We had a great time and highly recommend Dylan!

Dylan did everything we asked of him, was a good communicator, professional, and we had a great party! It was a party for my 5 year old- Dylan was able to keep it fun for the kiddos while also providing some good tunes for the adults. Everyone had nothing but positive things to say about Dylan. He even accommodated our earlier in the day party, which was huge. Most importantly, he made it a goal to take the stress out of the party planning situation by taking care of the music and running the show.

Hire Inergy Records Event Promotions for your next event

Dillon from Inergy Records Event Promotions was great to work with. I knew I wanted to book with Dillon when he sent me a heart warming message about being honored to DJ our special day. Dillon was very responsive and have a variety of music to meet your needs. He made our very emotional day very upbeat and happy. Everyone from a variety of ages were pleased with the selection of music. It was very easy to work with Dillon. Hire Dillon, you won't regret it.

What to expect

I can play a wide range of music that will cater to whatever crowd you have attending your events. My background is in underground club music but I am an avid follower of musical trends and for those who want to hear their favorite top 40 tune I will make sure that happens! If the crowd is older, I can play more classic rock and oldies. If the crowd is younger, watch out limbo stick! I'll even thrown on some calypso and limbo music for the youngsters!

For weddings and other formal engagements, I have a 300 ft range wireless mic that allows the freedom for invitees and guests to make speeches and gives the freedom of being interactive in the crowd during a ceremony or reception. If an officiant needs a wireless mic I can accommodate.

I enjoy making announcements and keeping the crowd interested in each aspect of the event they are attending.

About

I have been involved in music my whole life. I am well versed at playing piano/keyboards and singing. Got into DJing live events about 15 years ago. I've played festivals, night clubs, venues, bars, clubs, etc. I began DJing in 1997. I started my own record label in 2013, Inergy Records, and have branched off in event promotions for myself as DJ/live performer. During the COVID pandemic in 2020 my business was relegated to live streaming events from the comfort of my own home. Unfortunately, weddings and social events were put on hold. Once the world emerged from the strong hold of the Coronavirus we were ready to put our name out once again. As of 2023 we are going strong and are happy to provide top quality service to our clients.

Additional booking notes

My collection of music contains over 10,000 songs ranging from swing, big band, oldies, classic rock, jazz, top 40, pop, dance, house, ballads, country, calypso, hip hop, 80s anthems, 90s tunes, and much much more.
