SERVICES · 03
Music direction and resident DJ programs for restaurants, lounges, hotels and members’ clubs. Not one-off bookings — a sound identity designed for the concept, then performed and protected, service after service.
BOOKING & AVAILABILITY ↗CASE STUDY — VIRGIN VOYAGES
Elvis defined the music identity for Virgin Voyages — the #1-rated cruise line, sailing roughly 500,000 guests a year — and authored the DJ creative direction and music programming for both of its DJ-driven restaurants.
SPANISH · MEDITERRANEAN
ROJO
An elegant Mediterranean room, programmed to a precise blend:
MEXICAN
PINK AGAVE
A celebration of Mexico’s sound, programmed as Latin open format:
The philosophy is the same in both rooms: the music is the concept’s voice — defined in writing, programmed to the hour and consistent no matter who is behind the decks.
RESIDENCIES & VENUES
STK has been a long-running DJ relationship — the kind of program where the room’s sound is owned, not rented. The venue history behind it runs through W Hotels, Mondrian, Delano and Soho House.
Engagements are structured as music direction plus a resident DJ program: define the identity, write the programming standards, hold the standard across every service. It is the difference between booking a DJ and owning a sound.
PROGRAMS — FAQ
HOW IT WORKS.
What is a resident DJ program?
A standing engagement rather than a one-off booking: the venue’s music identity is defined first, programming standards are written down, and the program is performed on a recurring schedule so the sound stays consistent — no matter the night.
Can you define a music identity for a new concept?
Yes. That is how both Virgin Voyages restaurant programs were built: concept and cuisine first, then a written music direction that translates them hour by hour.
Do you direct other DJs?
Yes. Creative direction can cover programming standards and direction for a venue’s wider DJ roster — as it does aboard Virgin Voyages and did for DJs across FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities.
Do you take single-night bookings?
Yes. One-off restaurant and lounge dates run alongside ongoing programs — STK has been a long-running relationship rather than a single booking.
How does the music change across a night?
Deliberately. Programming moves from first covers and dinner through peak hours without breaking the identity of the room — the energy rises, the concept stays.
Can you advise on our sound system?
Yes. Elvis is a professional audio engineer and can assess a room, work with the existing system or specify what the space actually needs.
