Ryan at the Party

EDM with a disco soul. He shows up — the party ignites. Backyards, docks, birthdays, and the big annual bash.

The story

The 4th of July debut

It started at a huge annual Fourth-of-July waterfront party. One set on the dock as the sun went down — and the whole night turned.

Now it's a tradition. Ryan brings a sound that's pure celebration: EDM with a modern-disco twist — funky, retro, four-on-the-floor, built to make people move from golden hour straight through to the last dance.

The party isn't the party until Ryan's on the decks.

The sound

Disco soul, modern drop

Three moods, one night — engineered to keep every kind of crowd on their feet.

🌅

Golden Hour

Warm, groovy openers — nu-disco, funky house, feel-good basslines that pull people in as the sun drops.

🔥

Peak Night

The drops. Big EDM energy with a retro-disco shimmer, disco-ball light beams and hands in the air.

💫

Last Dance

Disco singalongs and crowd favorites to close it out — the kind of ending people talk about.

A taste of the sound

From the crates

Ryan builds every set live, in the moment — so this isn't the whole playbook. Just a taste of the heat in current rotation: the kind of tracks that fill a floor.

"DJ RAP makes our July 4th party so special every year. He takes so much time and attention with his mixes and has everybody on the dance floor all night. He also brings a light show that is totally awesome. Our party would not be the same without him."

— Garlyn Rinaldo

"This DJ was amazing! I'm not usually much of a dancer, but as soon as he started spinning I couldn't even help myself — I pulled out moves I didn't even know I had! A seamless blend of songs in a perfectly curated playlist had everyone enjoying the night. I never felt like the music got stale. He makes sure everyone is having fun — young, old, and in between. Would highly recommend for any event."

— Russ Maltese
