Not Your Typical DJs...

 

Your vision for your party is important when considering the music and the songs that are played will have an incredible impact on your guests' overall perception of the party. Your event's success depends on hiring exceptional vendors who understand your specific goals and can bring them to life. You'll have a personalized and specific, one of a kind, music format for your vibe, theme or vision.  No one size fits all, "filler music" or cookie-cutter music playlists here... you deserve better for your event. You deserve it and you get it... more than just going through the motions.

When prospective clients talk with several other DJs they quickly realize how our expertise, professionalism, eye for detail and commitment is outside the norm for the industry. 
Each of the DJs in the Collective have literally thousands of hours playing all genres of music at many different types of events.


You want a top, nationally recognized DJ who is routinely sought out by other music lovers and socialites looking for a special music format to create a phenomenal impression and make their event buzz with a stellar soundtrack. Having played parties for serious audiophiles as well as celebrity events for high profile clients like blockbuster film actors, Hollywood producers, top recording artists, sports stars and US Governors the theme is constant. We are hired because we are unlike the other guys and gals and know how to play great music that will complement your party. We've all played many thousands of hours over the years compared to your average mobile DJ who's probably only logged a few hundred hours behind the decks.

Owner, Professional DJ, Music Expert, Animal Lover

Carl Jr. knew music was in his future from a young age. He's played virtually every kind of music for every kind of crowd.  In his impressive career (15+ years), he's been called the "anti-DJ" for leading the charge to shed the stereotypical image of the campy, over-the-top, attention seeking DJ. Committed to professionalism, attention to detail and strong work ethic, he and his DJ collective are dedicated experts with unmatched knowledge of many styles of music and unrivaled mixing prowess. 

With a relatively simple yet dynamic mission to provide superb music perfectly themed and timed for each client at every event, without all of the uneccessary DJ fluff which diminishes the event. He gets it.

Carl's expert opinion regarding trends in wedding music and playing for discerning clients has been featured in articles found in Modern Bride, Baltimore Bride, Style and I Do magazines, as well as Wedding Wire's Ask The Experts and even other industry sites on the web.  Having played all over the place and pretty much every genre of music, his dedication to his craft is the difference between just an "OK" party and a phenomonal, memorable event. You'll know that you've got a DJ whose name comes up when clients often refer to their "dream team" to push their party over the top.

Michael did a great job by keeping the dance floor packed! Our ceremony was seamlessly wired for sound, and we also had several custom cuts of music (for entrances, cake cutting, etc.) and Michael did not miss a beat with any of them. The portfolio of music Michael had was broad, and he was able to cater to the musical tastes of multiple generations!
