Introduction: I've been DJing for over 15 years and I have very good mixing skills and a broad range of music for any crowd including clean versions of popular songs. Before an event I make sure to keep in touch with my clients so that everything runs smoothly on that day. I make sure that I have any music that is requested ahead of time. I also show up early to each event to ensure that I have enough time for preparation. Please do not hesitate to listen to some of my work on mixcloud.com/djek28. I love music and I love to see people enjoying the music I play whether it's someone just bopping their head or a group of people dancing like they just don't care. Sometimes it's just nice to be part of a special event where people are getting together and having a good time.

DJ EK (Mike) was the best DJ I could've imagined for our wedding! He was super flexible with our song request list beforehand and he took the time to know how we wanted the reception to flow. He also just picked his own songs that totally matched our playlist - songs we totally forgot about but that we would've wanted on our list anyway. He was really dependable, courteous and made the reception so fun for our guests. I'd highly recommend him for any event you have! Thanks so much, Mike! Adrienne and Kenny

Mike DJ'd a corporate event for us this past Monday and did a fantastic job. He is easy to work with, flexible, accommodating, professional, and had an excellent attitude the entire time! I have worked with many DJs in the DMV area and it's a very select group that I would want to work with a second time. He has definitely made that cut! Thank you Mike!

Michael was an incredible DJ at my son's Bar Mitzvah party at Lucky Strike in NYC! He had the crowd dancing and even my son who says he doesn't like to dance was dancing like I had never seen him dance before! Mike's music choices gave a great vibe to the party and he was just an overall sweet, professional guy to work with. I recommend him without hesitation! Thanks so much Mike! We will definitely book you for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in 3 years!:)

DJ E.K. worked with our organization's Spring Formal event last week; working with him was great! He was very flexible with the songs list (no restrictions or limits to any songs). He also added a couple songs that weren't on the list, but flowed well. DK E.K. knew how to keep the party going and lively!

I've worked with EK for YEARS. Having worked events in different capacities for nearly 20 years, he's the best. First, he's always accessible -takes calls, responds to texts and emails. Hell take your requests, play what you want and deliver a non-stop musical parade of the hits that keep the crowd engaged and dancing. Hes a master at feeling at crowds and not over-reaching or under-delivering the musical mix. Too often DJs make the music and selection about them instead of the crowd. Thats never the case with him. Plus, he has an endless range of music in his library, so he can play to different audiences from Sweet 16s that hes actually done for me, to weddings and birthdays. Ive seen him operate in each of these and each time, he pulled it off with flying colors. To top it off, hes generous with his time and never watches the clockand his prices are always reasonable. In a DJ world with imitators that arent true to the craft, DJ EK is a throwback who knows how to marry music with audiencesand he can scratch if necessary!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge around $100 per hour depending on the type of event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process for working with a new customer is to set up a meeting to discuss musical preferences and for weddings I have the couples fill out a form with the events and any music requests.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I just try to keep up with the latest music and practice when I can.
