It takes more than hitting play to keep a dance floor alive. Here is a look at the technical setup and prep work that goes into every gig.

Arriving early to the venue for a sound check is a crucial part of my process. It guarantees that the audio is perfect before the first guest arrives.

About Behind The Scenes

You don’t see the hour I spend at the venue before the guests arrive. My process is strictly 'no jugaad'—I handle the sound check personally, calibrating my Pioneer gear to the room’s specific acoustics and mapping my visuals to the venue's LED wall so there is zero glitching when the party starts.

Professional Pioneer gear for every event. — Approved by the tribe

I’m Mervin. I don't believe in just standing behind a console and pressing play. I’m the one on the mic making noise, checking the sound systems myself, and making sure your dance floor never goes quiet.
