Outstanding! On behalf of the Kishwaukee Sunrise Rotary Club, thank you so much taking care of our Taste of DeKalb event over the weekend. Entertaining, professional, courteous and a perfect mix of music for the event. Looking forward to the next event.

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Kristian. He was so professional, respectful, and fun. We were able to ask him many questions before hand and he was willing to meet with us in advance to get to know our style. On the day of the wedding prior to the ceremony he was very discreet with putting up sound equipment I wouldn’t have known he was there except for the amazing sound system.

Behind the Beats/DJ Toxic= best DJ and musical experience for any event!!! I used him for my wedding and I could not have been happier! He made this really important time in my life more than I could have ever dreamed. At least 50 people asked me who my DJ was. I 100% recommend him to anyone for any kind of event because he is great at reading the crowd and bringing your event to life. I cannot thank him enough!!!!

Kristian worked with myself and my husband for our wedding a few days ago, and we could not say enough nice things about him! He answered all of our questions promptly and made sure all of our needs were met. Also, he did great the day of our wedding with coordinating our wedding party and clarifying details with us when needed. Also, our venue required some very unusual extra insurance that all of our vendors had never seen, but he worked with us and provided that information to them promptly! We really appreciated his ability to put our minds at ease with any scheduling issues. Kristian chose great music that night to keep the crowd happy, and we were beyond pleased with working with Kristian. We would recommend him for any upcoming event you have!

Behind The Beats Production (BTBP) was essential to our wedding. We completely underestimated how much influence a DJ has on the wedding day. There is no other option other than BTBP. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the wedding was and it was due to Christian’s efforts. He worked with us every step of the way, and he made our wedding day better than we could have imagined. We were nervous about the diversity of our guests and their different tastes of music blending with our own, but Christian made a perfect mix of everyones favorites. All aspects of the wedding from the ceremony to the dinner & toasts went so smoothly due to his attention and care. Our wedding day would not nearly have been as magical and perfect without our amazing DJ. Thank you, Behind the Beats for making our wedding dreams come true!

DJ Toxic performed at our wedding a few weeks ago. One of my favorite things about DJ Toxic was our in person meeting a few weeks before! It was so helpful and he went through all the details to make sure everything went smoothly at the wedding. I knew from then it was going to be awesome! He communicated with us about everything and all our requests were made. Nobody left the dance floor all night!!!! He played a perfect mix of everything! Would highly recommend. The DJ was my number one priority and he fulfilled my expectations!!
