My 30th birthday bash couldn’t have been better. Had a virtual DJ mix and hits after hits and exactly the vibes to keep everyone dancing! Couldn’t have asked for more!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to post a review. It was virtual and vibing!

DJ G (George) took the art of being a DJ to another level. Top shelf. Why? Before my event he reached out and carefully helped me select music best suited for my audience. He was spot on. Music played perfectly matched the mood of party goers. Some guests even called afterwards asking for his number. DJ G is the real deal. Polite, courteous and professional. As I take writing reviews seriously, I'd unequivocally recommend DJ G for any event.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Thank you Fred. It was my first time DJ'ing an Oktoberfest Party. You had a great turnout of amazing people, just like yourself. I do love a good challenge to get people on the dance floor and I don't stop until I succeed. I look forward to next year's event! Ein prosit... ein prosit...

DJ G was amazing for my 30th birthday. He was super involved before the festivities and came prepared with a great playlist. He had great energy and was accommodating in making my day feel special. Thank you for everything DJ G!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Hey Melissa, thank you for the great review. It was my pleasure to DJ your birthday party with such a fun, energetic crowd on the dance floor. It was a very cool venue too.
-- dj G. 24/7
What can I not say!!! DjG was / is outstanding in and at every pace of the evening party… every one liked and loved all the songs played, genres such as: rancheras, 80s, 90s, salsa, merengue, reggeaton, hip/hop, cumbias… to add a guest said he was in awe that he played a song by “Los Lobos”, and not one of the top songs, but one of his personal favorites…. and i quote “… where is he from? how did he know that?… dj G is good & a keep…”
Dj G has a plethora of knowledge of music, adds or blends in the songs meticulously well, that you just continue to move or dance, and danced wherever they were standing. He was prompt, professional, communicated prior to event, and above all just rocked the whole time!!!
Every one left happy, and asked, “where did you find him?” …. Well, I am keeping the secret and not mentioning to anyone 😉
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
"La Pistola y El Corazón" by Los Lobos... best song they have (in my opinion)... and I know all the words. Don't know if you caught me singing along to it. I'm always up for a good, musical challenge and I'm glad to have met and exceeded your expectations. I look forward to your next event.

We hired DjG fora pride party that we held at our bar in San Pedro. He arrived an hour early on his own time to ensure that his equipment was set up and ready to go on time for the start of our event. He did an excellent job of reading the room and providing music for all tastes. He was very polite and accomodating to our guests and their individual requests. As a result everyone had a really great time. He is now the one and only DJ for our pub. I highly recommend him.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Thank you so much Sue! Those kind words mean so much coming from someone as special as you and your husband. I had a great time DJ’ing your Pride Party that featured a live mermaid!
-- dj G. 24/7
I recommended dj G. to a friend of mine for her son's graduation party. They wanted an interesting blend of party hits and traditional Cuban music for the family. dj G. was able to deliver on both.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Hi Dinora! Thank you for the lead and the review. I look forward to future collaborations with you.
-- dj G. 24/7
We hired dj G. for my daughter's 15th birthday party. It was a small group of close family & friends. The adults wanted salsa & reggaeton and the kids wanted 80's rock. He managed to play a balanced set of music which kept everyone happy and dancing. Thank you for helping us make our daughter's birthday even more special.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
I really enjoyed that house party and the challenge of getting everyone 15 to 65 to get up and dance a little. I'm glad everyone had a good time.
-- dj G. 24/7
I had a party to celebrate my birthday and wedding anniversary at Tropico de Nopal in Filipinotown new DTLA (great venue, btw). I'm Dominican, from Miami, which means we had to DANCE and djG came through big time!!!
I had over 60 guests in attendance and I can honestly say that at one point or another that night, everyone got up to dance to reggaeton, cumbia, salsa, merengue, disco, freestyle, 80's, 90's, & other dance hits. He made the party flow and we thank him for it!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Claudia, your words are music to my ears. I had a lot of fun DJ'ing that night. What a great crowd. Thank you for letting me be part of it. And may our paths cross again in the near future... party on!
-- dj G. 24/7
I hired dj G. to mix one night at my bar in Miami while he was in town and he did not disappoint. I wanted a night full of 80's music, in particular Freestyle. It was so good hear that music again. The patrons at the bar loved it too. Let me know anytime you're in town again so you can mix here again.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Hey Eddie. It means a lot to get a good review from one of the oldest dive bars in Miami. I go to Miami a few times a year. I'll definitely take you up on that offer.
-- dj G. 24/7
I've known dj G. for years and always enjoy his music. I wanted to have a pool party with my friends in Puerto Rico and really wanted him to provide the background music. He setup a virtual party on the internet and played lots of great salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and cumbia. The only problem was that it was a pool party and we kept jumping out of the pool to dance!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Hi Raquel. Thank you for taking the time to do the review. When is the next virtual pool party? I'm ready!
-- dj G. 24/7
I told dj G. that I wanted to have a birthday brunch party for my 45th birthday, but I had too many friends and family members that couldn't make it because of panndemic travel restrictions or being in other parts of the U.S. He suggested we do a virtual mix stream on Mixcloud. I was doubtful at first, but it worked out better than I expected. He played some of my favorite dance hits from the 70's/80's/90's ranging from Pop, Disco, Funk, Rock, and Hip-Hop too. I had the livestream video playing on my big screen TV for those that were present in my apartment and the audio blasting over a portable, bluetooth speaker. Those that were not present were sent a link for the livestream where they were able to see him perform. There was also a group chat on the stream page where we all exchanged messages and shared the experience. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to the modern party method. I was able to share this experience with a lot of my friends and family that could not be physically present.
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
You're very welcome Zulay. I'm glad we were able to bring everyone together for your virtual brunch event. I remember how lively everyone was in the chat.
-- dj G. 24/7
dj G. played a great disco dance mix for my sister's 60th birthday. It was via an internet livestream video due to the pandemic. Everyone had a great time dancing and hustling to songs from our youth!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Thanks Diana. I always enjoy playing for a crowd that knows what to do when they hear "do the hustle!" even if it was over the internet. I look forward to being able to DJ any future, virtual parties since we are on opposite coasts.
-- dj G. 24/7
DJ G is an awesome DJ that knows how to get the party started! He played 80’s boogie and funk tunes at my bday event, at a local bar! The bar patrons & I enjoyed his great music selections and had us groovin’ on the dancefloor all night! Highly recommend DJ G and already booked him for another event!
Response from DJ G. 24/7:
Thanks Reggie. I had a blast with the boogie/funk vibes which usually get everyone shakin' a tail feather. I look forward to future events & collaborations with you.

dj G. has been listening to music his entire life. His mother would play lots of 70's disco music on the radio. His uncle introduced him to rock & soul songs of the 50's, 60's, 70's, & 80's through his extensive collection of LP records and 45's. His grandparents instilled a love of Latin music. As a teenager, he enjoyed going to dance parties. In college, he thrived on the club vibe. Later, as a professional adult, he enjoyed live bands and DJ's playing at local bars for happy hours.
He was always invited to friends' parties to bring some of his dance records to play for everyone. Over time, that transitioned to CD's and playlists. At some point, he became a group fitness instructor and taught himself how to mix music (using CD's) in order to have the best aerobic mix for his class. These mixes brought large, successful turnouts to his group fitness classes.
This long journey eventually lead him to officially start DJ'ing on the side (circa 2019) as he moved away from his beloved South Florida roots and over to the Los Angeles metropolitan area, where he now calls home.
