Kyle can confidently play all genres of House but puts out mostly Underground House, Deep House, Minimal, Disco, and Afro House.

Being from Chicago, Kyle is an aggressive mixer with soul. His sound always has a full heartbeat, is chunky, organic, melodic, and tracky. He does all of his track selection live, and nothing is pre-planned. His on-the-fly track selection is fire as he has personally developed a best-in-class organizational structure in Rekordbox. We look for these same characteristics in other DJs we book for events.

We DJ and spin vinyl and have been for 23+ years. We also DJ with analog devices and digital. You can expect the highest level of professionalism from our team, as Kyle is a Civil Engineer by day and Jenn has been a successful entrepreneur and business manager for 15 years. As this is the case, we can do our own sound and system setup, management, and cover most other technical needs. We also are experienced event operators and managers, and mentor many partners in other crews. We go above and beyond your average artist booking as we bring many other skills with us. We value being a steward of good etiquette for our clients and their audiences, as well as our own. 

Kyle, HCR’s co-founder, is a Chicago-bred DJ that has been mixing on both vinyl and digital since the late 90s, 23+ years.

Including Seattle and Chicago, Kyle is a well-traveled DJ, having lived in four major House Music markets. He’s held residencies in NYC, played festivals in Northern CA, WA, and clubs all over SF, NYC, and has played at various venues abroad in Thailand, Bali, Amsterdam, and London. He's played at Burning Man with several camps, most notably DISTRIKT, Amsterdam Dance Event with Viva Recordings, Critical Northwest Festival in Washington (PNW Burning Man regional), Flammable in Seattle (longest running House Music night in WA; 25+ years), and Winter Music Conference in Miami with MyHouseYourHouse.

That depends. We have our own equipment, but if the venue has the equipment we need outlined in the tech rider, then we typically do not bring equipment with us. We only bring our personal DJ equipment (headphones, music, and/or vinyl records) to events we travel for. If we are going to a local event, we are happy to bring equipment at an additional cost. We can always provide our tech rider to the promoter/venue and they can get the equipment needed.

Our typical DJ set is 1.5-2hrs. Our minimum is 1.5hrs, as it's really difficult to create a vibe in less time.

We actually specialize in mathathon/open-to-close sets (6hrs+). As long as the DJ/s are taken care of, we can discuss specifics and have those be concrete in a signed contract by both parties. We have been known to play up to 24hrs, but that was for a special stream.

Yes, we are, and depending on where and what the event is we will require some budget for travel fees and accommodations. You can reach out to us directly at info@housecleaningrecords.com to discuss budgets.

Once we chat with you about your specific needs, we can offer a quote based on that conversation. We need to ensure that this is a good fit for both parties before we move forward. Fill out the form on this page so we can set up a time to chat. We offer a 30-minute consultation meeting gratis over Zoom.

We do have non-negotiable cost minumums based on duration, effort, and typical budgets of the requesting party. We do not have a one-size-fits all model, but we do have rates for each component of an event and service. We can go over that with you in a call. Our rates also depend on what type of event this is for: private, public, corporate, or if we are traveling.

Yes, we do, and we are also happy to work with yours. We do not engage in any events without a contract, and a review of our contract with both parties on a Zoom call. We will then sign on final agreed upon terms. We want to ensure both parties are heard and covered properly.

For our live DJ sets, the DJs are focused on mixing records and choosing tracks that vibe with the reaction of the crowd well and are time-appropriate. We partner with aerialists, acrobats, and technical lighting companies sometimes with lasers and spotlights etc. Those services are only available alongside our performances and come at an additional agreed upon cost via our approved partners.

DJs will not be taking any requests at any time. 

In short, yes we do! We are not just a record label. We are a community, entertainment group, and educational service.
