Mike Kane and Joe Albomonte
The DJ Insider Podcast
Two guys from the Midwest are here to chat about the complex nature of what it means to be a "Wedding DJ". We dive into the hard work we put into making a wedding as magical as possible, and the crazy experiences we have had along the way. Although every wedding plays out relatively the same, they are all unique in a countless number of ways.
