Each week, we feature music recommendations from Scratch Weddings, the nation's leader with the best wedding DJs at affordable prices. This week's post comes from DJ NME, who has been DJing for over a decade and can often be found in the hottest nightspots in NYC, Miami, and LA. As a music taste-maker, he's frequently hired by discerning clients such as Ralph Lauren, Pepsi, Levi's and Saks Fifth Ave. DJ NME always strives to tell a story with the music, whether that's the excitement of a couple's wedding night, or the experience of a high-profile event. "Reading any crowd is like playing a game of catch. If I throw them the ball and they throw it back, then I know they want more. If they don't, then I have to find a better ball.”
