June bookings, and summer parties 🌈
I’m Rachel Diaz — a DJ, dancer, and lifelong music head with 15+ years of experience playing across NYC nightlife, community spaces, and private events. I’ve held residencies at Madame X and Nana, and hosted a monthly music + spoken word night in the East Village.
I specialize in open-format sets that blend:
disco - house - latin - pop - r&b - funk - afrobeat - freestyle - hip hop - jazz - broken beat - soul - funk
My style is very much about reading the room and building energy — whether you need:
• warm, feel-good cocktail vibes
• sexy, upbeat dance energy
• open format
As a dancer, I DJ with movement in mind — pacing, rhythm, and flow that keeps people engaged and connected.
Deeply rooted in NYC queer nightlife culture and inspired by spaces like Paradise Garage and Sound Factory. I bring that same sense of freedom, joy, and musical journey to every set.
I didn’t just study NYC nightlife — I lived it then and now!
Professional, reliable, easy to work with. Comfortable on the mic if needed.
