“We had DJ Camilo as our DJ for the Upper Valley Aquatic Center’s 10th Anniversary Party and he did a WONDERFUL job. The music added so much to the event! Adults and kids alike LOVED his musical choices. In fact, we had requests for his contact info all day!” – Lisa S, White River Junction VT
“My business sponsors a number of community events in White River Junction and Camilo was recommended to us by a mutual friend. He has DJ’d a few of our parties recently and is SO GOOD at reading the room, setting the mood, keeping people moving or just easing in to a loungey atmospheric groove when the time is right. Our events often include guests ranging in age from teens to senior citizens, and I have seen this DJ give them all something to love!” – Kim S, White River Junction VT
“Excelente musica y el mejor DJ. El éxito de nuestra reunión por el 50 aniversario del comienzo de la universidad se debió entre otras cosas al magnífico trabajo de nuestro DJ Camilo. No hay duda que en futuras reuniones y fiestas contaremos con su talento. Muchas gracias Camilo! De parte de todos los invitados.” – Severo G, Miami FL

I take requests as I see fit. If I’m playing Drake, the Lil Wayne request can make its way to the rotation shortly. If I’m playing Steve Aoki and the crowd is jumping, I will reconsider the Frank Sinatra request that I just received.
Requests before the event are helpful and recommended so that I can have the songs prepared beforehand. They also allow me to tailor the music selection specifically for the event. A “Do Not Play” list is also valued as I can make sure the songs on that list will not transmit through my speakers at the event.
It’s extensive. 15,000+ songs. I am adding current music to my library every week. I have Pop, Rock, Alternative, Hip-Hop, R&B, Electronic, Reggae, and Latin music.
I typically start with modern pop and hip-hop music and then ease into electronic dance music as the night progresses. I can experiment with the crowd by giving them the music they didn’t even know they wanted to hear. If all else fails, I have certain songs up my sleeve, such as Usher’s “Yeah!”, that can get a crowd moving.
