DJ Press Play

Sounds By Santes · Rhode Island

Behind every Sounds By Santes event is one person: Joey Santes — known across New England dance floors as DJ Press Play. With 15+ years behind the decks, Joey has the rare combination of deep musical instinct and the kind of event-floor discipline that only comes from experience.

After years mastering every format of live event — from intimate private dinners to high-profile corporate productions — the return to the market is intentional. No nightclubs. No bar gigs. Only polished corporate engagements and elegantly produced weddings where the music is as carefully considered as the venue itself.

You'll hear the difference. Your guests will feel it. And your event coordinator won't have to chase anyone down — because DJ Press Play shows up early, dresses sharp, and executes without being asked twice.

Client Reviews

Trusted by Real Clients

From weddings to corporate events — here's what people are saying.

"DJ Press Play was incredibly responsive from our first conversation and stayed that way through the entire planning process. He genuinely cared about what we wanted and made sure every detail felt right for us. On the day of our wedding, his energy kept everyone dancing the whole night — we literally didn't want to leave the dance floor. His song selection and mixing were flawless, and he read the room perfectly. We've watched him work corporate events too, and each one gets better than the last."
