DJ Seth Isaacs

I FINALLY invested some time on some new mixes and wanted to spread the word.  It's an EDM mix with tons of big room sounds, electronic keys, basslines, and some Trap and Dubstep edits.  It's pefect for popping a few pills and getting your sweaty dance on -- or for those cardio sessions.

Head on over to the Music section to stream and download or check it out on Soundcloud. 

Here's my set list from my first nght over at the Exchange Street Bistro in Malden, MA.  It's a posh, dinner/drink spot in downtown Malden that feels more like downtown Boston.  It's small enough to feel cozy but still has plenty dining space, a spacious bar wrap-around stoolage, and even has a few function rooms.

Ken over at Murray Hill hooked up this weekly event.  Check out my set list below.  

What's up party peoples.  I haven't been posting too regularly and for that I apologize.  However, a quick update that I'll be down at the Exchange Street Bistro located at 67 Exchange Street in Malden, MA from 6pm-12am tomorrow, Thursday, Aprl 4th.  This is supposed to be a weekly happening so we'll see how it goes.

Happy Sweet 16 to Dani and thank you to her mom Lisa for having me as part of their celebration.  Burgers, birthday cake, and balloons, Dani celebrated in style with a healthy helping of her closest friends alongside an impressive buffet of pizza, make-your-own tacos, and of course burgers.  And what better way to celebrate than to have me come out and spin the best in Top 40, a sprinkle of Alt Pop Rock, and some throwback Jay-Z and Beyonce?  We started off with a little midtempo Kelly Rowland, Justin Bieber, and Rita Ora and then kicked it up after dinner until the wee hour of 11pm.  Check out the set list below.

Congratulations again to the birthday girl, shouts to her mom for having me come through, and man do those girls know how to party.  

Big Shouts to Lena and the rest of the IEC crew for partying so hard last night at their annual holiday party.  This was my third year making my appearance as their DJ and this year the annual event was held at the Boston Public Library.  It's always a pleasure working with The Catered Affair and the food and acommodations were impecible as always at the BPL.

Here is my set list from the Lovesick Expo that took place last Sunday, January 20th at the Epicenter at Artists for Humanity in South Boston.  It was definitely not your average weddng expo from the Boston Circus Guild providing entertaintment ranging from the more reserved (bands and belly dancers) to the more exotic (a burleque performance) to the taco truck parked out back to prizes being awared for the best Tweet.  It was also a fruitful event for us at the Beat Train Productions booth as we schmoozed with current and potential and current clients and provided the musical soundscape for the expo.

Below, check out my set list from that event.  Trading off with the various bands, myself, Nick, and Greg each had a 30-50 minute set to play a little Rock, Indie, and whatever else tickled our fancy.

Here's my latest mix -- a soulful and funky mix jam-packed with twenty-three classic joints and a few newer songs.  It's been a while since I've done anything new and certainly since I've messed with any funk or disco so hopefully it gets you up offa that thang.

A big shout out congratulations to Hans and Wendy who were married on December 15, 2012 at the beautiful Whispering Pines on the University of Rhode Island campus in West Greeniwhich, Rhode Island.  This was my first time at Whispering Pines and it was a marvelous event.  The ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all took place inside the wonderfully rustic and charming Laurel Lodge that features plenty of dark woodwork, vintage furniture, and is finished with a spaciously screened in porch sporting lavish space heaters.

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing took place in the living room area which is equipped with a fireplace, classical woodworking and accompanying furniture, and a festive Christmas tree.  A mouth-watering dinner buffet complete with individual racks of lamb, fish, butternut squash ravioli, and salivating-inducing garlic mashed potatoes was prepared in the dining room with music provided mostly by friends and family who were instructed to sing their favorite song in order to convince the bride and groom to exchange a kiss.  An open bar encouraged patrons out onto the dance floor after dinner and a camp fire was the vehicle for s'mores once dancing ended from 9pm-11pm.

I wish the two all the best and their friends and family could not have said sweeter, more complimetary words about the couple.   

Congratulations again!

For a national Sephora sales event, I had the pleasure of being the in-store DJ at the Sephora store at the Northshore Mall in Peadbody, MA from 6pm-9pm.  As per usual, they wanted an ecclectic mix of indie rock and electronic music and some pop  -- and I sprinkled in whatever else tickled my fancy.  Thank you to the wonderful staff who not only made requests but kept the party going all night and shouts to their VIB program that will hopefully continue to attract some of their biggest shoppers all weekend long.

Without further delay, here's my set list:

Just posted in the Video section is a new, quick video promo courtesy of the boutique wedding DJ company Beat Train Productions.  Seth is a three-year veteran of the company which is owned and operated by Ari Rosenfield.  They're in the process of creating new promotional materials for all of the Beat Train DJs and this is the first component.  The video is one-take, one-shot, 10 minutes of uninterrupted DJing and was recently filmed at a Beat Train Wedding where Seth was the DJ.  

Peep the video below or head on over to the Video section.  Also be sure to check out Beat Train Productions Boston (they've also got it locked in New York).   

 

DJ Seth Isaacs was included in an article featuring the photography work of Phil Lehans at the wedding of Scott Haven and Vanessa Chinga August 2011 in Sterling, MA last August.  The Gallery already features a few photos by Lehans from that wedding but only just recently, Style Me Pretty picked up the pictures and wrote the article showcasing his work at this wedding which took place in the middle of Hurricane Irene.  The winds were heavy, the rains neverending, but the the weather was stayed by a beatiful tent that sheltered the bride and groom and their family and friends as well all enjoyed the festivities.  

Scott and Vanessa are longtime friends and my services were given as a gift to the bride and her groom.

Visit Phil's website and click here to read the article and view the pictures. 

Shouts to Josh McAlear over at Redemption Tattoo for hooking up the new artwork on my left forearm.  I always said that I would at least wait until I had kids before getting a tattoo (thinking the day would never come and I'd never have to man up and actually get one) but my wife and a good friend put me to the test back in 2010 wirth the birth of my daughter.  She laid claim to my right arm and with now with the birth of my son on 7/7/2012, I was finally able to show him some inked up love on the left.  

I'm scheduled to return to Redemption in a couple of weeks to have his birthdate added to the inside of my left bicep.  Those pictures to follow.

Uncovered this little gem when digging through an old back up of my hard drive. 

Enjoy!

Kirk and Kerry were my first military wedding and they sure showed me a good time.  From traditional Irish music to hand stand contests to some form of impromptu military rowing formation on the middle of the dancefloor, Kirk and Kerry and their friends and family kept the party moving.  I had an amazing time and the good folks at Harrington Farm out in Princeton, MA took good care of us all.  I'm going to be reaching out the photographer, too, so maybe we can get some pics uploaded as well later on.

Congratulations to this wonderful couple and I wish them all the happiness in the world.   

Muchos congratulations to Mat and Elise.  I had the privelage of being their DJ last weekend and wanted to take a moment to post my set list.  They were amazing clients and they, their friends, and family danced their a**es off and I couldn't have had more fun.  I also always love it when I get to play 90's and 2000 Hip-Hop and R&B.  

Enjoy!

"It's been a long time -- I shouldn't have left you -- without a dope mix to dance to..."

I love dropping obvious rap lyrics to start a post.  Anyway, all cliches aside, I finally found an hour to put together a new mix.  It's a burner full of new/popping Top 40 Dance from Bieber to Ying Yang and Nicki to some "Call Me Maybe" mash-up nonsense.  Seventeen tracks in all coming in just over 30 minutes.  

Check below or head over to Soundcloud for this and some older goodness.

Top 40 Dance Mix (07/2012) by Seth Isaacs

 

Big congratulations to Jay and Brian who were married last Saturday, May 19th.  They were kind enough to hire me as their wedding DJ through Beat Train Productions and alongside my trusted sidekick, Greg, and through we provided uplighting for their ceremony and reception and music during the cocktail hour, dinner, and then of course for dancing.  It was an amazingly ecclectic crowd of old and young, friends and family, with a massive range of musical taste.  As always, Norton's Woods provided a beautiful and artistic backdrop and the food was spectacular.  I wish I had gotten the photographer's name, too, cuz he was a cool dude -- and father of three.  I don't know how he finds time to shoot weddings.

I digress, so without further adue, here is my set list for dancing:

Congratulations to Taran & Robert who were married on Saturday, March 12 at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center!  I was privelaged to be their DJ for dinner and dancing and had an amazing time.  Thank you guys!  It was an intimate affair with close collection of family and friends in attendance.  

Big shouts to Doug Levy Photography for the amazing job taking pictures some pictures and be sure to check out his blog post for Taran & Robert's wedding on Doug's blog.

Congratulations again to the newlyweds!

Sorry for the delay in putting up my set list, but check it:

Put together a quick little blend with J-Kwon's "Hood Hop" and of course, everyone's favorite club anthem, "In Da Club." Nothing fancy, but it works.  True thug rap right here, ladies and genlemen.
