Happy Hour @ Serena RTP

DJ Rang — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:57:32 +0000

This post goes out to working professionals in the RTP area! A few months ago, I started DJing at a Sicilian gastropub on Miami Blvd. In a nutshell, it’s great food, great drinks, and great music. I play a mix of downtempo lounge and chill house music to set the mood. Come check it out every Thursday from 5:30-7:30pm!

Kelly & Joe – 10/8/11 – Durham NC Wedding DJ & MC

DJ Rang — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:40:39 +0000

Joe and Kelly got married at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, NC. The gardens are perfect for outdoor weddings, especially when the weather is nice! Their reception was on site as well, in the Doris Duke Center. Catering Works did a great job with both food AND decor – both the inside and tented outside area looked very elegant. I had a really good time DJing for this reception – everyone was so energetic, diverse, and open to different kinds of music. I played 70s, 80s, top 40, old school hip hop, even some rock!

Tara & Matt – 9/24/11 (Who says Indian Wedding DJs have to be Indian?)

DJ Rang — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:08:09 +0000

Every once in a while I’ll get a request for an Indian event that I’m unable to do because of scheduling conflicts. Fear not though, I still have you covered! Since I started DJing full time, it has been my belief that any good DJ (given ample music & direction) can play any style of music for any kind of crowd.

This was definitely the case for Tara & Matt’s wedding. They got married on September 24th, and had their reception at the Nasher Art Museum in Durham. The Nasher is a SUPER cool venue located very close to Duke campus. It has a beautiful modern feel to it, accented by all kinds of neat art pieces. Since I was unavailable, I enlisted the help of my close friend and colleague DJ Paradime. Tara and Matt wanted someone high energy and versatile to play a mix of Bollywood, Bhangra, 80s, 90s, and current Top40 tunes. Paradime was the perfect fit in my mind. We sat together and did a crash course on Indian music – needless to say he passed with flying colors. Bollywood nuts out there: you’ll be pleased to know that Paradime has taken an intense liking to the track “Chaiyya Chaiyya“!

Don’t take my word for it though, see what the bride and groom had to say

Kripa & Vishal – (DJ & Lighting – Indian Wedding – 9/4/11)

DJ Rang — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:17:36 +0000

Part 2 of the mega-weekend! This time we took a drive out to Fayetteville to the newly renovated Cape Fear Botanical Gardens. All I can say is WOW! They have done an AWESOME job with the facilities – gorgeous venue, both inside and out . This time we provided the whole nine yards – sound for the ceremony & sound/lighting for the reception which I also DJed and MCed. We also got to work with Dholis G2 and Anooj for the Baraat Procession in the morning!

The reception looked phenomenal! Our uplighting (30 fixtures), 6 moving heads, and custom monogrammed gobo paired with the talent of decorators from Suhaag Garden was truly a sight to see. We were also able to ROCK the dance floor with our largest sound package (JBL SRX Rig) courtesy of Kevin from NRP. This crowd came ready to party – I played a mix of Bollywood, House, Top40, and Old school hip hop. The team and I had a blast at this event! Kripa & Vishal were very easy to work with, the food was great, and we met some great new vendors in the process.
