DJ Dr. Nate

My band Maureen & the Mercury 5 (opener for Dick Dale and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy as well as Big Sandy and Deke Dickerson) had a 7 year residency at Downtown Disney and Nate was our Soundman and DJ for five of those years! He picked amazing music, even helped me put set lists together to encourage dancing because he is also an expert dancer! We would always have a moment to show off for our audience of 500 each of the four sets we played and I even would invite him onstage to sing sometimes. DJ Dr Nate is an encyclopedia of music from the 1920's to the 1970's, and was able to compliment our Rockabilly Jump Swing music with the perfect sounds from the 50's and 60's. His equipment is top of the line and he is a pleasure to work with. So much so, that from 2013 to 2024, I asked him to work every gig our band played. DJ Dr. Nate is and will always be my first choice DJ! He makes weddings and parties and music festivals fun!

DJ Dr. Nate is amazing! I’ve seen him perform at events around Southern California and he always has the crowd on their feet. He has an extremely deep understanding of so many eras of music- rock and roll, swing, disco, 80s, 90s, and modern. I’ve seen him take a crowd from completely sleepy and sitting down to up on their feet and dancing literally for hours! If you want that vintage feel for your themed event or just a really good modern DJ, he’s a perfect fit.

I'm a very, very avid dancer here in Los Angeles and have been involved in numerous dance scenes since the late 1990s. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting DJ Dr. Nate back around 2015, and trust me when I say he *is* the top of the top! I've seen him make the evening happen countless times as he spins everything from 1950s Doo Wop to Gatsby-era jazz to Hip Hop, Latin, Rockabilly, Swing, Surf, Disco, and everything in between. Nobody, and I mean nobody, nails it as accurately- or as fun! -as this guy. We've bonded over countless hours of music discussion; sometimes I would run over to him, mid-song and mid-dance, to ask what amazing version of a favorite classic he just pulled up. And I'm not the only one here- he would hold court at various nightclubs and private parties around town and all of the party goers knew it would be an amazing time if DJ Dr. Nate was spinning. And if they didn't know him before the event, they certainly did after! Add to all this he's amazingly friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, AND he's a snappy vintage dresser to boot, and I don't really know how you can go any better than this guy. For your private event you honestly can't miss him. He IS the party maker, he gets everyone on the floor, he reads the room perfectly, and he brings an encyclopedic knowledge of all eras of vintage music to your party. Go for it!
