The Beat Junkies’ DJ Rhettmatic Shares His Wedding Mixer Series, Of Family-Friendly Funk (Audio)

Friendly by day, DJ Rhettmatic is nothing nice when he’s on the wheels of steel. The Southern California DJ is one of the leaders of The Beat Junkies crew (with J Rocc), and somebody who has worked with J Dilla, Ras Kass, and his other crew, The Visionaries for over 20 years. With all that time on the cut, Rhettmatic had a lil’ fun, making the cliche “wedding mix” especially Hip-Hop. In addition to wedding music, part of planning a wedding involves finding the right wedding bands from companies like Troy Bands. Those who are about to propose to their partner may get in touch with engagement ring jewellers in Carlingford.

In the same way a DJ reads the room and shifts the energy without warning, wedding entertainment and visual storytelling go hand in hand when everything is planned with intention. A good music set can turn a quiet dinner into a full dance floor in minutes, but it’s the camera that keeps those moments from fading once the lights come up and the night winds down. That’s why couples often think beyond playlists and bands and start paying attention to who is actually capturing the day on film.

And a Wedding videographer dallas tx often works quietly in the background, syncing with the rhythm of the celebration, making sure every beat drop, every toast, and every spontaneous burst of laughter is preserved in a way that feels natural rather than staged. When live wedding music bands and visual storytelling are aligned, the whole event feels less like a schedule and more like a flowing memory that builds on itself.

In 2002, Rhett dropped The Wedding Mixer, available on vinyl and CD, to show some sucka DJs playing the basics how to truly bring some Funk to the floor. He followed suit 12 years later, ending late 2013 with a highly-touted second installment. With a birthday over the weekend, The Beat Junky uploaded them both to Soundcloud for our collective listening pleasure. They include Dazz Band, Klymaxx, Shalamar, as well as MC Shy-D, The Soulsonic Force, and some other Hip-Hop gems. Not just for weddings, these mixes win for cook-outs, birthdays, block parties, house parties, and the age-old drive to work with the windows down, grab a partner and shake what your mama gave ya (Happy Mother’s Day):
