DJ Jay Insult

Jersey Shore-based vinyl DJ with 20 years experience at many different kinds of events, from nights at punk rock dive bars to elegant & beautiful alternative weddings.

With a large & ever-expanding record collection, I am able to tailor an event to incorporate a number of different genres & moods, but I specialize most in new wave, punk, goth/post-punk, and related sounds, including alternative/indie rock, ska/reggae, surf/garage, classic soul, and girl groups.

I can play familiar classics that everybody knows, dig deep into niche underground favorites, or strike the perfect balance between the two.

Especially for wedding couples: If you are looking for someone to press play on a standard playlist of up to the minute top 40 or the same music you hear at every wedding, then I would respectfully encourage you to look elsewhere. What I play is not necessarily for everybody. But if you are of an alternative persuasion and want the music to reflect that, I am confident that I am the DJ you've been looking for, because I am one of you! I have been immersed in underground music since the early 90s, and I have a deep understanding of and passion for it.

People for whom alternative music & culture are a crucial part of their lives that have entrusted me with the soundtrack to their special day include internationally known touring musicians, working visuals artists, and noted indie wrestlers.

I am 1000% committed to making your wedding entirely reflective of YOU as a couple and as individuals, and making certain that the tone set by your wedding soundtrack is everything you've ever imagined for the biggest and best party you are ever likely to throw. AND I am just as committed to making sure I am affordable for everyone without placing undue stress on your budget. I come from the era of $5 DIY basement shows. I guarantee you will pay less for me than for a generic corporate wedding industrial complex DJ who plays the same old crap, WHILE I work 10x as hard to make sure everything is hand-picked with you specifically in mind. I believe my standard pricing reflects this, but if you are on an even tighter budget, let's talk! You deserve to have the time of your life no matter what you can afford.

And of course, this SHOULD go without saying but these days it does need to be said: I am completely LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all interested parties without any discrimination based on race/ethnicity, immigration status/national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, or any other factors. But I won't play jam bands.
