These are my favorite pics from this past week filled with art, creativity, friends, and connection.

The original Masons, from the Caribbean islands to Kings Island. 39 years strong! I love getting them out to experience new things in the city.

Had a blast as always spinning at @somerset.otr
Appreciate their team for providing the space to let me spin whatever the hell pops into my brain for 4 hours!

Thank you to everyone who braved the humidity and eventual downpour to come dance and vibe with ya boy!

Summer is OFFICIALLY over.

And a big shout out to my Saiyan brother @file.47_ for the 🔥 @mo.dem_ gear.

The robots will know I'm on their side once they take over.

Stay tuned for more music at new locations this Fall! If you missed out this night, check out the full mix on SoundCloud.

Night Strobe x Denzil Forrester - 1985

My favorite piece from FORECAST FORM: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s–Today.

Denzil Forrester is a Grenadian-born British artist who created this series while studying art in London in the ’80s.

While out clubbing, he would sketch moments from the reggae and dub scenes, then take those sketches back to his studio and turn them into paintings.

Now, I’m not that old (though nearing UNC status), but this piece reminds me of when I first started partying/clubbing. Lights, bodies, and sounds blurred together. Strangers became acquaintances—and sometimes more.

The best thing about this piece? Not a phone in sight.

Or a DJ, for that matter.

It’s all about the moves, the grooves, and the people.

That’s the essence I hope to create every time I DJ.

I see myself in the way Forrester has described DJs: as a Witch Doctor, there to unify people through spirit and sound.

I’ve been growing as a selector and music curator, and I’m excited to keep creating environments where people can let go and be free.

Don’t be afraid. You’re in good hands with @jvstinianmusic .

See y’all Saturday at @somerset.otr by @jvstinianm

Some Sunday Bob Marley on this beautifully peaceful afternoon

Buffalo Soldier - the name Indigenous groups gave to Black American soldiers fighting in the mid to late 19th century

Fighting for a country they did not choose be in against an enemy that was not there's. Sounds familiar? Like all timeless music, the meaning grows stronger with age.

Off the posthumous album, "Confrontation".

Now more than ever we need music with meaning. Peace, love, and wisdom to all!

Throwing it back to the first wedding I DJ'd... MY OWN!

Now I know what you're thinking... How on Earth does one DJ their own wedding?

I curated a playlist and also pre-recorded part of a DJ set comprised of Kelly and I's favorite love songs, party songs, and some deep cuts that perfectly fit our relationship.

I set aside 30 minutes where I did a special vinyl tribute to the love of my life. Serenading her with Willie Hutch, Norman Connors, EWF, and more.

Then I let the playlist do the rest so we could enjoy our special day and dance with friends and family.

🫶🏾🥂💍🤵🏾👰🏻‍♀️🍾💃🏻🕺🏾🪩

I aim to bring this level of attention to detail and curation to your special day.

Need a last minute DJ for your 2026 wedding? Planning ahead for 2027/2028? I'd love to curate the perfect sound for your wedding day.

Check out my website to inquire and share some details about your dream wedding experience!

Missing my island and my people today!

Barbados (the rock) is my favorite place on the planet. Simplicity and peace on an island less than 30 miles long and full (less than 280k people) of lanky Bajans like myself.

So happy to finally take K here.

Sun kissed us.
Gran blessed us.
Ocean cleansed us.
Rum mashed us up.
And di riddim moved us.

Sorry if I'm late to stuff this summer. I'm on island time. taken in Barbados, Caribbean by @jvstinianm
