About Decades Dancing DJ

I am a mobile DJ serving the Atlanta area with many years of experience.

Background

My DJ roots go back to New Orleans, where I learned the craft the old-school way — spinning vinyl and reading real dance floors.  I played regular nights at neighborhood clubs and lounges across the city and worked private parties and events where music knowledge mattered as much as energy.


After some time away, friends encouraged me to get back into the business. While the technology has evolved, the fundamentals haven’t: knowing the music, reading the room, and creating a great shared experience. Today, I bring that same crowd-first mindset to every event — blending classic dance favorites with modern hits to keep guests of all ages engaged.

My owned song library contains over 3200 songs from the 50's to the present.

My Vibe and Genres

My musical foundation is built on Motown, Funk, Disco, R&B, Philly Soul,  Pop, Retro Dance, Classic and Alternative Rock — the timeless sounds that consistently bring people to the dance floor.


While I specialize in music from the 50s through the 90s, I mix comfortably across all decades, including today’s popular hits. The goal is never to stay stuck in one era, but to create a flow that feels familiar, energetic, and fun for everyone in the room.


My approach is what I call “dancing through the decades.” I start by sampling multiple eras, then naturally settle into the styles and decades that resonate most with your guests. This keeps the dance floor inclusive and responsive, rather than locked into a rigid playlist.


I maintain a personally curated library of over 4,500 owned tracks, with deep roots in New Orleans R&B and classic soul — not just access to streaming catalogs. Knowing what to play and when to play it is what separates a great night from just background music.

I use only professional gear designed for a mobile DJ.  My equipment can easily handle up to 100 gue

My Sound System

Great sound should feel clear, full, and comfortable — never overwhelming. My system is designed to fill the room evenly, so your guests can enjoy the music and still hold a conversation when they want to.


I use a modern, professional-grade sound system that delivers high clarity at lower volume levels, creating an immersive dance floor experience without “blowing out” the room. This setup is ideal for events of up to 100 guests, where sound quality matters more than raw volume.


For announcements, toasts, or light MC duties, I provide two high-quality microphones running through a dedicated professional mixer. This ensures clean, feedback-free sound when it matters most.


If your event requires additional coverage or a larger setup, expanded sound options can be arranged upon request.

I will create a playlist specifically for your party, and gladly take requests from your guests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach me at jim@decadesdancingdj.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I bring deep musical knowledge across my core genres and decades, combined with a crowd-first approach to every event. While planning matters, the real magic happens in the room — responding to the energy of your guests and choosing the right song at the right moment.


Before your event, I take the time to understand your audience, including expected age ranges, musical preferences, and the overall vibe you want to create. During the event, I stay flexible, letting the crowd guide the direction rather than sticking to a rigid playlist.


It’s not about playing my favorites — it’s about creating an experience that feels familiar, fun, and inclusive for everyone on the dance floor.


When planning your event, I will ask about the age groups that you expect to attend.  For example, let's say you're planning your 50th birthday, retirement party, or just a gathering of friends.  I'll focus on songs from your generation, songs you remember, but keep it fluid for your guests that may be younger or older.


I DJ a wide range of private and social events where great music and a fun, relaxed atmosphere are the priority. My style is especially well-suited for gatherings that bring together multiple generations and guests who appreciate both classic favorites and familiar modern hits.


Common events I DJ include:


  • Birthday parties (including milestone celebrations)
     
  • Retirement parties
     
  • Class reunions
     
  • Theme parties (50s, 60s, 70s, disco, Motown, Mardi Gras)


  • Pool parties
     
  • Private home parties and social gatherings
     
  • Corporate and casual business events
     

I bring to every event a deep, personally curated collection of popular dance favorites across decades. A quick conversation is usually the best way to determine whether my jibe is the right fit for your event.


While I have DJ’d many weddings in the past, I am not currently booking wedding events.


I originally started DJ’ing in New Orleans, working local bars and private events alongside a close friend who had an extensive vinyl collection of 45 RPM records. We worked regular nights at the Parkway Tavern, Bruno's Uptown, Frankie & Johnny's, and the Bengal Lounge in Metairie.  Those early years were all about developing a deep connection between the music and your crowd.  



The simple answer is "yes".  I welcome requests from your guests.  On some occasions I may receive a request for a song that is not appropriate for your event.  As always, I will make a judgement to ensure the song doesn't kill the vibe of the party or isn't age appropriate.


Lights are actually quite important if your event space doesn't already support lighting appropriate for dancing.  You definitely don't want a well lit dance floor!  Lighting can also help define the chapter of your event where you and your guests want to hit the dance floor.  Time to dim the house lights and turn on the dance lights!


It's sometimes helpful for your guests to know in advance what chapters your event will include.  Will there be dancing?  Typical chapters include arrival, cocktails, food, and finally dancing.  Each of these chapters have a transition and lighting can really define the moment, let your hair down, and let's get crazy chapter!


Unless you want me to track an entire Louis Prima album (which did happen), I can attach most any iPhone or Android device to my mixer.  It's "your" event.  During our pre-event consultation, we can discuss content you may wish to provide.


For most private parties in the Atlanta area, my DJ services start at $395. Final pricing depends on the details of your event, including guest count, venue size, and overall setup needs.


The base service typically includes:


  • Event planning consultation
     
  • Customized music planning for your event
     
  • Professional DJ performance
     
  • Setup and breakdown of sound and lighting equipment
     
  • Standard dance floor lighting
     
  • Up to 4 hours of DJ service
     

For larger venues or events with more than 100 guests, additional sound or lighting may be recommended to ensure proper coverage and sound quality.


Optional services may include:


  • Additional hours beyond the initial 4
     
  • Enhanced lighting options
     
  • Expanded sound systems for larger spaces
     
  • Outdoor events that require a tent or portable power.  Note: pool parties or any outdoor event require a covered location for setup.


  • Challenging setup locations.  The client is responsible for providing reasonable and safe access to the setup location.  
     

The best way to provide an accurate quote is through a short conversation about your event. This ensures the setup matches your space and the experience you want to create.


I require at least 30 days notice in order to receive a full refund. If the cancellation is made within 30 days of the event, a partial or full refund may be given depending on the circumstances.
