bio
Hi, I’m Henry.
If you're from the North Fork of Long Island or spend at least part of your time in its general vicinity, we may have crossed paths already - at a bar, a restaurant, a backyard party, or a special event.
If we haven't yet, nice to meet you. I have been DJing all of the above and more around the area consistently since 2016 in numerous venues and special events in the area.
I began my journey into DJing many years before this current journey, when I spent hours a day learning the art of hip hop scratch DJing and turntablist skills.
Music keeps me going and both up at night and also moving throughout the day! Drop me a message or a line if you'd like to set something up for a venue, a party, event, or anything else!
“IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE, PLAY ON”
-William Shakespeare
While musical aesthetics have certainly changed over the 400+ years since those words were written, the proposition surely has not.
Play on, indeed. From Jazz, Funk, and Soul to Hip Hop and R&B, Disco to the newest Dance Pop, those rare remixes to niche Indie Dance tracks, I take great care and pride in preparing and organizing my library for a continuous mix that can end up in any direction.
DJing, at its core, is a combination of good preparation and timely execution. You’ll always find me actively mixing - constantly evaluating the best possible choice for the room at any given moment.
I also take great pride in having honed my turntablist and scratching skills over the years.
Whether you see me at an event setting the mood for the dance floor or on Instagram showcasing scratch techniques, I always try to bring a complete package to the table.
The opportunity to DJ professionally is both an honor and a privilege and one I am thankful for every day.
Music inspires, calms, energizes, induces flow states, and creates movement.
It’s my raison d’être.
It’s the passion project.

The backbone of my DJ work

WEDDING/WEDDING AFTER PARTY
The pinnacle of special events - weddings require the utmost care, planning, and attention to detail. They also require a stylistic vision that the DJ must be able to curate and execute confidently. I work closely and directly with my clients to make sure your special day turns out just the way you envision it.
Don’t want the party to stop on your big day? Looking up to really let loose after the big event? I’m always at the ready to DJ a wedding after party to keep the fun going into the night
SPECIAL EVENTS
Whether your special event is an elaborate backyard party, a fundraiser, birthday, a street fair, or a one-off holiday/seasonal party. I am ready to fill the airwaves with the right music and a sound system that's both loud, clear, and reliable enough to meet your needs
KARAOKE - TWO TURNTABLES/TWO MICROPHONES
A play off the iconic hip-hop reference, "two turntables and a microphone"- the originators of hip hop culture used the phrase - naming the only tools needed to rock a party all night
Two Turntables, Two Microphones is a brainchild of my love for DJing and meeting the demand for Karaoke nights.
The turntables lay down the intro for the night, allow me to mix in and out of spaces in the karaoke queue, and lets guests wrap up their night in their dancing shoes post sing session. The two microphones exists, of course, for the proper duet or simple moral support from your friends also singing along.
I bring out all the stops - I connect my DJ equipment, two professional Shure mics, and an always up to date Karaoke application on a 2nd computer to another audio mixer, as well as an HDMI signal splitter so that both the singer can see the lyrics on their personal screen, while the audience can sing along with the larger house TV setup behind the performer.
DJ sets before, between, and after singing keeps the party going like no other Karaoke night.
