DJs

Twenty years on the decks. Still just getting started.

I’m DJ Kelly Kellz — aka The Vibe Curator — and I’ve been creating unforgettable moments since 2005. Open-format is my lane, which means R&B, Hip Hop, Top 40, Dancehall, Afrobeats, and whatever the room is asking for. Because that’s the thing about me: I read the room. Every time.

For me, DJing has never just been about playing songs. It’s about creating a feeling. A memory. A space where you can fully let go.

Jersey girl by roots, DMV by way of the last decade, and I’ve taken my Northeast energy and love for music nationwide and internationally, from Jamaica to Aruba to the Cayman Islands to the Bahamas.

Earlybirds Club holds a special place in my rotation. Not because it’s a party — because it’s a movement. A space where women come to dance, sing, and exist without reservation. I show up for that every single time.

Off the decks? You’ll find me powerlifting, traveling, dancing, or deep in a true crime rabbit hole.

The vibe doesn’t curate itself. Good thing I do.

I’m Caitlyn O’Brien — musician, producer, and DJ based in Boston, operating under my creative umbrella Kit Orion.

For over a decade, I’ve played in bands, worked as a session musician, fronted my own original psychedelic pop project, and DJed everything from weddings, parties and events throughout New England. The through line in all of it has always been community, connection, and my love of music.

Behind the decks, I’m known for killer transitions and sets that travel across time, space, and genre. I aim to create experiences that feel intentional, connected, and alive from the first track to the last.

Being part of the Earlybirds community in both Boston and Providence is something I’m especially grateful for—it’s truly one of my favorite spaces to DJ.

One name. Many worlds. All music.

Some things are just meant to be.

It started with my cousin Susie cornering me at Christmas dinner in 2023. “Can you DJ my party?” The answer probably should’ve been no — I had been retired for five years after all, but I said yes anyway. And I’m really glad I did!

From Party #1 to Party #100, the mission has never changed: show up, show out, and give the people what they need. I’m not stopping until we hit #1,000 and way beyond that.

Hip Hop is always home base for me, but the vibe leads. R&B, New Wave, House, Latin, Pop — I don’t discriminate. The dancefloor tells me what it needs and I listen.

We’ve taken this thing everywhere — Chicago (home), Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Boston, Philly, New York, DC, LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Toronto. Coast to coast and across the border. And we’re just getting started.

As long as women are out here looking for a safe space to move, sweat, and just feel like themselves — I’m here for it! See you on the dance floor!

Twenty years in the making. Still leveling up.

I’m Sandra Suave, and my journey to the decks didn’t start with a single moment. It started with years of paying attention.

In 2004, I co-founded B.BLYSS! Productions, helping build a new kind of nightlife in Chicago — high quality, cultured, intentional. As music coordinator, I spent years studying and learning from some of the most versatile DJs in the city. I wasn’t just watching. I was absorbing everything.

When I was ready, I committed fully — enrolled at Scratch DJ Academy, graduated, and by 2011 what started as a hobby became a professional career.

Since then I’ve been a resident DJ on radio shows including Vocalo Radio Chicago and Mixit Radio Texas. I spent seven years as a resident DJ on the internationally known Festival At Sea Cruise aboard Carnival and Celebrity Cruise Lines. I’ve held residencies and bookings at exclusive venues, festivals, and corporate events across Chicago and beyond.

My range is my superpower. No matter the event, no matter the crowd, I find the sound that fits, and I make it move.

Chicago is home base. But the music takes me everywhere.

The journey started in 2004. Watch what happens next.

Every genre. Every era. Every room.

I’m Banga, international open-format DJ, and I don’t do predictable.

My sets travel. Hip-hop, house, Latin, Afro, Jersey club, baile funk, and whatever else the moment is calling for. I build on versatility, instinct, and a healthy love for keeping people on their toes. You never quite know where the night is going — and that’s exactly the point.

Beyond the decks, I created Banga Bash, a party series built on culture, community, and music that pushes forward. Because a great night is never just about the songs. It’s about the experience, the people, and the energy that lingers long after the music stops.

From intimate lounges to packed stages, I bring a global sound with a identity that’s distinctly my own. Every room gets the full version — no halfhearted sets, no autopilot.
