I know how to Blame it on the Boogie better than the Jackson 5, point my disco finger higher than John Travolta and Time Warp better than Bill & Ted. I am the party. I am a BAR MITZVAH DJ.
I've always been an employee of the companies i work for so i never have to worry. There have been cases where a client wasn't happy with the dance party and put up a fight with my bosses. Because the event scene is tight knit, bad reviews travel quickly; i know they have discounted clients before, but the at the end of the day...sometimes you can't do much with a stiff crowd that just doesn't want to dance

Yes. It’s kinda dated and doesn’t reflect the amount of money thrown into events these days, but it certainly reminds me of some of my earlier gigs. I kinda wish I had footage of myself from way back when.
Share Answer: 
Yep. But also I’ve had the good fortune to work with a very reputable company for the past 10 years. A client is happy to hire the company and then when provided with me as an option, having heard of me, choose me to host their event happily.
Share Answer: 
Yes. And its a deal closer. "Oh yes, our bar mitzvah DJ is a "nice Jewish boy"" And then they try to set me up with their friends Jewish daughter.

The IT Guy
What's the the stupidest IT question you've every gotten?
Yah, kids get really bitchy. The sad thing is they don't know any better so it’s hard to hold it against or judge them. I’ve seen plenty of bar/bat mitzvah kids cry at their own party. Its usually because they’re not part of the cool crew and see the "cool kids" snickering at them/not participating or conversely, they are part of the cool crew and something mortifying happens that compromises their credibility and they get incredibly self conscious.
Share Answer: 
Stop the party, and tell every kid that whoever can bring me back an adult twice their age I will give them a prize. The bribe generally works and when they bring back an older woman quickly follow up with "heyyyy, no cheating, there's no way she’s twice your age". The kid gets their prize, the woman LOVES it and I hit them hard with one of 9 Black Eyed Peas tracks that are consistent winners on the dance floor.

No tables. It’s all Mac's and mixers. There are virtual turntables that allow you to pass an MP3 onto specialized records that you can fully scratch with, as if you were actually playing the record. It’s pretty cool, and certainly brought a bit of legitimacy back to the DJ’ing industry.
