Business owners, partners, spouses, and friends who already enjoy electronic dance music.
Building a business. Sharing the music.
Business during the week. Beats on the weekend.
I'm Denis. I'm building an AI consulting business, and music is how I unwind. This is my way of meeting other business owners who enjoy good conversations, electronic music, and letting loose after work.
Good conversation, electronic music, and room to listen or join in at your own pace.
Informal owner gatherings, partner evenings, and small business milestones worth sharing.
Short intro
Good to meet you.
Here's a quick hello from me. I enjoy meeting people beyond the working week, with a conversation first and some good music when the time feels right.

Why I am doing this
Why I share the music
Music is still personal.
I spent more than ten years professionally DJing and hosting parties. Now I mix as a hobby because I like the energy, the focus, and the way the right music changes a room.
Meet through music
My background is in software architecture and engineering. I'm building an AI consulting business in the US, and I'd like to meet fellow owners in a natural way before any business conversation gets serious. You're welcome to connect from farther afield too; an in-person evening depends on practical travel arrangements.
A possible evening
How the evening flows
- 01
Talk, eat, hang out.
People arrive, settle in, and have the conversations they came for. Music stays supportive, not intrusive.
- 02
Live mix for 60 to 90 minutes.
When the timing feels right, I share a focused electronic set: Afro house, house, DnB, techno, or progressive trance.
- 03
Stay in the atmosphere.
Recorded music can continue afterward while everyone keeps talking, relaxing, and enjoying the rest of the night.
Practical details
Before we meet
Is this a DJ booking service?
No. I'm sharing music as part of business networking, not offering general DJ hire or employee-only corporate entertainment. The fit starts with a short conversation, not a quote request.
What kinds of gatherings make sense?
Small owner gatherings, partner evenings, informal founder meetups, and milestone celebrations where several business owners or partners are present.
How long is the live mixing?
Usually 60 to 90 minutes, with a two-hour maximum by agreement. Recorded music can continue afterward while everyone hangs out.
Is there a performance fee?
There is no performance fee. Necessary travel, accommodation, or equipment expenses are discussed and agreed in advance.
Where is this available?
I'm based in NYC, with nearby gatherings as the starting point. Farther travel is discussed individually when the gathering is a strong fit.
When could we get together?
Weekends and holidays only. We agree on timing and any travel arrangements before making plans.
What equipment is required?
Existing home or venue speakers may be enough. The actual setup is checked later in conversation, before anything is confirmed.

Let's start with a short conversation about the people, the music, and whether an evening together makes sense. No booking is confirmed from this page alone.
