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!

 Overfelt High School Prom at Blanco Urban Venue – A Night to Remember in Downtown San Jose

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. From setup to the final song, everything went off smoothly, starting with quick and easy access to the parking garage for unloading.

The venue’s three levels brought unique vibes to the event. Students enjoyed a delicious meal upstairs in the elegant dining area, while the dance floor downstairs kept the energy high all night long. We brought the heat with a mix of Latin hits, hip hop, and a touch of pop — exactly what Overfelt's crowd wanted. One of the night's highlights was announcing the prom court, adding that special touch to an already unforgettable evening.

Blanco’s Great Room provided ample space for dancing under chic chandeliers, while the Rooftop Terrace offered perfect spots for sunset selfies and chill-out moments. This venue’s built-in style, full kitchen, and modern amenities made it an ideal setting for prom night.

Located in San Pedro Square, Blanco is surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and late-night snack spots — great for both students and staff. Plus, it’s easy to get to with public transit and nearby parking.

Whether you’re planning a prom, formal, or graduation party, Blanco Urban Venue stands out as one of the best in the South Bay. Big thanks to Overfelt High for bringing us out — you made it a night to remember!

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!

Hosting a quinceañera in Seaside, part of the beautiful Bay Area, is always a special experience. I was fortunate enough to be called in just a week before the big day to DJ for this lively event, serving San Jose, Seaside, Monterey, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy. When preparing for any event, especially a quinceañera, I always ask for a playlist to get a sense of the vibe the hosts envision. Usually, this includes a mix of Spanish and English music. However, this particular celebration had a unique request: an all-cumbia playlist.

The request was clear — cumbias all night long! It was a fun challenge, and I made sure to tailor the music to the crowd. I kicked off the event by playing some old-school ranchera music during dinner to give the older guests something familiar. However, as the night progressed, the hosts asked for the party to fully embrace cumbias from start to finish, and that’s exactly what we did!

From the dance floor to the special father-daughter dance, we kept the energy high with a variety of cumbias, merengues, and even some salsa. After the cake cutting, I mixed in a few English songs, but we quickly returned to the beloved cumbia rhythms that kept everyone dancing all night long. The fun didn’t stop there — the energy was so contagious that we ended up extending the dance portion of the night by an hour!

Whether it’s a quinceañera in Seaside, Monterey, or anywhere in the Bay Area, providing the perfect soundtrack for such a meaningful event is a joy. If you’re planning a celebration, be sure to consider a unique playlist that reflects your family’s style and vibe — just like this unforgettable Seaside quinceañera!

Prepping for a 4-Hour Vinyl DJ Set: The Art of Curating Your Collection

Preparing for a 4-hour vinyl DJ set in 2025 is a far cry from the days when I used to carry six heavy record crates to a gig. These days, I’m down to carry four crates. My arms and back will thank me later. The process has become an exercise in selection, as I’m faced with the challenge of narrowing down my collection of vinyl records.

In the early 2000s, vinyl was on its way out. While everyone else switched to CDs and then MP3s, I held onto vinyl, stubbornly resisting the digital revolution. By 2010, most of us had embraced digital formats, but I kept my records in case vinyl ever made a comeback. And though vinyl didn’t get lighter, its mystique never faded. The  experience of spinning a record on my beloved Technics 1200 turntables is something that MP3s can’t imitate.

When it comes to the music I’ll be bringing to my next set, the decision-making is just as tough. I’ve handpicked a selection of freestyle, 80s new wave, and some classic 90s R&B. No set would be complete without funk, so I’ve made sure to pack a few essential party tracks. But then, the dilemma: Should I take my 90s house records, or trade them for 2000s party anthems? I’ve always loved playing 90s house, but looking at the crowd, I’m betting the 2000s vibes will hit harder.

Ultimately, it’s all about reading the crowd and creating a memorable atmosphere. Whether you’re sticking with vinyl or moving into the digital realm, curating the perfect set takes time and intuition. I know I need to spend some time with my vinyl before my next vinyl show  but it feels good knowing I can  only play what I bring like the good old  days.

For the second year in a row, we hosted an unforgettable corporate event at the prestigious Capital Club in San Jose. However, this year’s celebration was bittersweet, as we learned the venue will be closing its doors at the end of the year.

The Capital Club has been a beloved spot, and I personally have had the pleasure of playing five times over the past two years. Known for its stunning panoramic views and lively atmosphere, it was always bustling with activity. On any given day, you could see 3-4 events happening simultaneously, a true testament to its popularity.

Our party was a great celebration. The evening kicked off with an array of delicious appetizers followed by a mouthwatering dinner spread. As the night progressed, we filled the air with festive cheer, spinning Christmas tunes and popular pop hits that had everyone humming along.

One of the evening’s highlights was the heartwarming segment where the boss read employee-written speeches—each one filled with appreciation and personal reflections. Afterward, the fun ramped up with a White Elephant gift exchange, which brought plenty of laughter and surprises.

We wrapped up the night with a light dance session, bringing everyone together on the floor to celebrate the season and the memories we’ve created.

As the Capital Club prepares to close, we are grateful for the incredible moments and events it has hosted over the years. Its elegance and charm will be missed by many, but the memories will live on.

Whether it’s corporate events, holiday parties, or personal celebrations, this venue has left a lasting impression on San Jose’s community.

Here’s to the Capital Club—thank you for the memories!
