NO COMPUTERS USED!!!!! This is my live 2 hour set from Afterlife in New Haven CT. The set was played on Saturday August 17, 2013, and we had a blast at the event. As you will be able to tell from the set, I was playing a little of everything for the crowd. With sounds ranging from harder, more driving music, to upbeat and melodic vocals, there was not a shortage of styles and sounds for everyone there. Judging by the amount of people who were tearing up the dancefloor, they were having a pretty good time!

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT FOR MY EVENT!!! I really appreciated the love and support you showed me while I was there!!!!! There is still time to register to win the trip to Dubai being given away courtesy of World Top DJs. Just go to www.worldtopdjs.com and register for your profile using the special code of DJEXPO. One winner will be chosen randomly to attend a WTD event as either an attendee or to DJ.

Drager Live@Afterlife New Haven CT August 17 2013

NO COMPUTERS USED!!!!!! FINALLY, after getting my CDJs back from the shop, I bring you my November 2013 mix. Starting out with some more peak hour progressive,  and some current play remixes, then moving into vocal progressive, you get some of everything you have been asking me to put into a mix for you. 

The last mix I put up in August has had more than 4000 unique plays, and I can't thank you all enough for that. It means the world to me to know that people in close to 100 countries around the world are listening to my music, and enjoying it.

For booking inquiries, please send me an email to info@djdrager.com and I will reply as soon as I receive it. 

Drager-November 2013 Mix

NO COMPUTERS USED!!!!! I want to start off by apologizing for the long gap since I did my last mix in November. I had some things come up, and needed to take a break for awhile to get them sorted. But now, I PROMISE I will make it up to you with this set. This was recorded live in Monterrey Mexico on March 22, 2014. The house was packed with 2,500 people, and the crowd was awesome!!!!!

You will get everything in this mix from peak hour progressive house, to some Top 40 remixes that you will all be able to sing to. For those of you who have been asking to hear me live, this is the next best thing. So sit back and enjoy 2 hours of music exactly the way it came out of the speakers onto the dancefloor........

If you are interested in booking me to come spin your venue, please feel free to drop me a line to info@djdrager.com. 

Drager-Live In Monterrey Mexico March 22 2014

NO COMPUTERS USED!!! I want to start off by apologizing for such a long break between mixes. So much has been going on, and I am waiting on spinal surgery. I'm not trying to make excuses, but mixing is painful right now.

With that being said, in this mix you will get everything from flowing vocals to bigroom bangers, and some driving tunes thrown in for good measure. As usual, there is something for everyone in this mix.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season, and if you are interested in a booking for your club, beach, or event, you can email me at info@djdrager.com


Drager-2014 December Mix

ONLY VINYL USED!!!!!! This is something different than I normally do. I took out my vinyl from the early 90s (by request), and put together a mix of tracks from my NYC club days. All the tracks are 20-25 years old, and are the history of dance music when it was in it's infancy. For those of you who were not there to experience it, I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the past. For those of you who were there, I hope this is a trip down memory lane!!!!

I do apologize for some of the lower levels, popping, cracking, and hiss on this mix. But that is what analog sound is all about, and why we loved the sound of it so much.  

For booking inquiries, please drop me an email to info@djdrager.com and put BOOKING in the subject line. 

Drager - Feb 2015 Retro Mix

NO COMPUTERS USED!!!!! This was a fun mix to do, and really special one for me. This was recorded live, and you get everything from vocal to bigroom to some driving tracks. It is CD length, and perfect to listen to in the car, or anywhere you go!!
 
This was very special for me, since I was able to put this event together so a friend could see me spin live for the first time. I really do hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed spinning it!!

Drager-Live At Rize 7 Feb 2015

NO COMPUTERS USED!!! I apologize for being out of the loop for so long. So much has gone on the past year, culminating in spinal surgery to my neck.

Drager Live @ From Florida With Love June 15 2013

NO COMPUTERS USED IN ANY DJ SET!!!!!!

Top 100 Ranked DJ for 2009, 2010, & 2011, 2012

Vinyl Music Festival Founder & Executive Director

Official Kikwear DJ & Global Brand Ambassador for the Kikwear line of products!

As a DJ, Drager's abilities have been described in many ways. But Aggressive, Innovative, and Cutting Edge are the 3 best ways to describe Drager’s style. After 20+ years in the music industry, Drager has made a name for himself by remaining ahead of the game in not only his choice of music, but with the way he plays it as well. With long flowing mixes that seamlessly blend one track into the next, Drager has the ability to take control of the dance floor, and to energize the crowd that is on it. 

Drager got his start in Memphis, TN where he had a friend who was a mobile DJ. On weekends, when his friend was not playing gigs, he would go over and play on the turntables for fun. Drager took to them like a natural.

In 1992, he left Memphis for the lights of NYC. Shortly after arriving, Drager got his big break when the DJ at a club one night walked out after an altercation with the owner. Being in the right place at the right time, they asked him if he could play for the night. With only 40 pieces of wax, Drager kept the floor packed from 10pm until 3am. At that point, he was asked to spin at some of the largest clubs in NYC such as Danceteria, Palladium, China Club, and the freshly minted Webster Hall.
During this time the labels started taking notice of him, and he started receiving promo sponsorships from record labels such as ZYX, Strictly Rhythm, Logic, FFRR, Interhit, and others. After leaving NYC and heading to Boston, Drager spun at The Roxy on several occasions, as well as traveling to Washington DC to play at the Vault and the Bank. During this time, Drager headed back to NYC on a regular basis to continue his assault on the NYC Club Scene. After living in Boston, Drager headed back to NYC, and was active in the club scene in Manhattan and on Long Island. Drager spun with a upcoming DJ named Skribble on Long Island for about a year, and then left New York to head to Florida.

In Key West, Drager spun what few clubs were available, and many underground raves that took place. After leaving Key West and heading to Denver while his fiance was ill with cancer, he spun at several clubs in downtown Denver, and then headed to Las Vegas and California at the end of 2000. In Vegas, Drager spun at such clubs as RA, Baby’s, House of Blues, and other off Strip Vegas events.
His style of mixing is unique, and he has a way of keeping the floor pounding by his choices in music. Drager is one of the few DJs out there that is still considered a “pure DJ” in his preferred use of vinyl and CDs, and not computer based programs. In fact., he REFUSES to touch any computer based mixing programs, calling them “new school.” In December 2006, Drager took the next step into production, with the release of his first track “BANGING!!” which sat atop the Exile UK charts for 3 weeks at #1.

Drager is the founder and executive director for the Vinyl Music Festival, an annual electronic music festival in Sarasota, Florida that started in 2009. Since it's inception, it has grown dramatically, and is now the largest electronic music festival on the Gulf Coast of the United States.  And to top off all of these achievements, Drager has been consistently ranked in the Top 20 DJs overall in the United States year after year.
