Luis is excellent. I hired him for a private party for my birthday and he was awesome. Very nice and easy to work with and took my feedback very well. He did a great job mixing the set and was extremely professional. I would recommend him to anyone. More...

DJ Pagan is a consummate professional who values your time. He keeps up with his commitment and delivers to your fullest expectation. I had reached out to him for deep house music and he created fantastic mixtapes using my playlist. Originally we had planned to have him play it at a party but the party got cancelled and he still kept up with his commitments. I assure you he is top quality and very reliable. I recommend him unreservedly! More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
• Reading the crowd: Pay attention to the vibe and preferences of your audience and adjust your music accordingly.
• Mixing it up: Vary the tempo, genres, and styles to keep things interesting and prevent monotony.
• Building energy: Gradually increase the intensity and tempo to create peak moments and maintain momentum.
• Engaging with the crowd: Interact, encourage participation, and create a connection with the audience.
• Playing crowd-pleasers: Incorporate popular and familiar tracks that guarantee a dance floor fill-up.
• Keeping the flow: Avoid abrupt changes or long breaks between songs to maintain the energy.
Remember, a great party DJ is attuned to the crowd's energy and adapts their set to keep the dance floor rocking all night!

I strive for seamless track blending, introducing fresh and innovative sounds to my listeners.
