You need a DJ who has worked rooms of 500 and rooms of 50,000. Dan Morrell of Mixmaster Throwdown has DJ'd Chicago Bears home games, B96 Summer Bash, and two decades of private events, weddings, and brand activations across the Chicago area. He reads a room, adapts on the fly, and does not overplay the same four Top 40 songs every other DJ is running.
