He is also incredible in that he is extremely loyal to his clients -- he checked in with us a few times for "permission" to play songs that might have been borderline cheesy or just plain horrible! He has the most incredible selection of covers I've ever heard that was perfect for during dinner. I can't wait for a copy of the playlist it was seriously that good! Mike's also super easy going and good in a pinch - he was able to track down our first dance song with little notice. Would for sure recommend him - and actually, some friends who were at our wedding are already talking about booking him for their wedding next summer they had so much fun!! I'd say that pretty much speaks for itself as far as reviewing him goes! Mike DJ’d our wedding earlier this month and we (my husband and I) both agree he does a very good job of reading the crowd.

Well sorta, but basically. Check me taking portrait pictures 15 mins before I walk down the aisle and my coordinator coming up to me and telling me my ceremony musician thought the wedding was the following day...Before I had time to freak out on everyone and drive to the musician's place and bomb his house DJ THC Electra was taking care of it!!!! He was overall incredibly professional, stuck to the few rules I gave him (no "wedding" music, played the must-play songs), he was a great MC as well, and he got up and danced a bit! Very creative in his music, he just has some sixth sense about it all. Everything went off without a hitch and sooo many people said it was the most fun wedding they had been to. People of all age groups were jammin' all night long. My step-mom even asked my dad to dance, which is unheard of! It was a perfect time overall. First off, Mike saved my life at my wedding.

I actually found him originally through Yelp among a handful of great reviews - and he did not disappoint! He played a great mix of music, and kept the party going all night long - the dance floor never slowed. Such a pleasure to work with and very professional - and the kind of guy you want to join the party. He even went out of his way to stop by our hotel after the wedding and drop off my sister's camera and a few other odds and ends left at the venue which was SO nice, and sent us home with some great tunes for our drive up to Santa Barbara. I'm so happy he was a part of our wedding and would hands down recommend him to others looking for a dj for their upcoming event. LOVE Mike!

I read about Mike on Yelp and It just so happened that he was the DJ at our engagement party at "Wurstkuche" downtown LA. It knew it was a sign! So I contacted Mike and he was really cool from the get go! As soon as I decided to book him for my may15, 2010 wedding we became instant pen pals going back and forth about music and details about our big Day. He's pretty busy so make sure to confirm all appointments with him. I do this with all my vendors anyways. We met over coffee in Hollywood to describe the vibe we wanted and more important...didn't want. I met with Mike one more time right before the wedding and he printed out my list of DO's and Don'ts and managed to set up his DJ booth the day before. He had two stations so that he could bounce inside and out of our 2 party rooms. He did have a few technical difficulties but I was impressed with how he dealt with them very quickly and professionally. Mike went on into the late hours and really got the crowd going~! Dancing and he even played a few more songs after they cut him off! It was awesome! Mike is a lifer! and I can't wait to use him at another party! He DJ's at Adam Sandler's Xmas party every year so that's gotta stand for something, right? Also make sure to always be specific! Even though Mike is an amazing DJ it's always important to be SPECIFIC with music, timing, microphone, and lighting so you get exactly what YOU want. Do your homework and make sure you are organized!(That is just the way I like to do things and it calms me to have all my ducks in a row) Hire him for your wedding!!!! I did! and i couldn't be happier!!!!! Oh and he will also send you a copy of your music from that night! Way cool! Thanks Mike!!!!! He rocked it!!!!! I really wanted him to play "total eclipse of the heart" by the Dan Band. He found the perfect moment to play it and the crowd went crazy over it!

People were up and dancing even before dinner was served. He took requests and was willing to go with the flow of the evening with no problems. After the older folks left is when the party really started to get under way. All the 20 and 30 somethings were up and dancing right up until midnight when the music had to be turned off. I am so happy we decided to hire THC Electra for our wedding, we couldn't have had anymore fun, even if we tried.

Then, stepping out of the fog of lame came Mr. DJ THC Electra! Electra -- aka Mike -- was all of this and more: Professional - Creative - Thoughtful - Friendly - On Point - Wily - Fun My beef with most DJs? They think they're too cool for school. Well, Mike is cool, but also ready for class. He worked overtime with us to craft an evening of Indie-New Wave-Classic Rock-Folk-Funk that had our guests up off their duffs in a hurry. We are extremely anal about our music, and Mike played ball, spinning everything from '60s French Pop to Van Halen to a choice cut from the Mary Poppins soundtrack. Since the big night we've been slammed with hugs and high-fives over our DJ selection! Thanks again, Electra!!!

Perfect fit! (mike I think his name was). I personally overheard over 5 guests on separate occasions going up to him with positive words. Please pass along the feedback to whoever books the talent. thanks. Arminé The DJ was new, first night playing here, and he was awesome! Perfect fit! (mike I think his name was).

He did not disappoint! Not only did he have the patience to deal with me long distance as I planned my L.A. wedding from Boston where I live, but he ended up putting on an event that my friends are still talking about. He juggled a ton of diverse song requests, put his own spin on things, and had pretty much everyone up and dancing until the venue closed down. Not only that, but he's a genuinely nice guy - easy to work with, good to grab a beer with, super professional.

Tasked with finding a DJ for an office party isn't easy. Tasked with finding a DJ for a wedding-themed office party, that could convey the right feel AND keep the crowd happy - not easy. However, DJ Mike will now make it easy for us from now on, since he is not just any DJ - he is a wedding DJ that doesn't even compare to anything I've ever heard before. I definitely recommend going and listening to some of the tracks on his site - he's up to date with what 'the kids' are listening to now, makes mixes that keeps the crowd going and was just an awesome DJ to have around. We'll never hire anyone else. Tasked with finding a DJ for a wedding isn’t easy. Tasked with finding a DJ for an office party isn’t easy.

Mike was extremely well spoken and professional and delivered everything he promised. He had an amazing attitude despite the music that may have been requested and treated everyone with kindness. He was on time, had state of the art equipment, low-maintenance, smiled and looked like he was enjoying the whole evening and played spectacular music all night long! I look forward to hiring Mike again!
