Summer Wedding in Palo Alto: (Bay Area dj serving San Jose, Sunnyvale and Morgan Hill)

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.

A Fun-Filled Night DJing in Gilroy: Music, Food & Good Vibes

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!

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

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!

Gilroy Art Walk (Bay Area Dj Serving Gilroy)

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

Why Two DJ Setups Are Changing the Game at Live Events (Bay Area dj serving San Jose, Gilroy and Sunnyvale)

If you’ve been to a high-energy party or cutting-edge event recently, you might have spotted something different: two DJs with separate setups instead of one. This emerging trend is turning heads—and transforming live performances in a big way.

We experienced this firsthand. The first time we rolled out a dual DJ setup, venue workers immediately approached us, saying they’d never seen anything like it. They loved the energy and asked for our business cards on the spot.

So why is this setup catching on?

Double DJ setups bring unmatched versatility and energy. With two pros on the decks, rapid tag teaming becomes possible. One DJ can drop a track while the other lines up the next, ensuring nonstop momentum and zero dead space. If the vibe needs a shift, it happens instantly—no awkward transitions, just smooth, high-impact mixing.

Beyond seamless flow, creative collaboration reaches new heights. DJs can feed off each other’s energy, blending genres, swapping live edits, and crafting mashups in real time. It’s an unpredictable, electric experience that keeps the crowd engaged.

Visually, the dual setup also adds to the show. Watching two DJs interact, trade beats, and hype the crowd creates an immersive atmosphere that a single setup just can’t match.

Whether it’s a wedding, festival, club night, or private event, two DJ setups offer a next-level experience. This isn't just more gear—it’s a game-changer in live music entertainment.

As more people seek unforgettable event moments, expect this trend to keep growing. Two DJs. Two setups. One unforgettable vibe.

Unforgettable High School Bash: Andrew Hill High School  Dance Party

We recently had the absolute pleasure of DJing a high-energy event at Andrew Hill High School — and what a night it was! After already rocking one of their school dances two times this year, we were invited back to DJ their May party and the energy didn’t miss a beat. From the first drop to the final song, the party vibes continued strong.

This time around, the students gave us a special twist — a Coachella-themed playlist. Think house music, Spanish jams, and non-stop dancing! The setlist was packed with fabulous beats, from EDM bangers to Latin rhythms that had everyone jumping, twirling, and waving their hands in the air like they were front row at a music festival.

The energy on the dance floor was awesome. Picture a sea of students under colorful lights, with bass drops shaking the room and everyone locked in the moment. Whether it was a reggaeton hit or a 2010s house anthem, the crowd never stopped moving.

Shout out to Andrew Hill High for trusting us again to bring the party. It’s always special when a school brings that much spirit and connection to the dance floor. We’re all about creating unforgettable moments, and this was one for the books.

If you're planning a school dance, prom, or private party and want a custom playlist that keeps the crowd hyped all night, let’s make it happen. We’ll bring the energy — all you need to do is show up ready to dance!

Victory Walk at Stanford: Music, Movement, and Meaningful Moments

This past weekend, we had the privilege of providing the soundtrack for the Victory Walk at Stanford, an inspiring event dedicated to raising funds for vital research. Hosted on the beautiful Stanford campus, this walk brought together passionate individuals and teams united for a powerful cause—funding research that could change lives.

The energy was undeniable from the moment we arrived. Groups of supporters showed up not just to walk, but to celebrate the progress and hope that comes from community-driven efforts. One of the highlights of the event was the recognition of top fundraising teams—shout out to the groups who went above and beyond in their efforts. Their dedication truly helped push the mission forward in a big way.

We brought the vibes with a mix of high-energy, feel-good music to keep participants moving and motivated. While it was technically a walk, the crowd couldn’t resist the beats—before long, people were dancing along the path, turning the walk into a mini celebration. It was incredible to watch folks smiling, moving, and enjoying themselves while standing behind such an important cause.

Events like the Victory Walk are a reminder of the power of music and community. Whether you're raising funds, awareness, or spirits, the right soundtrack can elevate the entire experience. We were honored to be part of such a meaningful day at Stanford, and we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to support a great cause through music.

If you're planning a charity walk or fundraising event and want to bring energy and excitement to your crowd, we’ve got you covered. Let’s make your next event unforgettable.
