When was the last time you went out to that new trendy night club where the DJ
steps up into the booth and makes everyone rush the dancefloor? And how often do
you find a DJ that keeps a constant vibe of energy throughout the night with a
delivery of mixes that seduces the crowd and keep the dancefloor packed all night…
Every night?
