Visual Appeal
Your guests will find the live DJ spinning, scratching and beat-matching actual vinyl records intriguing and fun to watch. Digitally manipulated MP3s are also utilized with the popular club DJ program Serato Scratch. The live musicians performing with the DJ will also bring a sophistication to your event that cannot be understated.
Configurations
The group is available in several configurations including turntable/laptop DJ with solo trumpet, atmospheric guitarist, saxophonist or percussionist, or any combination thereof. The live musicians can be utilized for the entire event, or during earlier portions of the event (background ambiance for cocktails and/or dinner) and then transition to the DJ taking over to facilitate any dancing later on, should your guests want to take things in that direction.
