Coyote Ranch: The Perfect Bay Area Venue for Large Corporate Events Bay Area DJ serving San Jose, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy

If you're planning a large corporate event in the Bay Area, look no further than Coyote Ranch in Morgan Hill/ San Jose area. With ample space, friendly staff, and plenty of parking, it’s a fantastic venue for companies looking to host a big gathering.

For over 30 years, a major union has held its annual company celebration here, bringing together over 3,700 attendees this year. The event features delicious food, unlimited soft drinks, and a variety of adult beverages—creating the perfect setting for employees and their families to relax and enjoy.

As a Bay Area DJ, I’ve had the pleasure of working at Coyote Ranch a  few times. For this particular event, I arrived an hour early to set up sound equipment and provide a mic for their raffle. I originally planned to play all-Spanish music, but after meeting the long-time emcee, we mixed it up with country, old school hits, and hip hop—keeping the energy fresh for the full 6-hour celebration.

The party also featured fun activities like a talent show with kids, a pie-eating contest, and a team beer-chugging challenge. One of the highlights was the big raffle at the end, which kept guests around well past the scheduled time. What stood out most? The venue didn’t rush us out. That flexibility is rare—and appreciated.

Whether you're planning a corporate picnic, a holiday party, or a team-building retreat, Coyote Ranch is a top choice in the Bay Area. The spacious layout, supportive staff, and event-friendly setup make it a go-to for companies of all sizes.

Mountain View Corporate Event | Bay Area DJ Serving San Jose, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale & Mountain View

A few weeks ago, I got the call to DJ a corporate event in Mountain View for a Bay Area tech company. They were looking for a high-energy DJ setup with powerful sound, and we delivered. We brought out our full sound system, including our "big boy" speakers and additional tops, perfect for the large campus setting.

The event took place in the inner quad of their corporate campus, with my DJ booth positioned under a canopy on the second level. This gave me a great view to direct the sound across the festivities. The theme was tropical, giving it a relaxed, summer-vibe atmosphere—almost like a corporate pool party without the pool and the cabanas.

We spun a mix of 2000s and 2010s dance music, which kept the crowd energized. Guests were enjoying a variety of fun activities, including games, a raffle with great prizes, and generous servings of company swag. One of the highlights for me was the coconut drink served in an actual coconut, and of course, the churros!

Setup required going through elevators and indoor office space where employees were still working on laptops and large screens—but many came out to join the fun. The balance between work and fiesta was right on.

If you're planning a corporate event in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, or San Jose, and need a Bay Area DJ who can bring top sound, energy, and vibe, let’s talk. We specialize in corporate parties, company picnics, and tech campus celebrations across the Bay. Call on bwadj.com.

Rolling Through the Vibes at a San Jose Roller Rink

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.

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

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!

This past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to DJ the Overfelt High School prom at one of San Jose’s most stylish event spaces — Blanco Urban Venue. Located in the heart of downtown, Blanco offers a multi-level layout that perfectly suited the night’s festivities.

Middle School Dance in San Jose: Why Hiring a Pro DJ Matters

A few weeks ago, I received an email asking me to DJ a middle school dance in San Jose. The school provided a playlist with enough songs to cover about an hour and a half, but my set was scheduled for 2.5 hours. I made sure to play all their requested songs while also filling in the gaps with high-energy tracks that kept the students engaged and excited.

One thing became clear—these kids love a good mix of classics and trending hits. They had an absolute blast dancing to the Macarena, The Chicken Dance, Rich Baby Daddy, and Carnaval. Seeing them have fun and enjoy the music was an amazing experience. Even the staff took notice, mentioning that the energy was far better than past events where a parent DJed. In fact, one student even asked if a parent was playing, only to be told, "We have a real DJ today!"

Why Choose a Professional DJ for a Middle School Dance?

Many schools rely on volunteer parents who bring their own speakers and play music. While this is a budget-friendly option, here are a few things to consider:

·              Do they have access to the latest music? Teens want to hear the songs they love, not just a random playlist.

·              Can they curate a mix from multiple school dance events? A professional DJ has experience from various gigs and knows what works best.

·              Can they quick-mix to keep the energy up? A DJ who can seamlessly transition between songs prevents awkward silences and keeps the dance floor packed.

Sure, you can have a free DJ for "okay" results. But investing in a professional DJ guarantees a night that students will remember for years to come. So, for your next middle school dance in San Jose, make it special—hire a real DJ!
