The Remixologists

We hired DJ Ben and I simply couldn’t be happier with him. Leading up to the wedding, Ben did a great job of feeling us out in terms of what songs we wanted to hear the most. We gave Ben an entire playlist and he played every song that we wanted to hear. Ben is not the type of DJ who is always on the mic talking, he lets everyone enjoy the music more then anything. Everyone at the wedding also told us that the father/​daughter dance was the best they’ve ever seen, and I like to thank Ben for that. He was extremely easy to communicate with and knew exactly what we were looking for. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows what he’s doing, listens and is overall the man, look no further… DJ BEN IS YOUR MAN!!!

Do youself a favor… book Simon ASAP. It does not get better than this! Simon is not only a DJ… he is basically your Reception/​Party consultant. He is the best! He is extremely helpful and organized… and works with you every step of the way to make sure you have the perfect party going. He can play anything and really gets the crowd going… but really the best part was being able to consult him on the very minute details. Completely professional. One conversation with him and he will already pick up your vibe and tailor the wedding to you. His song recommendations and flow of how things should go on your biggest night is spot on. I would HIGHLLYYYYY RECOMMEND SIMON! Whenever we have a party to throw, he will be our DJ/​Party Consultant. Thanks Simon!!!

Working with The Remixologists for our wedding was a fantastic experience! Our DJ was one of the highest priorities when looking for vendors and when we found The Remixologists, we knew we were set. DJ Taiga (Simon) was incredibly helpful and informative right from the start of our conversations, walking through the details of The Remixologists’ services and answering our questions over the course of several phone calls. Once we had decided on them, DJ Ben reached out to us almost immediately with a great template that made sure all our bases were covered in terms of everything from ceremony music to cocktail hour to the first dance to the «must play» and «do not play» lists.
In terms of the wedding itself, everything was executed flawlessly. Ben was able to accommodate our set-​up for both the ceremony and cocktail hour and then quickly move into our tent for the reception with almost no downtime in music. The music selection during the reception was exactly how we discussed in terms of the mix of genres and the specific songs we asked to have played and it made for an incredible night on the dance floor!
We highly recommend The Remixologists and would not have done anything differently if we were to do it again!

The Remixologists are amazing! I booked them for my wedding at the W Loft in Brooklyn and it was a huge success. We planned our wedding from abroad, but thanks to DJ Taiga and DJ Ben everything ran smoothly. The entire process from the beginning till the end was exceptionally pleasant. DJ Ben is very flexible, understanding and friendly and I would recommend their services to anyone!

DJ 9-​Volt (Tristan) DJed our wedding in Hawaii and the whole experience was top-​notch from A to Z. I’ve always viewed a wedding as a massive food and dance party so having the right music vibe was important to us. As a disclaimer, I’ve known DJ 9-​Volt for many years as a personal friend, but having been to many events that he’s DJed, knowing his charismatic personality, I knew he would be a perfect fit for our wedding.
Tristan got a list of songs from us and immediately knew what kind of feel we were going for. He worked seamlessly with our officiant to perfect the ceremony music, even adding in sound effects for our geeky ceremony. His fun but firm personality was a bonus in corralling guests for photos, for introductions, announcements, and moving the day along.
The music itself at the reception was a perfect mix to get my older family members moving, our friends hyped, and everyone dancing all night. As they say, «For a good time, call DJ 9-​Volt.»

DJ Colin from The Remixologists is amazing! We chose the Remixologists based on their outstanding reviews and especially loved DJ Colin’s mixing samples. Leading up to the wedding, he was really easy to work with, responsive and organized. We provided input on songs for the ceremony, first dance, etc and music genres we liked and didn’t like for dancing. DJ Colin took it from there, putting together music that we and our guests loved and kept the dance floor rocking! He was also a fantastic MC, working with our venue coordinator to understand the exact flow of the evening. To this day, our friends and family still rave about the music at our wedding and we are so grateful that we worked with DJ Colin!

We chose to book The Remixologists after doing extensive research on Philly area wedding DJs and were not disappointed! Music was really important to us, and we really wanted to throw a great party for our guests. We had been to some otherwise nice weddings where no one really danced and wanted to avoid that!
The second we met with DJ Ben we knew we were in good hands. He understood exactly what we were going for, and with his extensive experience I knew he would be perfect. I loved that he took the time to consider all of our requests, and both Ben and Simon (DJ Taiga) responded to all of my (many) emails really quickly. Ben was our DJ from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception and did a seamless job for each part of the day. We even had a traditional Korean ceremony during cocktail hour that required specific music, and he worked with our vendor to make sure it was played at the appropriate time.
Ben read the mood of the crowd perfectly, starting out with some feel good motown and then transitioning to more hip hop and top 40 towards the end of the night (exactly what we wanted). All of our guests can not stop raving about what a great time they had at our wedding. Even my mom, who is super picky, went up to him personally to thank him.
My only regret is that with all the running around I had to do, I didn’t get to hit the dance floor as much as I wanted to. Thank goodness my best friend also hired DJ Ben for her wedding in January. I can already tell you I will not be stepping off of that dance floor. See you in January Ben!

We booked the remixologist for our September wedding at an outdoor wedding in NYC and I would have to say we did not get a very good experience with them. My fiancé insisted that we go with a higher price DJ saying that we we get a more immersive experience with them. Considering they got great reviews on Unilocal we decided to go with them…
First of all let me all tell you and MC/​DJ is a very important part of the wedding. If you have a DJ with little or no experience or have not so good people skills then you are going to be having a more stressful day/​evening.
On the big day our DJ seemed like he knew what he was doing. He immediately introduced himself to us and seem very assertive and attentive… We had a lot of technical issues that the DJ blamed a cellular company for the interference. It was super annoying. Let me just say that our wedding was outdoors… The main issue was that our microphone kept going on and off with static in-​between when our priest spoke and while we were saying our vows. No excuses its the DJ’s job to make sure things like this does not happen. They should have tested to make sure things like this does not occur? Besides aren’t they suppose to check their equipment to make sure that things like this is not suppose to occur? I could not believe I was paying a premium fee for the Remixologist services. This is somthing you would expect for a 400 dollar DJ… Arghs! and we could barely hear the harpest wouldn’t it be prudent to put a microphone on the harpest especially if the venue is outdoors. Double arghs!
If you are a business on the upper end of fees rendered then you should deliver. Premium price should equal premium service.
I would have given them one star but the ladder part of the wedding was good enough to up their rating.
The Remixologist = premium price = amateurish/​below standard service.

DJ Colin and The Remixologists was one of the smartest hires we made for our June 2015 wedding at the Basilica Hudson in Hudson, NY.
DJ Colin is super calm, smart, and talented. We had some really great prep calls with him to make sure we could tell him what we were looking for, our flow for the day, etc. He was great to work with and is an accomplished DJ. He was able to translate all of this to create an amazing party for us! It is clear that he is super detail-​orientated and really knows how to focus on the music with perfect transitioning. He can also read the room and change things up quickly without (seemingly) breaking a sweat.
We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding or in general! If you can book him, don’t wait!

I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for my wedding! There were two things that were very important to me and they were photography and music! And Simon nailed it with the music! He really made my wedding reception just perfect. Everybody was out on the dance floor having so much fun, which made me very happy. Simon also gave a lot of really great advice (music and general wedding stuff) and he delivered on all our «must haves». You will not regret choosing The Remixologists for your event.

DJ Ben from The Remixologists provided the music for my wedding. It was a simple and painless process and I must thank Simon and Ben for that. All it took were a few emails and it was all set. Ben was extremely friendly and professional when I met him that day. When he got there we realized that I booked him until 10 when the ceremony went until 11:00, but he was flexible enough to stay, which was awesome. Besides a few specific songs for the ceremony I just gave some general guidelines for the music, as I like to leave things to the professionals. Ben did an excellent job and even when my wife asked him to switch it up later in the evening he knocked it out of the park as well. In all likelihood this will be the only time I get married but if I had to do it all over I’d go with DJ Ben and The Remixologists without a second thought.

My honest review:
When my wife and I were looking for DJ’s, we wanted one that we have either experienced or heard was good. We tracked down a few DJs we’ve experienced at our friends weddings but they were already booked for our date. We then looked at some DJ services around philly and came across very cheap and reasonable prices around 600– 900 dollars. They looked fine but we also have been to some weddings where the DJ completely ruined the wedding because they were awkward or were just really bad with the music selection/​transition/​gauging the guests vibe. So we ended up holding off on booking a DJ.
Time went by and we were cutting it close. We heard of Simon through some friends who told us he was good. We looked at his price quote and it was pretty outside our budget. But time was short and we were «stuck» with Simon but took our friends advice and word he was good.
Time up to the wedding he had e-​mailed everything he needed to get the wedding running properly. He sent a good amount a reminders (since I was not good at responding right away) to make sure everything was set. He was very professional and easy to work with.
The wedding day came and no issues were brought up. Simon was better than what we couldve imagined. Even though we were too busy taking pictures and doing the annoying stuff you had to do at weddings, I remember pausing with my wife and talking about the great music that was playing.
Everyone immediately jumped to the dance floor and didn’t leave until Simon stopped.
Anyone can play music, but I knew Simon was awesome because during the night, he played a song which didn’t jive well with the crowd at start and he specifically said «hang with me guys.»
Not only was Simon able to play the best playlist off of the songs we sent him (like a human pandora station), he was able to gauge the crowd so well that no one left the dance floor.
It has been about 2 months since our wedding and my friends have still talked about how great our DJ was. I believe one of my friends even asked for his card while he was playing music.
If you want a cheap wedding you can get your $ 500‑1500 DJ or you can even get your friend to download a free DJ app and play your music for free. If you want a wedding that your friends will remember and keep talking about for months, you need to get Simon. He was above our budget but we would’ve payed double from the experience we received.

This was seriously the best money we spent for our wedding.
DJ Taiga (Simon) was our DJ for our backyard wedding this past May and he was amazing. He took all of our requests into consideration and pretty much just kept the party going the whole night. He played an awesome mix of current songs as well as those really really awesome old school songs that were all super danceable. Since the wedding, countless people have asked us who our DJ was and we are more than happy to recommend DJ Taiga.
On top of just creating the best party atmosphere, Simon was also super professional, helpful and courteous. We were scrambling to get things done and sent him our requests last minute as well as details about our ceremony set up, but he was so kind and willing to help out.
We could not recommend them enough!!!

We got married last month and Simon aka DJ Taiga was our DJ from start to finish! Pre-​ceremony, ceremony, cocktail, reception all provided by him.
I knew our venue was not big enough for a band so from the get go we had to get a DJ. Now the search sucked, we asked our venue for recommendations, weddingwire, and finally Unilocal and Remixologist popped up. By far the easiest experience in terms of communication and setting things up.
So like any other search, I read the reviews, combed through their website, listened to a few tracks, and watched a few videos. Ok, liked what we saw and heard and click sent an email to inquire. Now, here is what set Simon apart from the others right away. I GET A RESPONSE FROM SIMON HIMSELF. Not an admin asking me more questions, not a rep interviewing me to match me to a DJ, but Simon, the person I already did research on and wanted to know his availability and set up a call to talk things through and see if we matched.
Once we booked, we get follow up emails to help us along the way. We probably exchanged a handful of emails and always a prompt response. A few weeks before the big day, we sent Simon some songs we wanted to be played and some we absolutely did not want to hear. His attention to detail really made the day go so smoothly. Looking back we are so thankful that Simon helped us make sure we laid out the evening because once he knew what we wanted, we did not see him the rest of the night.
From the moment we arrived at the venue, he greeted us and I forgot I had a DJ. He never had to follow up with me or the hubs because he knew what he needed to do already. He started making announcements when needed and I remember thinking I had forgotten the timeline because it was just running so smoothly. And yes even the 93 year old grandpa was poppin and lockin on the dance floor!
One other thing I cannot stress more on was Simon’s professionalism. It was our wedding day and not once did he try to advertise or was there any gaudy signs promoting the company. No shout outs and he used music to get everyone on the dance floor not shouting into a mic. YES WE HAVE ALL BEEN TO A WEDDING LIKE THAT BEFORE!
PS. The hubs’ good friend also a guest at the wedding is a sound guy that provides to major concerts, etc. He said he was amazed by the quality of our photographer and DJ. Yes that compliment made me smile.

Mike was so awesome during our wedding planning. I think our ‘no list’ was a mile long, but Mike always had a smile on his face and worked with us really well. The Remixologists were super organized and got back to us really fast. We looked forward to our meetings with Mike because he was always so joyful! He even ended up bringing a partner from The Remixologist crew last minute — the specialist in 90s hip-​hop — for a specific set during our wedding. People still talk about it. Everyone gave us so many compliments!

Epic party — thank you so much Simon (DJ Taiga)!
To start with, I had no recommendations for a wedding DJ (we knew we didn’t want a live band) from friends or family. I spoke to another DJ but didn’t get a great vibe so I turned to Unilocal and found Simon’s company, The Remixologists. After listening to awesome mixes on their site, I reached out and was impressed with Simon’s quick reply.
We scheduled a call and spoke briefly over the phone, we told him what kind of music we like, what kind of party we were looking to have, and he totally met all our expectations and exceeded them. We actually had to pay our venue to extend our wedding for an extra hour because people wouldn’t stop dancing. This was also on a Sunday night from 12a-​1a, so you could imagine how good it was if people were staying out late on a Sunday night.
We discussed songs that would be played and wouldn’t play, at first I wanted to compile a huge spreadsheet with my favorite songs, but it felt too controlled, and I really wanted the DJ to do his thing and go with the energy of the party. I feel like Simon took the energy of party to another level. Thank you!
He was always on time with calls and meetings, a very reliable person, and I am really impressed with how everything worked out just by reaching out to him over the internet.
If you’re looking to have a great wedding with a class act DJ, I would highly recommend booking DJ Taiga!

AMAZING!
Simon and The Remixologists are great.
We got married in August 2013 and hired Simon as our DJ. Simon is such a nice, caring guy. He really does care about every little detail. After one meeting he put a mix together that was absolutely awesome. He’s not your typical cheesy wedding DJ. He really focuses on the music. Such an awesome blend with seamless transitions. Everyone at our wedding danced the whole night.
If you need a DJ, use Simon and The Remixologists. You will not be disappointed.

My husband had one task for the wedding– to find the DJ. He did his research and came across DJ Taiga (Simon), who was NOT on any of our venue-​recommended lists. And thank goodness, since he was so great! We were «generally specific» with our playlist, meaning we had several ‘play this song’ and ‘DON’T play this song’ along with ‘play current top hits’ instructions. I was nervous because I have been to clubs where they play the current jams, but the DJ’s are terrible! There can be messed up transitions, or weird song selections, which absolutely ruins the party. Luckily. Simon was amazing! He turned our song suggestions into a seamless party session. Everybody was on the floor dancing all night! I’ve never seen anything like it :)
He was very helpful with narrowing down song selections that I chose for the ceremony, as well as suggesting song edits for my walk down the aisle (which was dramatic and amazing) and editing the mother-​son dance for my husband (who originally suggested a 4-​minute song lol).
He was very accommodating in that I wanted a specific version of «a thousand years» to walk down the aisle to. He found it and cut it and it was absolutely amazing.
I keep saying ‘amazing’ because it’s true!
Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly communicative and took the time to coordinate with the wedding venue for both the ceremony and the party events. He even scheduled a phone call a few days before the event just to iron out details– which I greatly appreciated. People have REPEATEDLY told us that ours was the «best wedding ever» which, I think, had a lot to do with the DJ :)
Just hire him. This will be one less thing to worry about. They will do a GREAT job.

Excellent excellent excellent.
If you do not want to read on, just hire him (them). And this is coming from a person that never writes reviews.
Simon (DJ Taiga) was wonderful and extremely helpful with creating the perfect/​unique playlist and setting the exact ambiance we were looking for in our fairy tale barn wedding. He also kind enough to mix in an ethnic blend of music for my half of the family; no one else could’ve done a better job.
Simon is an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, attentive, accomodating, creative & great attitude. Long story short: there wasn’t one person in the barn that wasn’t up on the barn floor dancing. A night that I will never forget.
I highly highly suggest Simon and the rest of the Remixologists.

Do not get a DJ with no demos online! We went with The Remixologists for our wedding in Brooklyn because we really liked the style of the mixes on their website. They hooked us up with DJ Colin, who I think was relatively new to the Remixologists at the time. He also had several fantastic mixes we could listen to, and a quick conversation with him made it clear that he understood our tastes in music and that he would be able to put together a night we would enjoy.
Working with Colin was super easy. We made a list of songs we liked, must plays, no plays. and special songs (like first dance), and shared it with him online. Then we talked to him on the phone about the general feel we wanted the night of (no hammy announcements, no electric slide, etc.). That’s it! Colin took what we gave him and ran with it. We had one more conversation a few days before the wedding to double-​check all the special songs and cues.
Colin arrived on time, in style, and set up well before guests arrived. He got all our cues right and kept the party going from start to finish. Everyone loved the music and raved about how fun the wedding was. Colin was really great at reading the crowd and stringing them along from one hit to another. I should also point out that his actual DJing skills are excellent — I often notice lesser wedding DJs flub the transitions, but Colin aced them all. It’s clear that Colin really enjoys his job, and it comes across in the music!
If I ever have the fortune /​misfortune to have another wedding, there are some things I might do differently, but one choice would be easy — The Remixologists. Thanks for making our special night even specialer!
