by Ron Bess



He collects rare classic automobiles, from the 60's, but his music library shifts into gear with the 70's. DJ Dennis Matera is on the move.

"My goal in the DJ booth is to make sure everyone is dancing and having a good time."shares Dennis. Recognized as an interactive Disc Jockey, Dennis invites your requests and welcomes your feedback. " If I don't have your music, I will have it next time". Dennis has that uncanny ability to remember a face and link it to a song. The next time he sees you, presto, he puts it into over drive and your hear your song before you can request it. These are the points of difference that has made Dennis one of the tri state areas top DJs.

Dennis is not new to the hustle dance world. He began hustle dancing over 20 years ago. "My biggest inspiration was my first hustle instructor (now best friend Eusilio DiPace) dancing to Souvenirs by Voyage."  Dennis grew up in Elmwood Park, NJ and raised his family in Totowa. With an educational background in the field of electronic technology, he managed 20 Wireless Cell Phone laboratories. With such a diverse background in electronics, technology, music and dance he possesses the key ingredients to multi task in the DJ Booth. He creates an exciting energetic, get-up-and-dance atmosphere wherever he plays. His knowledge and social expertise in the DJ booth are second to none.

" I am a "dancer's" DJ.  It's your party, not mine! "If my goals are accomplished, my life is complete. My limits are endless until the plug is pulled."  Having been on both sides of the dance floor as a competitive and social dancer, DJ Dennis knows the importance of feeling the music deep inside. Dancers can expect to hear a broad selection of music well known to the Hustle world including some Latin, WCS, Classics, Club and beyond. He knows how to jump start a party and get the dancers in motion.

"I have heard hustle dancers are tired of the slow, mundane music. They would like more energetic music so they can become creative in their dance" shares Dennis. "It is difficult to find "hustle music" in a store.  However, every day I am in search of hustle music to add to my collection.  It is a never ending job, but I love it. "A great hustle music collection is priceless? and I have it "

His DJ experience encompasses a variety of dance venues, including spinning at Capers Nightclub at the Holiday Inn in Wayne, Doc's Nightclub in the Holiday Inn in Totowa and Illusions Nightclub in the Sheraton Crossroads in Mahwah.

Like a fine tuned 8 cylinder engine in a classic corvette, Dennis takes his music very serious. But look out, he has nocturnal characteristics and comes to life in the DJ booth at night
