Matthew Reate

A DJ controller, drawn by hand

I’m a record collector who DJs weddings in New York, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley, about forty-five a year.

Mixes

Playlists

Cocktail hour: Roy Ayers, Curtis Mayfield, Gilberto Gil, Kokoroko.
Dinner: Otis Redding, Patrice Rushen, Sade, Steely Dan, LCD Soundsystem.
Dance: Earth, Wind & Fire, Donna Summer, New Order, Robin S, Peggy Gou.

Shop

Records I pulled from my own cabinet, one copy of each. They’re ungraded; I check each one before it ships from Morristown.

Booking

If you like my vibe of weird, give me a call and I’ll make your people dance their asses off. I’m booked exclusively through Non-Traditional Wedding DJs, so reach Ben there: 917-586-6753, ben@ntweddingdjs.com, or my NTW profile.

Voice

People ask me every day if I do voice-over. I do: narration first, plus spots, podcast intros and phone greetings. Here’s how it works.
