My wife and I recently celebrated our wedding in Astoria, NY, and we're still both in a daze from the great experience we had thanks to DJ Mike who took our celebration to a whole other level.
DJ Mike did our reception and set the tone from the beginning until we had to make our vows. At the party, from the moment we stepped into the venue, the energy was high and he knew when to turn it on and off. My wife and I are actually DJs/Producers and Promoters ourselves, so we're very particular and I was nervous about someone else DJing our big day but obviously we can't do it so I really had to trust Mike and he delivered. He over exceeded my expectations and did an amazing job blending modern and classic Afrobeat hits, keeping the dance floor full and vibrant. He also played some of our favorite hip hop and R&B classics from the early 2000s.
His ability to read the crowd was bar none. He did a couple sets; one that catered to us in our 30/40s and one that catered to all of our parents and their friends who are 60 and up in the beginning of the night. Mike's versatility and attention to our guests made our wedding feel inclusive. I've been to too many weddings where the older folks didn't get to dance because it was too modern and for me it was really important to have our parents dance to some of their favorite hits too.
The presence of a charismatic host added another layer of entertainment to the evening as well, he's a comedian so he really had us rolling and sweating for real!
All in all if you're looking for a DJ who can turn your wedding into a moment for life; I highly recommend DJ Mike. We're grateful for the atmosphere he created. I'm not the type to write a review for anything but from a DJ to another DJ he really held his own and that's an understatement. My wife also really wanted him to get his props because we want another couple to have the same experience that we did.
I appreciate you Mike! Keep doing what you do!

Mike did my 25th birthday party last year and did a great job. As far as I know he Will be doing all my birthday parties because he’s just that good.

Mike came to do my 60th birthday day celebration and did a really really good job. I didn’t think he know about soul music from the 70s and 80s but he did and mixed them all in. Although he’s young he know the classic and is well versed as a do. More...

My wife an I spent months looking for a great Dj that can play music for my side which is African and her side which is Latino. My wife was referred to Mike by a girl friend who went to a party he did. She told her that “there’s an African guy that can play great Spanish music and would kill it”. So we searched him up and found him on Twitter and got the guy we needed. Of course the day of the wedding he delivered as advertised. Mixing in Reggeaton with Afrobeats in a way I never heard before. He’s the guy for the job if your looking for great Vibes. More...

Mike did my baby shower last year and left everyone dancing and having a great time. Originally I wasn’t going to even have a dj and just play music from my phone. But my husband insisted on it after hearing him dj at a party. I’m glad we did because till this day people still talk about my baby shower. More...

It was Amazing! He did my baby shower a few months ago and had everyone on the dance floor. Even my Grandmother from the Dominican Republic was getting loose on the dance floor. She’s kept saying “He’s soo Good” and she wants him o come back for her 75th birthday party. More...
Brianna
It was great. He did my baby shower and had me right on the dance floor at 7 months pregnant. I didn’t have to tell him what song to play he just knew. He’s Afrobeat selected is number 1. More...

I’m a big fan alot Afrobeats and R&B so he was the perfect fit for my 35 birthday party. Most dj aren’t really in tune with new stuff in that genre and he had new music I loved and never heard before. I ended up having to book an extra hour just because everyone was loving his music selection and didn’t want to leave. He’s great. More...

It was great. He did my 25th birthday and left every asking for his contact information. He just know exactly what to play at the perfect time. Very good at reading the crowd.
What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Keeping a steady tempo and a great selection of songs. Transitions are also important so the people can hear but cant feel the song change.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
Vibes Vibes Vibes. I only play music that makes ppl want to dance and move from side to side. I let my transition mixes do that talking as apose to getting on the mic and yelling for 4 hours. I also pride myself in playing music most ppl havent heard before. So half of my catelog library are new songs that are not mainstream but very good. I trust my ears and taste as apose to following what everyone else is playing.
What do you love most about your job?
I love taking ppl away from the issues, problems and drama they may have at home even if its for a few hours to make them dance. Even if they are not dancers theres no better feeling then getting the headknob from the guy in the back that im doing a great job and playing the right songs. Or the woman on the side asking me the name of this song so she can download the song.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Music is something I would do for free and did do for free before i started this business. I was always music inclined and was playing multiple instruments since 10 years of age. I was the young church kid that would fill in when the drummer couldn’t make ir or the guitarist was running late. So it only made since since i’ve always been musically inclined.
Why should our clients choose you?
A great Dj can ease pain or stress people can be going through. They take ppl on a mental vacation with a collection of songs that hit them in the right place on the soul. Thats what I aim to do everytime . I give it 100% everytime because there may be someone at the event that really needs this therapy im about to deliver.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Social distancing and wearing a mask when needed and crowded .
