connection. With speakers positioned both behind and in front of our setup, the sound wrapped around the entire space, delivering an immersive experience that kept everyone moving.

One of the biggest highlights of the evening was the music. This year, the company wanted a playlist that was truly inclusive, reflecting the diverse tastes of their team. We took that vision and ran with it—playing everything from upbeat Latin music to global hits and crowd-favorite classics. The Latin rhythms, in particular, were a huge hit, filling the floor with energy and keeping guests dancing and smiling throughout the night. The lively beats brought people together, ignited the atmosphere, and gave the event a vibrant, celebratory feel.

As always, the Computer History Museum event proved to be one of the standout celebrations of the year. It’s been an honor to support this company for three years in a row, watching their events grow in creativity, inclusivity, and pure fun. With a new venue every year and an enthusiastic team that loves great music, we’re already excited to see what next year brings.

If you're planning a corporate event and want dynamic, inclusive entertainment that keeps the energy high, this celebration was a perfect example of how powerful the right music and atmosphere can be.

This engagement party in Milpitas was the perfect blend of culture, music, and nonstop celebration. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was warm, energetic, and full of anticipation for the couple’s special night. As the DJ, my goal was to create a seamless musical journey that honored both families—bringing together the soulful grooves of old-school R&B with the vibrant, high-energy beats of Bollywood.

The evening kicked off with heartfelt speeches from close friends and family. Each message was filled with love, laughter, and memories that highlighted the couple’s beautiful story. Soon after, the ring ceremony took center stage. Surrounded by cheering guests and emotional smiles, the couple exchanged rings in a moment that blended tradition with modern flair.

Once the formalities wrapped up, it was officially party time—and the dance floor never slowed down. Mixing genres was the highlight of the night. The crowd vibed instantly with the smooth classics of R&B, and as the evening progressed, Bollywood hits brought a rush of energy that had everyone on their feet. From aunties to cousins to lifelong friends, the fusion playlist kept every age group engaged and dancing.

What made this Milpitas engagement party truly unforgettable was how effortlessly the music reflected the couple’s identity—a celebration of where they come from and who they are together. Blending two iconic genres created a soundtrack that felt personal, meaningful, and undeniably fun.

By the end of the night, guests were still asking for “one more song,” and the dance floor was full till the final beat. It was a night of joy, culture, and rhythm—an engagement celebration that set the perfect tone for the beautiful journey ahead.

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.
