RESTAURANTS& LOUNGES.

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

TWO ROOMS,TWO IDENTITIES.

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:

≈50% Spanish, flamenco and Mediterranean music
≈25% Refined commercial Latin — elegant, never vulgar
≈25% Mediterranean Afro house with Mallorca–Ibiza nightlife energy

MEXICAN

PINK AGAVE

A celebration of Mexico’s sound, programmed as Latin open format:

· Classic salsa, merengue and cumbia
· Mexican music and big tropical pop
· Latin open format through peak hours

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

DIRECTION,THEN RESIDENCY.

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.
