🎶🔥 The Top 25 of 2025 is here—and we’ve got TWO fire mixes to keep the vibes going into the new year!

💃 Latin Edition: Cumbia, reggaeton, mambo, dembow, and corridos to keep you moving.

🎤 Pop Edition: Hip hop, pop, and EDM hits that brought the heat all year long.

This year was HUGE for the disco revival, with artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan bringing back the groove.

It was also a hot year for Karol G, reggaeton, and the rise of regional Mexican music—proving Latin beats dominated 2024!🔥

DJ Persist is all about keeping it fresh. These mixes showcase not only the top songs of the year but also my mixing ability and deep knowledge of current music trends. Perfect for clients looking to bring the ultimate vibes to their events! 🎧

🎶✨ Joe & Kim’s wedding was a masterpiece from start to finish, and DJ Persist brought the vibes every step of the way!

💒 We kicked off the celebration with full ceremony service, featuring pre-ceremony music to set the tone and a seamless setup that included a satellite speaker for the cocktail hour playlist in another room.

💃 Then it was onto the main event! Our fully lit facades (not just basic uplights—we’re talking next-level glow) set the stage for a packed dancefloor all night long. From 60s-70s classics to early 2000s hip-hop bangers, the energy never stopped!

Let’s see those engagement rings ladies! 💍

I know some of you got the best Xmas gift that one can ask for! Now it’s time to plan your wedding! Outside of booking your venue, your DJ is probably next on your priority list!

Check out some tips on what to look for!

Music sets the rhythm of our memories, especially at weddings. 🎶💖 But when it comes to your ‘must play’ list, here’s a tip: Keep it minimal. Here’s why:

While we all have songs that hold special meaning in our hearts, the magic of a wedding party lies in its spontaneity and diversity. Your guests represent a beautiful mix of ages, backgrounds, and music tastes. And trust me, there’s nothing like seeing your grandma groove to a current hit or your friends slow-dancing to a timeless classic.

A shorter ‘must play’ list gives your DJ or band the flexibility to read the room, set the mood, and keep the dance floor full. They’re pros at what they do, so trust them to strike the right balance between your favorite tunes and crowd-pleasers.

So, by all means, include those songs that tell your love story or get you on the dance floor no matter what. But also leave some room for unexpected moments and musical surprises. Because sometimes, the best memories are made when you’re dancing to a song you didn’t even know you loved.
