Our Services
The Music,Handled.
JN handles music, sound and DJ performance, working alongside your planner, venue and AV team.
Corporate Events
Music That FitsThe Room You Booked
Registration and cocktails want conversation. Dinner and the program want something warmer. What happens after the formalities is up to your guests. We read all three and play to them.

Corporate Events
Fashion Shows& Tech Company Events
High-End Retail Fashion Show
Runway timing is unforgiving — the music has to land on the walk, not near it. Open-format set cut to the show, then straight into the after-party. The lighting and staging in this room were the production team’s; the set and the sound were ours.
Tech Company Networking Event
Background music while the room filled, lifting into a dance set once the program ended
What We Brought
Sound scaled to the room, microphones for the presenters, and a set built around the run of show agreed in advance.
- Sound for 100–500+ attendees
- Cues timed to the program
- Coordination with the venue AV team
Runway Sets
Music cut to the walk, then a change of pace for the reception that follows.
- Set timed to the show
- Handover into the after-party
Tech & Startup Events
Launches, networking mixers and all-hands nights for a younger professional crowd.
- Conversation-level opening
- Dance set after the program
Reading the Room
Energy matched to what the room is actually doing, section by section.
- Registration and cocktails
- Dinner and speeches
- The floor afterwards
Professional Setup
Club-standard DJ equipment, tidy cabling, and redundancy for anything that could stop the music.
- Low-profile booth
- Backup gear on site
Corporate Events We Take
Brand Activations
Outdoor Events& Experiential Marketing
NYC Street Event, Playing From a Branded Float
A moving crowd and no fixed room. We supplied the DJ and the sound on board; the float, the branding and the permits were the client’s and their production team’s.
Mobile DJ Setup
Outdoor sound and an open-format set that works for a crowd walking past
Client-Branded Booth
The booth build was the brand’s; we played from it
Outdoor Work
Activations, street events and outdoor programs where the sound has to carry and the set has to hold a crowd that is not seated.
- Sound sized for open air
- Power and cover confirmed in advance
- A rain plan agreed before the day
Outdoor & Activation Work
Retail & In-Store
Store Events& Retail Activations
Music On a Selling Floor
MCM, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s are among the retail brands JN has played for. A store is not a party room: the music has to lift the floor without drowning the people trying to sell on it. Volume is set so a conversation at a counter still works, and the set builds as the evening goes on rather than starting at the top.
How Store Events Differ
A level agreed with the store manager before doors, and then held there for the night.
- Small footprint on the floor
- Cued around speeches or reveals
Programmed To The Evening
Opens as atmosphere while guests arrive and browse, lifts once the room is full.
- Arrival and browsing
- Peak hour
- Wind-down before close
Guests, Not a Dance Floor
Most store events never become a party, and the music should not force one.
- Conversation stays possible
- Energy without volume
Fits The Space
Low-profile booth and tidy cabling, placed where it does not block a display or a walkway.
- Quiet load-in
- Backup gear on site
Retail & Brand Work
Rooftop & Terrace Venues
Manhattan Rooftops& Open-Air Rooms
Eleven Years Behind the Decks at 230 Fifth
A long residency at one of Manhattan’s best-known rooftops. It is where the open-format habit came from — reading a room that changes completely between 6pm and midnight. The venue’s booth, screens and lighting are theirs; the eleven years of sets are ours.
Why It Matters For Your Event
Corporate rooftop parties behave like bar rooms, not ballrooms. Eleven years of doing it nightly is the reason the transitions work.
- Open-format mixing
- Energy read live
- Late-program pacing
Rooftops & Terraces
Compact setups for open-air spaces, sized to the terrace and kept inside the building’s sound limits.
- Outdoor-appropriate sound
- Weather cover confirmed in advance
The Whole Dial
Conversation-level music through drinks and dinner, then a full dance set if the evening calls for one.
- Background to peak
- Guided by your program

Optional Coverage
AddWhat You Need
Every package already includes the planning call and timeline. These are the extras that change a quote.
Extended Hours
Run past the scheduled finish when the floor refuses to empty. Priced by the hour.
Cocktail Hour Coverage
A separate set for the cocktail or registration space so the room is never silent.
Second Sound Zone
Extra speakers for a terrace, breakout room or overflow space that needs its own feed.
Early Setup / Idle Time
Load in and sound-check well before guests arrive when the venue schedule demands it.
Additional Microphones
Extra wireless channels for panels, presenters or an auction that needs more hands.
Lighting
Light The Room,Not Just The Booth
Lighting is priced separately from the DJ packages. What a room needs depends on its size and what is already installed, so we confirm coverage against the venue before quoting.
Small Venue Lighting
Add from $450
Compact LED lighting for the DJ booth and dance area in smaller rooms. Coverage is confirmed against the venue before the date.
Room Up-Lighting
Quoted per room
Fixtures placed around the perimeter to wash the walls and architectural features in a color chosen with you. Priced by how many the room actually needs.
Intelligent Moving Heads
Quoted per event
Moving fixtures programmed to the dance set, for larger rooms that want more than a static wash.
