🚀 DANCE FROM HOME IS COMING BACK TOGETHER!🪩

What started as a way to keep music and community alive during lockdown has grown into a global family of DJs and music lovers.

Founded in 2020 by Chicago DJ Jeff Mabi, @dancefromhomedjs DanceFromHome (DFH) began as a coordinated livestream event, giving DJs their own time to shine and audiences a place to connect. What started as a one-day event quickly became a weekly digital DJ festival, connecting artists and listeners across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

The collective eventually expanded into nearly daily streams and TalkFromHome, a podcast spotlighting the people behind the music.

While the livestreams have ended, the connections never did. Five years later, the DFH family is reuniting where it all began: CHICAGO!

🎧 DFH REUNION 2026 — DAY 1

Featuring:
Chuck Righteous | Jillian X | Marquessa | Illusive | Alvin Ease B2B CJ Buckets

📅 Friday, October 23
🕘 9 PM – 2 AM
📍 Logan Eleven | 2230 N California Ave.

From dancing at home to dancing together again.

A moment for K’s dress 🤍
HER dress deserves its own post. The lace, the long sleeve, the up-do- truly everything about this custom Tom Sebastien gown. My favorite thing about it was how it totally transformed into different looks. It was basically three dresses in one: the veil unclipped to form a blusher, and the long-sleeve bolero came off to reveal a sweetheart neckline underneath. What more could you want! Watching a bride transform like that throughout the day was so mesmerizing and brilliant ✨

K + J’s take on Gatsby 🕯️🤍

Kaitlyn had a vision, and she executed it down to the last detail. Feathers, pearls, and candlelight everywhere you looked; a moody, true-romantic Gatsby world built right inside the InterContinental. And if you know me, you know I would move into this aesthetic permanently if they let me. She personally made the invitations, the signage, the menus, every piece of paper you touched that day. Florals stayed timeless, whites and soft greenery, letting the candlelight be the focal point of the room. Chef’s kiss lighting, if I say so myself. It even brought Kaitlyn to tears when she opened the doors.

The whole design was a replica of her Pinterest board, so what I’m hearing is I need to step up my moodboard game if it means results like this.

Stay put for more…

Let’s talk about 2016 ! First we’re excited to announce that this year our documentary comes out that will tell our entire story but until then, here’s some memories from our 2016 year !! It has been a blessing to have made it this far but more importantly to know that most of our originals are still around !

My only regret from this wedding was not getting the killer 2000s rom-com playlist that blared throughout the whole day. Imagine it as you flip through the 12 slides that barely do the vibes of Katy and Scottie justice.

Saturday felt like something out of a dream 🍂✨
The soft autumn light, the golden leaves, and two hearts promising forever — every frame overflowed with warmth and joy. There’s something magical about fall weddings, where love feels cozy, cinematic, and timeless.
