Follow DJ MKL around for a week and chances are you’ll be stunned at the broad spectrum of music he plays — from hip-hop to latin, reggae, house music, pop and more. The desire to bring people together and have a good time through music, whatever the crowd, whatever the occasion has seen the sought after taste maker DJ play at some of the hottest spots in the city such as Le Bain, Cipriani and Gramercy Terrace.
His high energy sets and genuine passion for music guarantees a packed dance floor. An innate sense of knowing what to play and when has been cultivated over many years of honing his craft, both in the US and internationally (Japan, France, Italy, Moscow, Greece & Tulum). His private parties in the city and the Hamptons are talked about for days after.
Respected as both a DJ and music producer, MKL is aware of the newest artists and styles of music and able to move effortlessly between the classics and current hits to keep the party moving.
“I’ve learned over the years that there are only two types of music. Good and bad,” he says. “Whether it’s dance, hip-hop, pop, rock, ’60’s ’70’s, ’80’s, trap, Afro-beat. From Diana Ross to Diplo to Drake. And that’s just the D’s! If it moves the crowd, I’ll play it!” -MKL
