DJ matt and famous entertainment is perfect for any wedding. They did everything any of those "Bigger" corporate or venue preferred DJ companies would do AND MORE.
DJ Matt gave our wedding 200% effort! He visiting our homes to go over specific details when a problem had come up. He lifted my mom in a chair, he was on the dance floor breathing life into our party. He held the limbo pole, his team did the most elegant and beautiful dancing on the clouds that went stunningly well with our choreographed dance.
His photobooth team had props that kept our guests entertained and still talking about after months.
His lighting system worked really well at the FOX HOLLOW, and he even has some really good TV screens that fit the venue.
I hired them outside of the knot, but it was the best decision for my wedding.

Hi and thanks so much for your awesome review.
Matthew and our DJ Robert and Anthony who ran the photobooth made our wedding a blast!! From the very first conversation I had with Matthew to the day of our wedding, we felt completely confident in how everything would turn out and we were not disappointed! Robert played the music we requested as well as music he felt best to suit our crowd and he read the room so well! Highly recommend Famous Entertainment and their photobooth as well! Thank you for making our special day awesome!

g us part of your wedding.
Any questions?
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing famous entertainment Photo Booth at a my wedding, and it was an absolute hit! From start to finish, the service provided by the team was exceptional, making it a memorable addition to the wedding.
The setup was sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into the venue's decor. The booth itself was spacious enough to accommodate groups, which made for some fun and lively photos.
They offered a fantastic array of props that added a playful element to the photos.
The quality of the photos was outstanding. The images were sharp, vibrant, and professionally printed on high-quality paper. Guests could take home their prints instantly, which served as a wonderful keepsake from the event. We opted for a Photo Booth as well for ourselves, and our guest were able to write cute notes alongside their pictures.
Famous entertainment Photo Booth was a delightful addition to the wedding, providing entertainment and capturing memories in a unique way. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday party, or corporate event, I highly recommend their services for a fun and engaging experience.

Our wedding was amazing DJ Matt was very organized and played all the music we requested at the right moments. DJ Matthew Ray our MC was awesome with the MIcroophone and passing it around to let everyone join in the fun if singing and dancing the night away. Also our photophrapher Joe did amazing work from start to finish with the church to the end of the event at Jericho Terrace along with the videographer. The photos came out amazing, and looking forward to the completed video.

Thanks so much Alfonse. You and Jade are a great couple and your wedding was perfect. Friends and family will remember your wedding night with great joy.
We had such a great time with Matt as our DJ for our wedding! It truly was a night won’t forget and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Matt was incredibly professional and helped us ensure our day was perfect. We weren’t sure about what songs to choose and quickly became overwhelmed on our own. It was great to have Matt so that we could share our ideas, and the music turned out to be great the entire night! We were seriously impressed by how the flow of our reception went. We thought our guests were not much of the dancing crowd but despite that, Matt found a way to get them going. Throughout the night there would be periods of dancing followed by speeches and dinner, and more dancing. Our guests loved that! It felt like atmosphere was always joyous and fun. We had many guests tell us “this DJ is great! There’s music for all generations to enjoy.” He blended all the songs we requested, and his ability to read the crowd was great.
At the end of the night Matt had the idea to have our guests use their phone lights to light up the room as we all sang and danced. It was truly a magical moment.
Thank you, Matt, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Thanks so much for such a powerful review. We deeply appreciate your kind words. Thanks so much for making us part of your wedding.
We had the incredible pleasure of having Matt as the MC/DJ for our wedding at Long Beach Island, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we first spoke, Matt was attentive, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our day special.
On the day of the wedding, Matt was punctual and seamlessly set up, ensuring everything was ready to go without any stress on our part. The music was absolutely perfect—every song seemed to flow effortlessly into the next, keeping our guests on the dance floor all night long. Matt has an incredible ability to read the crowd and played a fantastic mix of songs that appealed to all age groups, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
One of the standout moments was when Matt played our special requests at just the right times, making those moments even more memorable. He also handled all the announcements and transitions with such ease and charisma, ensuring the entire evening was smooth and enjoyable.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music was and how much fun they had dancing. Matt truly helped make our wedding day a magical celebration that we will cherish forever.
Thank you, Matt, for your exceptional service and for being such a vital part of our special day. We highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a DJ who is not only talented but also a joy to work with.

Thanks so much Joe. Some couples you remember for the rest of your life as a DJ you’ll be that couple. Thanks so much for working closely with me and creating a five-star gold wedding reception. We did amazing.
DJ Matt was great at my small wedding, he brought a lot of energy. He got the party going, everyone was on the floor. He played the songs we wanted, and had some good songs for the parents and others. He kept in contact before the wedding, going over the songs we wanted, making sure everything was how we wanted. Also the price can't be beat.
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2024
Thanks so much Amy for your amazing review.
Mathew was great! He knows how to lead the crowd and also knows how to get the crowd dancing without allowing them to feel uncomfortable. His prices for each service are very much worth it. He’s mindful of timing and scheduling if you provide that to him as well. If you’re looking for a DJ you will not regret your choice of choosing him
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2024
Hi Angel, thanks so much for your beautiful review. We really appreciate the help and support.
If you’re looking for a great DJ, Matt is your guy. Matt was not only amazing to work with, but a true professional. His years of DJ experience really made our wedding a night to remember. Not all DJ’s are created equal, and Matt proved that and then some!

Hi Kelly and Todd I just want to say thank you for an awesome review. It was our honor to be a part of your wedding. Thanks so much.
Matt was very professional and well organized
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2023
Hi Stan thanks so much for your review. You created the best cocktail hour music playlist of the year. Everybody commented on how powerful the music was. Thanks so much DJ Matt
Even though the weather didn’t show up for us at our wedding, Matt @Famous Entertainment certainly did. He kept the sun shining inside and us on the dance floor the whole night- from ceremony to last one out the door. I cannot recommend another vendor more than this man and this company. Not only was he patient during my initial interview- with my 8 pages of questions- but his experience and professionalism throughout was incredible. His follow through and delivery was unmatched. Wedding business is crazy business, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate - things are forgotten and left behind- things you wanted and planned for- But I can hands down say Famous Entertainment did everything exactly that we spoke about. If this company has a t-shirt to give me, I would happily wear it for free advertisement. Everyone deserves to have a person and company like THIS at THEIR party. He was Letter to the law on our planning and contract. My dad was very nervous about me selecting a DJ, and I’m pretty sure now he is going to ask to be Matt’s penpal. Famous Entertainment has redefined perfection. If you do not book this company for your services - I promise you did not get the absolute BEST in the business.

Hi Danielle, thanks so much for your awesome review and thank you for making us part of your wedding event.
Matt was awesome at my daughter's Sweet 16! We used him last year as well, we could not wait to have him for our daughter's party. Top of line equipment sound and effects, makes for a stellar look in any room. He worked the party and got everyone up and moving all night. I wouldn't use anyone else and have recommended him to many family and friends.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2023
Hi Melanie, thanks so much for making us part of your daughter Sweet 16. It truly was one of the best Sweet 16’s of the year.
Matt Whitman is an incredible DJ & made our wedding day so special! I recommend using famous entertainment to anyone that wants their event to be nothing short of spectacular!!!! Our photographer, Joe Licul was the greatest and really captured every moment of our evening. I will always recommend this company!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2023
Thanks so much Jessica for your awesome review and mentioning the fact that we included Photography in your package. Thanks so much for making us part of your wedding event.
Matt was very professional and takes pride in his work. Matt gave us planning forms to fill out before the wedding to make sure he plays all the music that we wanted to hear. We also had some tough weather conditions at our outdoor wedding and Matt went above and beyond to make sure he didn’t skip a beat and kept the party going all night. Highly recommend and will be using Matt again in the future.

Thanks so much Jennifer for leaving us this beautiful review.
Matt was incredibly good. he came prepared for the venue. was there an hour earlier. He played exactly the music that we wanted. all of my friends and family were dancing a lot and having a lot of fun. The vibes were exactly how we asked. Chill at the beginning and party by the end. I am originally from Spain and my husband was born and raced in amercia. he was able to mix both music cultures into the party. I would totally recommend matt for any party. he knows what he is doing.
Matt was a phenomenal DJ at our recent wedding. He is very friendly and personable and can relate to all audiences - from kids to elders and can adjust the music played accordingly. He allows you to fill out a questionnaire which is detailed so that he gets the info he needs to have the music you want at your event. I would recommend him highly!
We used Famous Entertainment ,
for our wedding and my Sons graduation. Matt is an excellent DJ., with a great set list . professional and talented party motivator and an excellent MC. He knows exactly how to get people up to dance. The whole DJ experience was amazing . Our guest commented on how good the DJ was after the wedding . Highly recommend famous entertainment
To the greatest DJ and MC of all time,
We hope this email finds you well and thriving. We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the absolutely amazing job you did as our DJ and MC at our wedding.
Your energy, enthusiasm, and ability to keep the dance floor alive and buzzing throughout the night truly made our celebration unforgettable. The way you seamlessly transitioned between songs had everyone grooving from start to finish. Your talent for reading the crowd and playing tunes that catered to all tastes was truly commendable.
Moreover, the charismatic presence and skillful guidance as the MC added a special touch to the evening. Your ability to engage our guests and keep the program flowing smoothly contributed immensely to the fun and joyful atmosphere of the night.
Our wedding night was more than we could have ever imagined, and you both played an integral role in making it so. We received numerous compliments from our guests about how fantastic the music and entertainment were.
We appreciate your professionalism, dedication, and the genuine passion you both brought to our celebration. You not only met but exceeded our expectations, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Thank you once again for helping us create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. We wish you continued success and hope our paths cross again in the future.
I had to cancel last minute and matt was extremely understanding and professional. really appreciated that.
Absolutely would recommend Matt to anybody he was the best DJ ever!
Fantastic! Professional, caring and easy to work with. Very responsive and made sure ahead of time we had the music we wanted for our wedding. Everyone had a great time.
Matt was great, so enthusiastic, and managed the dance floor well. He acted as a DJ and MC, and got our guests motivated !
Matt and his team were incredible from inception to completion. He reached out plenty of times prior to our event to get a sense of who we were, our taste in music, and the kind of vibe we wanted at our reception. It honestly went perfect! I highly recommend him. Also, it’s worth getting the 360 booth. It was such a huge hit!
I have to say hands down he was the easiest DJ company to work with had the crowd dancing all night and really enjoyed the 360 photo booth as well as the regular photo also had him do this zap photos. Would highly recommend him for your wedding.
We were really happy with the service . We rented a Photo Booth for my daughter’s quinceanera . The attendant was professional and friendly. The props selection was awesome for our guests. Prints were accommodated for the number of people in each take. The quality of the picture were great as well.
I am a Wedding Officiant and have been in the Wedding Industry for over 20 years and know Matt and Famous Entertainment for many years. Many of my couples have used Matt and Famous Entertainment and always have been very happy with his professionalism and amazing Wedding experience. I would highly recommend Famous Entertainment for any couple looking to make their special day Perfect!
Dj Matt was absolutely fantastic ! He was very professional and made me feel comfortable leaving such an important roll in his hands. We truly had a great time at our wedding and couldn't thank him enough. He also got some great pictures and was so happy to share them with us.

Thanks so much Amanda and Tom
I was blown away with the entertainment that was provided for me by Famous Entertainment Dj Matt. We danced all night long. The songs that were played reached all ages that attended my wedding. The day after the wedding I got so many text messages raving about the DJ. We also had his Photo booth which was amazing. His prices were the best especially in the economy. We were able to have such a memorable wedding I can't say enough about the this company which I would highly recommend for any event.
We hired Famous Entertainment for our College Formal and we had a great experience. The DJ and Photo-booth came on time to the event location and set and clean up went very well. We will definitely hire this company for future events!

Thanks so much Macarena. Me, Joe, Kenny and Ruben appreciate your kind words
Matt did an amazing job at my wedding. From beginning to end he had my guests up and dancing. Not to mention we had some last minute special requests and he made it all come together.
Matt and his crew were great from start to finish of the wedding.
DJ Matt was energetic, easy to work with and very knowledgeable of all genres of music. He was very personable and was very easy to work with.
Can’t say enough about his work. Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend him for your next event.
Matt and his crew did an amazing job for our wedding. We literally have zero complaints! When we arrived for cocktail hour everything was set up and going swimmingly. The transitions and music and level of energy was on point through out the entire reception! We will be using there service again and for sure recommend them!
Matt was great to work with! He prioritized learning how to say our names. He asked a lot about our music preferences and was even able to incorporate Israeli music. He brought someone to run our photo booth which was also great. He even brought a scrapbook for guests to sign next to their freshly printed photo booth pictures. Would definitely recommend!
These guys were absolutely amazing and made sure everyone was up dancing and having a great time. Matt made some great decisions in terms of music and Chris had everyone up dancing. We had so many people come up to us after to ask about them after the wedding!
Matt was amazing! We filled out a detailed five page packet about the specific music and vibe we wanted for wedding. Which Matt went over with us to make sure our wedding would be everything we wanted. Our friends and friends have been raving for days about what a fun time they had. Matt made it all happen.
I would 100% recommend Matt for your next event!
Matt and his crew were AMAZING. He helped us make our wedding everything we dreamed of and he was so easy to work with. Everyone was dancing the entire night away - it was hard to get anyone to sit down. I highly recommend Matt for your wedding or any other party - you will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything Matt and team!
Matt and his team were absolutely amazing! As if Rona wasn’t enough - hurricane Elsa flooded my entire venue forcing us to relocate to another venue. Despite the minor setbacks Matt told me not to stress and that his only concern was to make sure my husband and I were happy. Thanks Matt for making our wedding a success.
The second we walked in to meet Matt, we knew he was the DJ for us. The DJ is there to bring life to your entire party, so obviously they are one of the most important vendors. Matt was one of those DJs you can tell LOVED his job, had GREAT energy, and thats the kind of guy we were looking for. He was incredibly flexible and available any time we had a question or an update to our song list. We had a few strange requests and were worried about what we were asking of him and he DELIVERED.
We had a small wedding and were worried the dance floor would be empty, but Matt made sure this was not the case. He knew what to play and when to keep the party alive. Also, having a small wedding we were worried about over spending on vendors, but Matt's price point was EXACTLY where we wanted tit to be, and he was honestly one of the most affordable guys out there.
We also booked a photographer through Famous Entertainment. We went with a package that had a photographer for the ceremony and reception. Rey was our photographer and went above and beyond to get all the right shots. He didn't keep us long from the party to get the list of photos we asked for, and half the time you barely realized he was there. We received our photos back VERY quickly and were amazed at the results.
We didn't need to spend thousands of dollars on him, but the service was top tier. I couldn't recommend Famous Entertainment more. They really made our day special.
The Dance floor was packed from start to finish. Everything that was requested was done in a professional manner with a lot of class. Everyone had a great time and we received rave reviews from our guest.
I apologize in advance for the length of this review. But anyone committed to planning and executing a wonderful event should consider taking the time to read it - written by a Type A organizer who is beyond grateful for the AMAZING services provided by Famous Entertainment. So much so that I plan to hire them again next year :) (NOTE: this event was not a wedding, but they do a variety of event).
Matt and Jenny of Famous Entertainment - the "Dynamic Duo" as I now call them - went above and beyond for our event. They were VERY accommodating, VERY professional, GREAT communicators and best of all - WONDERFUL entertainers! Here's the long version of a longer story ;) ....
I'm on the Board of a Long Island non-profit with a membership of 120+ families. In preparing for our upcoming Holiday party & fundraising event (which we have been hosting annually for decades), I wanted to explore ways to take the event in a new direction, so I went to the Celebrate Showcase Party Expo at the Marriot in Melville. In a room full of vendors, I gravitated to Famous Entertainment because they had a great set-up with an energized and welcoming team of people who looked genuinely happy to be there and to connect with people (it also helped that they were not pushy). They not only took the time to speak with me (I spoke with Matt, Jenny and at least 2 other reps), but they also engaged my kids with the cool open-air photo-booth so that I could speak with them uninterrupted. They were all sweet and clear about what they could offer our event. Well, my kids adored them and so did I. Two days later I booked them for our event over the phone and I am so glad I did - hence this super long review.
Considering our organization is a non-profit and the event was both a fundraiser and festive Holiday party for families residing throughout Long Island (from newborns to grandparents), Matt worked with our tighter-than-tight budget and made us an offer we couldn't refuse - "accommodating" is an understatement. We took the DJ & photo-booth package and it surpassed our expectations. The day of the event, Matt and Jenny showed up early, prepared, and ready to go. When Jenny saw that I was on a time crunch and running around to finish things up before attendees arrived, she jumped right in to help me with whatever we needed - talk about an angel sent from above!
I cannot emphasize enough that this was a venue full of 60+ kids and their families , and EVERYONE - children, parents, grandparents - enjoyed themselves and left saying how much of a wonderful time they had! They kept a 3-hour long event full of kids going, without a single meltdown - that in itself speaks VOLUMES! From the music, to the entertaining activities (games, hoola-hoops, parachute, giveaways) to the photo-booth, Famous Entertainment made our event both a blast and a fundraising success!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU Famous Entertainment!!! Matt and Jenny, if you are reading this - see you again next year ;)
(I am leaving this review on other sites because these guys deserve a huge shout-out for their amazing services & generosity!)
Great and accommodating. He worked with us to create an experience bassed on our budget. He kept the party fun and lively, everyone had a great time
Ive been planning my wedding ever since I was a little girl. So when the time came to actually make it real life I was on top of everything, I had everything booked including my DJ a year in advance. 5 weeks before my big day I was slammed with the news that my DJ, whom was paid in full and came SO highly recommended through all the wedding sites, went out of business. Devestated yes. Stressed DEFINITELY. A co-worker told me about Famous Entertainment as she recently attended an event they hosted. Desperate and full of hope I called. Well this was the best decision I ever made. I spoke with Matt the owner, who immediately assured me that it was going to be ok and he would make sure they treat my wedding with high priority...and he did! He perfected our playlist with ease, he made the reception room illuminate with his lighting and even brought a photo booth which was a real fun addition for our guests and photographer. Aside from all that, the unbelievable energy that Matt had and his ability to get all guest out on the dance floor was amazing!! As all brides know, our biggest fear is that no-one will dance at your wedding...lol Not with this guy. He even had my 87 yr old grandmother out on the floor. At the end of the night we learned that things truly do happen for a reason and we were so grateful to Matt and his staff at Famous Entertainment for taking us on and making my worst nightmare a dream come true! I highly recommend this company.
Matt is the most amazing DJ I have ever hired. When I first found him, I already had my other DJ back out on me. Thank god I did, Matt gave me an amazing price and did everything I wanted for my special day. He went above and beyond helping me with the whole wedding planning, not just the DJ part of it. When my photographer fell through 2 days before the wedding, Matt was right there to save the day...the photographer was Roy. He took breathtaking photos, exceeding my expectations. Best photographer I have encountered. Matt always answered his phone or text messages when I had a question or needed something very fast. He is very selfless and made everything about me, the bride, for my special day. Every event in the future I need a DJ for I will be using Matt.
Matt and the team at Famous Entertainment did a wonderful job at my wedding. Their energy and enthusiasm was over the top. I definitely recommend them to others to hire for any party, and Jenny was the easiest, friendliest and most reliable planner I have ever worked with! Famous is the way to go!
Thank you Matt for doing such a great job with Paige's Sweet 16. The photo booth worked out great and the night was a hit. I also really enjoyed the personal touch you gave and that you were committed to making Paige feel like the princess she is. Without saying Matt was punctual, had everything set and was a steady professional throughout the whole process. I'm glad I decided to go with Famous Entertainment.
I think everyone wants to be able to say that their wedding was the best one they ever attended - but our guests also agreed! They absolutely killed it with the music selection - and even made sure to add in our eclectic requests (1920’s big band cocktail hour and punk tracks mixed in with top 40 dance hits and NYC club classics). We opted for the TV screens with candid photos, and a lighting show, and we’re glad we did Seriously, they were amazing from start to t
DJ Matt and MC Ray were amazing! Between the music and the MC our dance floor was always crowded. My wedding was a month ago and I still have people raving about how great the DJ and MC were. They def. made my party fun and something my guests, husband and I will talk about for years to come. Matt was amazing to work with, he was very patient with me and all my requests and did not blink an eye when I finally gave him my list of songs a few days before the wedding. I would def. recommend them and would hire them for all my future events!
I found Matt on Gigmasters looking for a photobooth for my wedding and ended up booking a package with him which included DJ and photobooth services. Matt helped me pre-plan all the details which made the day of run very smooth. He was great to work with, was always available to take my calls - we already booked him for our grandparents 85th birthdays next month! Professional services and equipment and highly recommended!
Matt was absolutely terrific . Played all the songs I requested. Very personable and kept the party going . He helped make our 50 th wedding anniversary a memory that will last forever. Thanks Matt
Katelyn S.
Everything was amazing! I honselty couldn't have asked for a better night I will always remember that night. The DJ was just amazing and I loved how the MC was able to get like everyone out on the dance floor. 10/10 would def come back!
Famous Entertainment was the BEST dj company to have for our wedding this past Saturday! Matt put so much care and thought into planning our party. He was very responsive while getting us ready for the event. He prepared a wonderful video montage of my husband and I. During the party, he had everyone up and dancing-- kids, adults, and elders alike! All of my guests had a wonderful time. Our wedding was incredibly fun, special, and memorable for everyone! Kuddos to Matt!
My daughter's Sweet 16 was a big success and it all was due to the great entertainment. They had everyone dancing and everyone had such a great time. The lighting that they used made the room look beautiful. There was no need to worry they took care of everything. Since I work in the catering business I see a lot and this was by far the best entertainment that I have seen. We were all so pleased.
We booked Matthew of Famous Entertainment for our wedding, and he was absolutely amazing.
Firstly, he was responsive throughout the time leading up to our wedding. He answered promptly to any and all of our inquiries; and made himself available over phone, text, and email.
Secondly, he provided invaluable feedback during the planning phase - we outlined a rough itinerary of the sequence of events during the ceremony and reception, and he provided recommendations and revisions, based on his previous experiences, that we hadn't even considered.
On the day of the event, he arrived at the very earliest time that we (bride and groom, guests, vendors) were allowed to be at the venue. He was already set up, dressed, and ready to review itinerary with the groom and venue's maître d' before the bride was dressed and made up.
We asked a very close family friend to be our Master of Ceremonies for the evening; and so, our MC was a bit of a neophyte (but very charmingly so). Matthew stepped up in a huge way here, coaching him through the night, offering tips and pointers, and filling in at spots where the MC felt uncomfortable leading the party. And he was an outstanding fill in MC during those spots - he was vibrant on the microphone, he led the crowd during room dances - in short, Matthew made sure our event stayed lively and high energy throughout.
And all throughout the reception, he coordinated seamlessly with the venue's maître d'; both of them did an outstanding job accommodating last minute adjustments to the reception itinerary, and I wanted to highlight Matthew's contribution here - between the two of them, the music, events, and food all flowed smoothly through the night.
Finally. His equipment worked perfectly - sound quality was crisp and filled the entire room, lights added great mood and ambiance. Matthew's music collection was exhaustive, accommodating all the songs we wanted throughout the night; and his music selection was well curated, encompassing several decades of musical eras and genres that brought elder and younger guests on the dance floor.
In short, we would gladly book Matthew again; and we would absolutely recommend him.

The party was awesome!!! Matt and his team were a ton of fun to work with thank you so much.
I just wanted to say that I hired Famous Entertainment for my wedding and I was simply blown away by the outstanding job that was done. DJ Matt was amazing, he was very professional without being to stuffy. He had all of the wedding guest up dancing the entire time . I will definitely hire Famous Entertainment for future parties.
Awesome experience. DJ Matt did an amazing job. Adults and kids alike had a great time. Highly recommend him
I absolutely can't explain how thankful I am for Matt & his team ! I would be lying if I said I didn't have anxiety when trying to find a DJ - they are probably the most crucial part of the wedding party! Matt sure delivered. He was energetic, fun and kept the dance floor packed. My only wish is that I had found him sooner, and spent less time searching. Go with your gut, famous entertainment rocked our party!!
We had an great time at my wedding thanks to Famous Entertainment. Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. The music was awesome.
