"Hillel's Flexibility is only overshadowed by his keen ear for music and providing what the audience wants moment by moment."
Brian Fehd - Lincoln Center Jazz
in America)
"I have known Hillel for many years as an amazing brilliant performer, but first discovered his talent as a dj attending a wedding. I was knocked out...mostly becuase I couldnt stop dancing!! The feeling that he created in the room was one of celebration, magic, love. I have since hired him for parties and perfoemances with varius bands.
Honestly Hillel, like a great actor, wants to know the story with your event, the
feeling that needs to be evoked and then he delivers far beyond your expectations. Besides mastering the technique of djing, he brings his unique brand of human celebration, love of music, soul, and his big heart. He is always number one on my list as a refferal for any situation."
Everett Bradley - Singer / percussionist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, Bon Jovi, Seal)
"dj Hillel? The answer is an emphatic yes! Hands down one of my favorite dj's ever. A vast knowledge of how music inspires people so he can move the crowd, enable the chill or take you back to the groove. I call dj Hillel every time wheather I'm hosting a festival, house party or theatrical event...and every time Hillel weaves a path to an even more joyous echelon."
Russell G. Jones - Award winning Actor, Director, Collaborator
"His preparation, timing and attention to detail were impeccable. He creatively went above and beyond our expectations for the event!"
Brad Hill - Lucky Strike Soho, NYC
"I was invited to a Film Festival in New York. When i enter the theater, the music met you at the door. I was introduced to the music of Hillel. I was in the planing stage of a birthday milstone. If I knew nothing else, in that moment, I knew he was someone I wanted to share with my friends.amd family at the special event. He required that we meet a few times befiore, so he could undersatnd the musci...my music...the musci of the night! We met, he capetured the mood of each decade I lived! We celebrated loudly , and the people are still calling his name."

"My wife and I both work in the entertainment business as lighting and production designers. For our wedding, we wanted to make sure that the music carried the evening in a way that would transcend what is normally experienced at a wedding. Our invite list included many friends and associates from the industry including artists from “Blue Man Group”, “My Morning Jacket”, “Flight of the Conchords” and “Matisyahu” to name a few. To say that the bar was set high is an understatement. A band would not suffice as we already had Grammy nominated musicians as our guests. With DJ’s, it’s so hard to get the right fit. We had the good fortune of bringing DJ Hillel into the mix. Right from the start it was obvious that we made the right choice. Not only did he meet our expectations, he blew them out of the water. His understanding of music, energy and celebration combined with a broad creative background in performance made for an unbelievable collaborator. And that’s really how we considered him – as a collaborator in making the most important night of our lives memorable beyond belief. He worked with us for several months in order to understand
our aesthetic and musical tastes. Each time we would meet he would have ideas that honed in more and more with what we wanted. It wasn’t just about a song list – any computor will do that. It was about about understanding the mood and emotion of each part of the event and supporting these parts with the right music. For the Horah (traditional jewish wedding dance) we had an idea for a “Hava Nagilah” mashup of sorts. DJ Hillel took this to a level beyond what we ever dreamed possible. He composed a horah track that incorporated Jewish folk and dance music from every imaginable musical genre and location. He integrated one track to the next seamlessly, each time taking the energy to a higher and higher level. The horah lasted close to 30 minutes and was one of the
most memorable parts of the whole night. What I’m trying to convey here is that DJ Hillel is the real deal – not your run of the mill DJ. He truly loves music and takes the time to develop a deep understanding of the needs of the event. He recognizes that a DJ is creating an actual “score” for an event and, as such, connects himself at a deep level to what that really means. I only wish that we could have another wedding just to have the pleasure of DJ Hillel mixing the tracks!"
Marc Janowitz - pro lighting space
"DJ Hillel is THE person to bring the heart and soul to any event. He is an artist who takes immense pride in his work. As executive Director of a non-profit, music at our major events such as Paul Rudds annual Bowling Benifit, sets the tone and vibe for our guests and doners. Once Hillel is on the board, we can focus our energies on all other aspects or our events and never look back. And on a personal note, I also hired DJ Hillel to rock my own wedding reception, and just like my fundraising events, I could focus my energy and planning on other aspects knowing 1000% that the music was covered. Hillel is the professional you want on your team without a doubt."
Noah Corman - Executive Director S.A.Y. (Stuttering Association For The Young)
"DJ Hillel expertly mixed an eclectic playlist. He left my guests raving and in a celebratory mood all night. He did a terrific job of anticipating what my guests wanted to hear and was a joy to collaborate with."
Karim Raoul- Raouls Restaurant Owner NYC
"Hillel created the right eclectic mix for our occasion. Lighter-softer music for the VIP hour, and upbeat dance music for the main affair. DJ Hillel Understands his audience and caters to their interests and tastes. All throughout the night guests commented on the great music and feel of the evening."
David Meltzer - CEO Sports 1 Marketing
"DJ Hillel adds so much to our events. I truly appreciate his dedication to what we do, his incredible talent and his ability to share in the vision during the planning stages of our events. With Hillel, anything is possible. From our big casino nights, to our Yacht on the Hudson, to our event with Ferrari, Hillel is a true collaborator...and he absolutely rocks it! Sky is the limit with DJ Hillel. He is a special kind of cat."
