DJ Michael Basic

DJ Mike Basic is the best!
We were referred to him by a friend and super happy with everything! DJMB was easy to work with and he had a great Google doc that we were able to use and help guide us on planning what songs etc to play throughout our event!
Any DJ that is a fan Sandstorm as your wedding grand entrance song definitely is the DJ for you! (even if he just says it so you’re happy)
Thanks for doing a great job!

Amazing! Michael just DJ-​ed my wedding and he somehow got everyone to dance, from three years old to the 70+ year old guests! He was a huge hit and everyone kept commenting about how great the playlist was. He made the whole «hiring a DJ» process very easy and played exactly what we wanted him to play. Absolutely happy we had him there!

We were referred to DJ Michael Basic through a friend. He was absolutely fabulous from the beginning to end! He was able to come up with amazing songs for the wedding, when I couldn’t choose and has such an awesome personality! I wouldn’t change a thing! Our guests were coming up to us saying how fun he was and that he kept the party going. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike for any event.

We were referred to DJ Michael Basic through a friend for our wedding in West Hollywood and we couldn’t have been happier. He was communicative from start to finish, and worked with us on our unusual wedding format — ours was a *very* unconventional gay Hindu wedding! (yes, really) — and he didn’t miss a beat! (pun intended) — he was totally cool with us and our unconventional wedding and was totally accommodating with our pre-​wedding Hindu music playlist and our post-​wedding special songs that we wanted included. And then when the reception got going and the party got started he kept the people dancing (crazy fun!) late into the night! — we have tons of fun pics of our wedding guests having a blast to his music — so much fun…
He was also very reasonably priced and I think most-​importantly, he was a super-​nice guy! No attitude, no drama, no problems, totally professional, totally capable of doing whatever you need him to do — he has you complete a form prior to the wedding that asks very specific questions about your needs, and then you discuss this with him, so everyone is on the same page and all expectations are clearly met. This guy is great. Your search is over. Seriously! You’re done!

I was referred to DJ Michael Basic by a friend. I had waited a little too long to find a DJ and it couldn’t have turned out better. He did an amazing job and well surpassed expectations.
He emails a list, like others haven mentioned, that outlines the entire evening — even asking song that are «must plays» and «do not plays». This is great for someone like me who hadn’t thought of any of those details! He did a great job of moving the reception along and MC’ing the night! The music selection was also incredible, keeping everyone on the dance floor. Highlight was mashing my song choice for the wedding party and my husband’s song choice together…2 very different songs but TOTALLY worked! Kelly Clarkson, Tie it Up and Drake, Started from the Bottom… I know, I know… but it sounded great! I am telling you… he’s THAT good!
Worked within our budget and was a pleasure to have at the wedding! Can’t go wrong booking this guy! You won’t regret it!

Mike was the DJ for our wedding reception at the Santa Monica Bay Woman’s Club. He is terrific and I cannot praise him highly enough. He was always very professional, organized and responsive. He did a great job mixing songs together, and he played all the different kinds of music we requested (from cumbias, to 70s, to Timbaland). I know it was my wedding so I am biased, but I have never been to a wedding where everyone just kept dancing. ALL NIGHT. It was awesome and it was largely due to Mike’s amazing DJ-​ing.

After emailing several different DJ’s, Michael was awesome! He immediately replied with a long detailed list of questions and suggestions for the wedding. Not only did his info help me plan the details (ceremonial music choices, dinner music, introductions, first dance, father-​daughter dance, etc.), but it kept me on schedule and I had all of the details for the music planned out at least a month in advance. Michael was really easy to work with and had a simple set up the day of. The night of the wedding, everything went smoothly. He totally played all the songs we’d mentioned on our Must Play list and stuck to our Do Not Playlist — even when some wedding guests requested a song we hated!
The dance floor was packed all night long — he totally kept the party atmosphere going. One of my friends was 8 months pregnant at my wedding and when I last saw her, she told me «I was bummed that without any cocktails I wouldn’t have as much fun at your wedding, but the DJ was great and I had such a blast dancing all night long.»
I highly recommend Michael as a DJ — from beginning to end he was easy to work with, really helpful with suggestions, responsive, timely and a complete professional. And as any bride knows, that’s sometimes hard to come by with wedding vendors.

Michael DJ’d my wedding this past August at the SmogShoppe in Culver City. He was absolutely amazing! Basically, he made everything go off without a hitch. He mic’d up our ceremony flawlessly, had all the equipment and took care of our karaōke cocktail hour, and made sure the various media we had for our wedding was set up without worry – a short video my husband made for me, a choreographed first dance, not to mention a somewhat specific list of music we wanted to dance to for the night. He filled in the rest exactly the way we wanted without us having to tell him. He took care of everything perfectly.
Our wedding was totally awesome and a large part of it was thanks to his professionalism and skill. As an MC he was engaging but not overbearing, and was completely attentive to the party the whole night.
I’ve since seen him working at a few bars/​clubs in the LA area, and I’m still a huge fan. Thank you Michael for everything – you’re the best!
