No Comments Props By: taiga

FAN MAIL ROCKS! And DJ Mike is the rock star here. He rocked Kirsten & Jon’s wedding at the Ritz Carlton in New York City this past September!
Congrats Kirsten & Jon!

THANK YOU for DJing our wedding reception!

I’ve been told by so many of our guests that our reception was one of the best they’ve ever been to – I owe this all to the music!  You set the mood perfectly for each part of the evening.  Keeping the energy going right up until a huge finish!  I really appreciated your professionalism and responsiveness throughout the planning process.

I would recommend you highly to any prospective client!

Many thanks,
Kirsten

Apex & The Remixologists Raising Money To Help Youths In New York City

No Comments Events, Philanthropic By: taiga


We here at The Remixologists are aware of how lucky we are to make a living doing what we love! So when there’s a chance to give back to our community, we get involved. We have worked with APEX on various events over the past few years and we are happy to team up with them again! If you are in the New York metro area, please consider coming out and supporting a great organization. We WILL be getting busy on the turntables!

About APEX:
“APEX, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, empowers underserved youth, particularly Asian American students, in New York City through a combination of one-to-one mentoring relationships and educational programs. APEX was founded to support the development of healthy identities and future leaders through a powerful, comprehensive model that allows students to have an unparalleled advantage through a sustained engagement of up to 8 years. Now in its nineteenth year, APEX has attracted thousands of volunteers and has served thousands of youth, many of whom are now mentors and volunteers themselves.”

The Remixologists Live in Action At Connecticut Wedding… On Tape

No Comments Real Weddings, Wedding Videos By: taiga

We’ve been getting a lot of requests from folks who want to see us in action before booking our services.  Totally understandable!  Now we can’t invite prospective clients to a wedding we’re spinning (you wouldn’t want complete strangers hanging out at your wedding, right?)  So we’ll give you the next best thing, a video clip us live in action!

I’m sure you can find plenty of wedding DJ promo clips, but I’ll bet you most of them are highly edited, polished videos with a lot of special effects (ie. slow motion), short scenes with fast cuts and a lot of close ups, and a nicely pre-mixed music track to complete the razzle dazzle.  What does that tell you about their party rocking skills? Absolutely nada.

We believe in marriage, truth, and dancing your socks off! So what we present to you is almost 20 all natural minutes of a wedding we did in Connecticut over the summer.  No video editing.  No sound fibbing.  No special effects (unless you count silly flashing texts).  100% organic & raw, worthy of approval from both your nutritionist and Ol Dirty Bastard. Enjoy!

Christine & Mike’s 2 Minute Wedding Video (Hotel Palomar In Philadelphia, PA)

2 Comments Real Weddings, Wedding Videos By: taiga


Right before it got ICE COLD on the east coast (seemed like so long ago… brrr), I drove down and teamed up with DJ Mike to provide the soundtrack for Christine & Mike’s awesome wedding at the Hotel Palomar in Philly.  Wait, did I mention it was awesome?

Christine & Mike wanted a huge party and that’s what they got!  1 set of skyped in grandparents (impressive!), 2 hours of dancing, 3 entertaining toasts, and 110 songs later (that’s just the dancing part), it was a WRAP!  We captured so much good footage that I had to make a 4 minute edition (scroll to the bottom) in addition to the 2 minute time lapse video you see above capturing the essence of a smashing dance party!

AND we had the pleasure of meeting and working with some true wedding professionals:  Chill Weddings (hey christina!) and Our Labor of Love. Whitney (who makes a cameo in the video) and the team from OLOL were super nice and their smilebooth setup was so buttery smooth.  It was a beautiful sight to see in person!

Anyways, CONGRATS AGAIN CHRISTINE & MIKE! It was a blast!

Fan Mail from Christina & Joey!

1 Comment Props By: taiga

We LOVE getting fan mail!  We first met Christina while spinning parties at our alma mater (GO QUAKERS!) almost 8 years ago and it was an honor to help her celebrate another important life event!

Simon and Mike,

Thank you SO much for doing such an incredible job at our wedding! I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve been to where the sound has been an issue, but things could not have gone more smoothly! The sound was perfect, down to the great wireless [mics] and switching to Jane’s instrumentals [for the live performance during the ceremony] and the slideshow/video. And as always the music was fun and current and really got the party started! You guys never disappoint and I can’t thank you enough for helping make our day amazing!

Love,
Christina & Joey
