DJ Emancipation

o represent both of our backgrounds, and also represent the culture that is California - hyphy, live, multiracial and fun. That was no small feat, and DJ Eman knocked it out of the park, working seamlessly with the Dhol player that we'd hired as well. If you're on the fence about who to hire, and want someone who knows how to read the room, I highly recommend DJ Eman - if you're also willing to give her artistic license to bring her own flavour to the mix, you won't be disappointed.

ny occasion.

fessional. Her music expands from old school hip hop, to modern and classic Arab beats, to raggae and dance hall to Afro pop to soul... the list goes on. And she works with you to make sure that every single song you want gets included in some shape or fashion. We loved working with her. She knew when to hype the crowd and when to bring it back down. Her experience really shines. She is def are go to now when I want to hold big events.

ved compliments from all of our guests on how great our DJ was. Thank you DJ Eman for being a part of our party and making it an amazing memorable night! Can’t wait to have her back for another event and would highly recommend if you want someone who is professional, friendly, and just great at what she does!

and we would not have been able to pull it off without her. When planning, we wanted to make sure that all of our friends and family had a genuinely fun time. It was important to us that the entire day be soulful and infused with ritual and celebration, rather than going through expected motions and gestures. I knew Emanne through the local Arab community, and from parties, clubs and events around the Bay, and loved her vibe and taste in music. She is so warm and vibrant. So it was an obvious choice to see if she would DJ our wedding. Emanne met with us a couple of times to get clear on what music and vibe we wanted. My husband is really passionate about music and particular about good mixing and sound systems. We also wanted to mix our cultures, bringing hip hop and Arabic music together. She guided us through the process of selecting specific songs we loved, songs we loathed, and leaving the rest to her, making it really simple and easy. We met as the date approached with her and our officiant to talk through details of the day of. And between them, we felt at ease that we where about to have fabulous celebration we really envisioned having. Emmane set up the gear and curated the sound from arrivals until we got told to leave the venue. She had everyone bopping during the ceremony, and had our mics set up for vows. She kept everyone energized during cocktails, played great music during dinner, and then really made our dreams come true for the dancing. This included moving around our venue several times, and MCing the day. She was super thoughtful about what mood to put folks into, altering genres and energy, playing great music that everyone loved. We have so many great photos of our elders and our friends all truly enjoying themselves. Emanne was one of the best decisions we made, and worth every penny. She went above and beyond in her thoughtful preparation. She really helped us fulfill what we wanted our celebration to be about, and we will forever be grateful.

so important to us to work with someone who's not only a talented DJ but who had the cultural awareness to know what works for a Bay Area Arab wedding. She took care to ask us for a couple different playlists ahead of time, including must-haves and secondary playlists, to make sure she understood the vibe we were going for and that we'd hear all our favorite songs. She's also just an awesome badass and fun to work with!
