FIVE STARS all the way!! This is the second time hiring HOT MIX and this particular DJ. Smokin Scott Silz is the BEST!! Back by popular demand we we're lucky enough to secure Scott for our holiday party. Leading up to our event, many guests asked if we were going to have the same DJ as last year. When I confirmed, the response was all positive. Music will make or break the success of the party. Our guests stayed on the dance floor all night long. The vibe was enhanced perfectly by the music as the night went along. Cool and loungey as guests arrived and gradually moving into fun mixes and elevated energy. I loved the music selection and the creative mixes DJ Scott created. Our DJ arrived early, his professional equipment ready. His arrival, set up, talent and take down were all perfection! I will never hire anyone else!! If you want fantastic entertainment for your event, DJ Smokin Scott Silz at Hot Mix Entertainment is the only choice!! read more

If your looking for an entertainer that brings the party vibe, look no further! Scott is your guy!!! He was great to work with when collaborating on ideas for our day from start to finish. He is extremely professional and was so much fun with every meeting! So very helpful with the planning process and incredibly thorough in getting to know your musical tastes to create just the right vibe for your day. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire evening and kept the party going until the very last minute. Not only was Scott our DJ & MC but also provided a great photo booth with tons of fun signage props. We even opted for the photo booth guest book keepsake which we have looked at several times since our wedding! We also chose the uplighting offered by Scott that was placed throughout the event space which really enhanced the ambiance of the room! Overall, it was an absolute honor having Scott "Smokin" Silz a Chicago house music pioneer and legend spin on our wedding day. He was certainly a highlight for us and our guests. He definitely made it a night we will always remember! read more

Scott was an absolute pleasure to work with and was the key to making our day perfect. He went above and beyond to make sure we had all of the equipment to make our ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. He kept the entire day on schedule and we had the dance party of our lives at the reception! We have received endless compliments on the service he provided us. After attending countless weddings, he is by far the best DJ that we've experienced. Thanks so much, Scott! Matt & Steph Wiater read more

I'm usually not the type of person to write a review but I had to make sure I did it this time. I have been to many house parties/picnics but my experience on July 19th was simply amazing. Scott Smokin' Silz put together an all star DJ ensemble. Hanging in the lounge with him and his wife was so nice. They are the most down to earth people that I have met in the industry. I am looking forward to your next event to enjoy some great music outstanding ambiance and plenty of dancing! Thanks read more

When I first contacted HOT MIX, I was on their website and pulled up the Chat Live feature which I really liked. Scott answered right away and told me he'd call tomorrow. He did call and we talked about everything which was great and he gave me some instructions which I followed. Scott instructed to fill out a few documents on his website and then fill out the free give away for free lighting and other features and he will send me an email with pricing, details, guest access to his library and then he will follow up with us. Scott never followed up again and after waiting a few weeks, we have decided to look for another DJ for our wedding. read more

After the wedding many of the guests complemented me on what a great DJ so of course I have to pass along the compliments. Thank you Scott and Hot Mix Entertainment for making my wedding and event to remember. read more

Scott did a great job for our corporate holiday party. He was on time, did everything he promised, and got our employees to dance and have a great time. The mix of music was perfect and appropriate for the type of party we were hosting. If he wasn't sure about something, he asked us first. Very easy to work with and highly recommended! The lighting was fantastic as well! read more

Scott Silz from Hot Mix did a phenomenal job! He was professional from start to finish, catering to all your needs and making sure the flow of your reception will go perfectly. From showing up early to ensure proper set up without technical difficulty until take down at the end. He has a perfect announcement voice, and great song choice to keep the party moving. One of the best parts for us was that we love electronic music from deep house to bangin' techno, and he was able to go flawlessly from the classics and some hip-hop straight into it, while keeping the dance floor filled! Everyone was impressed and excited that we got to have a wedding and entertainment of this style! Would definitely recommend Scott if you want the best music of any genre, and if you want it to flow properly with great equipment, sound, lights, and no hassle! And for the price you pay you're getting significantly more quality than you would any other service, thank you Scott! :) read more

We chose Scott at Hot Mix Entertainment as a DJ for our wedding at The Wit hotel. The preparation process was very easy and smooth. Scott was great guiding us through all the steps till the day of the wedding. He was always there to answer all our questions and provide feedback on our suggestions. Scott made an outstanding introduction speech to all our guests and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Our guests were a diverse group: different ages, backgrounds, nationalities. We had guests from multiple cities, states and countries. Everyone complimented the choice of music and didn't want the evening to end. We will definately recomment Scott to all our friends looking for the best DJ for their events. read more

What can I say about Scott except that he totally crushed it at our wedding and kept the dancefloor packed all night long? We had a destination Austin wedding and no DJ was good enough for our tastes except Silz so we dragged him all the way down to Texas - a choice we could not be happier with. The music was amazing, he did an insane job with the uplighting - when the lights were lowered, the place looked incredible! - and his photobooth was a highlight to us and our guests. Oliver (who manned the photobooth) was a true professional and had amazing ideas for our friends that made their excitement over picture taking even better. All we wanted at our wedding was a total party and he kept it that way all night long! read more

Scott is a consummate professional, we were lucky to have found him for our corporate event. He put together a killer set, incorporated our branding into his stage and photo booths and was great in responding to all my communications. We had a change in date, time and venue a few months down the line after securing his services and he rolled with that no problem. We had a last minute presentation our employees put together, the morning of the event and he confirmed he can make that work within minutes of me making the request. He helped in making sure we had the right layout for the event, worked around the stringent guidelines placed by the venue and followed through on everything he pitched when we brought him on board. He did a great job of keeping the party vibe going with a very eclectic group with varying tastes and his light show in the night was spectacular. I cannot say enough great things about Scott and his team, I would highly recommend them! read more
