🎧 T8: A Sonic Architect with Global Reach

 

With over two decades behind the decks, T8 has carved out a soundscape that’s unmistakably his own. From underground basements to rooftop parties, international festivals to exclusive industry events, his sets are a masterclass in musical storytelling. One listen is all it takes to recognize the depth of his roots, the precision of his transitions, and the sheer firepower of his skills.

T8’s genre-bending sets span the full spectrum: Deep, Tech, Future, Big Room, and Progressive House, plus Pop, Hip Hop, Old School, Rock, Alternative, Electronic, Reggae, Dancehall, and decades of throwbacks from the 70s to the 2010s. His musical direction is never static — it’s a dynamic fusion of personal taste, crowd energy, and venue vibe. Expect the unexpected: underground vocals, infectious beats, and a vibe that keeps dance floors alive.

 

📍 Based in Hoboken, NJ, T8 is a fixture in NYC’s nightlife and a regular on the East Coast and European circuits. Whether it’s a high-octane club, a sun-drenched pool party, or a sleek rooftop soirée, he brings the heat.

 

🎶 Beyond the booth, T8 is a seasoned Music Industry Exec with deep ties to Atlantic Records, Polygram, Sony Music, Caroline Records, and EMI Music. His insider status makes him the go-to DJ for elite events — album launches, fashion shows, film premieres, brand activations, and more. He’s collaborated with top-tier names like Budweiser, Red Bull, La Liga, Capitol Records, Allure Magazine, Bloomingdale’s, L’Oréal, Z100, Virgin Records, Harrah’s, Astralwerks, and McCann, to name a few.

 

🔥 Booking T8 isn’t just hiring a DJ — it’s securing a vibe, a journey, and a guaranteed unforgettable experience.

“Enjoy the journey, keep your hands up…”
