Dina Michele

Behind the Beats came to our school and DJ-ed our end of the year dance party. Not only was all of his communication excellent before the event, but we got everything we asked for and then some! Everyone, kids and adults alike, had a blast!!!

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!!!!

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.

Kristian is hands down THE BEST!! We had seen him in action at two previous weddings we had attended so as soon as we got engaged and had a date set he was the first person I reached out to! He knows how to get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there!! I would and do recommend Kristian to anyone looking to have one hell of a dance party at their wedding! Thank you so much for everything Kristian!!

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!

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!!
