It has been way too long since I've posted a mix!!⁠
⁠
But the wait is over! I've invested in a new recorder and am thrilled to present you with the first mix I've recorded on it. I included the crowd noise because it adds a cool dynamic, especially for a live mix! ⁠
⁠
Loyal Nine has straight-up party bar vibes. On this night, the Bruins had a home playoff game, and well... it didn't go well. That being said, we still had a decent post-game crowd roll through; we lost many of them later but ended with a strong second wind after 1AM. ⁠
⁠
This mix is mostly upbeat pop and dance. Have a listen at the link in the bio!⁠

🌸 🪩 Spring kicked off this weekend in pink, glam style! .koji.club_ Cherry Blossom Disco has been one of my favorite events to participate in in the past few years.

This year we danced, partied and drank amazing Sake under the disco ball.

I love being given the creative freedom to do my thing for this party. We upped lighting game even more this year, adding tons of pinspots to highlight multiple bard, florals and food vendors.

Musically we are always trying to keep a disco vibe while keeping the music fresh. During VIP hour we kept it chill and funky. As doors opened for the main event we shifted more upbeat and added in some disco classics and remixes.

As we got deeper in the evening we kept the disco vibes, and brought in disco style remixes of current pop while also looking to bring in more house, along with anything the had, disco horns, piano and strings.

As we moved closer to the end of the night we went in to 90s Dance and ended closed out the night with Alex Newell's Kill The Lights. (Actually we had 2 encore songs... but I guess you had to be there 🤷‍♂️)

I love the opportunity to partner with Event Professional Groups; it is a way to show off creativity and work with industry friends to create unique experiences. When Amanda from reached out and asked if I could help with the Cruel Intentions/Gossip Girl themed November Chapter meeting I jumped at the chance. The 90's alt rock vibe that went with the Cruel Intentions theme ws right up my alley!

I wanted to be very intentional with my music selections. I started with a base of the Cruel Intentions soundtrack and then built from there. I added more music that fit the era and sound. I then went through the soundtrack for Gossip Girl... which as a TV show was always going to be more music. It turns out that the show has featured more than 600 songs... I probably previewed at least 400 of them!

I ended up with a working playlist of about 120 tracks, of which around 45 made the final cut of actually getting played that night. I always try to build double to three times the amount of tracks that I will likely actually play. This gives me the flexibility to make song selections based on what is happening in the room and energy in real time.

When I design lighting, I usually work on weddings and corporate events, where I love creating a subdued and atmospheric vibe.⁠ ⁠ But every now and then, I get the chance to shake things up and do something a bit out of the ordinary!⁠ ⁠ This year was the second time @midwestdjslive invited me to handle the lighting for their nightlife events at the conference. I had this fun concept in mind from last year, but we didn’t get to use it back then. It was such a thrill to finally bring it to life this year!⁠ ⁠ The venue is a bit of a blank slate, which is exciting, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. With a lot of glass and a circular layout, I knew I had to get creative and not just rely on uplighting.⁠ ⁠ Plus, the room has low ceilings, so we couldn’t go too high with our lights. I decided to use pixel tubes in the ceiling for a cool effect. We placed intelligent moving heads off to the sides and added uplighting on the solid walls that faced the windows.⁠ ⁠ To add a touch of warmth and some nice wash light for the DJs, I included pin spots in the design. I controlled everything with the ADJ WolfMix, and it all came together beautifully!⁠ ⁠ DJs: @djeventsteve @djmistergray @chvn414⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #DJ #DJlife #weddingdj #nightlifedj #bostondj #bostonweddingdj #lightingdesign #ADJ #wolfmix #pixeltubes #nightlife #partylighting ⁠ #eventdesign #eventprofs #eventlighting #afterparty #openformatdj⁠ #djs #nightclub #eventproduction

Shoutout to all my seasoned DJs and wedding pros out there! Let’s talk about staying relevant in the DJ scene—especially as we’re all (let’s admit it) not getting any younger. Keeping your finger on the pulse is crucial, particularly if you want to connect with younger clients. Sure, we know the basics: listen to new music, scroll through Spotify, and keep an eye on the charts. But what about those deeper industry trends? Here are my top three strategies to help you stay ahead of the game: 1. **Hit Up Industry Conferences**: Seriously, DJ conferences have been game-changers for my career! The education, resources, networking, and friendships you can forge at these events are invaluable. I still remember my first conference—I felt like a deer in headlights, clueless and alone. But that experience opened the door to lifelong bonds, and now I often find myself on stage instead of sitting in the audience. Curious? Join me at @harvestofsound this December and the @pittsburghdjsummit in January! 2. **Broaden Your Gig Horizons**: Don’t just stick to weddings and private events! Dive into bar gigs, restaurant gigs, and club gigs. These experiences offer unique challenges that keep your skills sharp and your music fresh. Plus, you never know what new opportunities might come your way! 3. **Get Connected with Local Networking Groups**: In Boston, for instance, DJs like @djartiev host incredible quarterly meetups, and we also have umbrella groups like @wipa_org and @ileahq. These gatherings are fantastic for expanding your circle, meeting others in the event industry, and boosting your business. **Bonus Tip**: Embrace YouTube! We’re in a video-driven world where online learning reigns supreme. If you can’t find it on YouTube, it’s probably not worth your time. Just keep an eye out for the questionable content too! Let’s keep pushing the envelope and staying fresh in this ever-evolving industry! #DJ #DJlife #weddingdj #nightlifedj #newenglanddj #bost
