  • Tom C.

    DJ

    My love for music began with my first cassette tape: Janet Jackson’s 1989 career-defining concept album, Rhythm Nation 1814. To say that album was “influential” barely scratches the surface—it was my constant companion. I’d bring it to school and dance my heart out in the cafeteria before and after class. Back then, I was convinced I was destined to be a professional dancer. 

    Now, as a DJ with 10 years of experience in the Hudson Valley, I specialize in spinning vintage vinyl. Equipped with two turntables, a powerful sound system, and a library full of soul, funk, disco, and contemporary dance hits, I’m delighted to join Get Down, Upstate. I can’t wait to curate the perfect soundtrack for your wedding or event.

  • Ali G.

    DJ

    Ever since the tender age of 16, Ali Gruber has been obsessively assembling a vast and eclectic record collection through her affinity for thrifting and her weakness for the elusive and beloved record shop.  After moving to a small town in the Hudson Valley in 2004 where nightlife was frustratingly absent, she decided to take matters into her own hands and started throwing and DJing her own house parties with nothing but two ancient turntables and an old PA. When her friends started getting married, she saw a real void in the local wedding industry, where vinyl DJs were quickly going extinct. Armed with an arsenal of vintage analog audio equipment, a thoughtfully curated record collection, and a soft spot for sweaty dance parties, Ali's now a veteran— DJing weddings and community events throughout the HV and beyond for over ten years and counting.
