Denny Tsettos

There are DJs who play records and then there are DJs who morph records into an entire musical experience. Ask anyone who has found themself on the dance floor of Denny Tsettos and you will find that he does anything but merely play records. It’s this talent that has gained him notoriety as one of the first DJs to break out of New Jersey into the esteemed NYC club arena.


Denny has been the bridge between the NYC/NJ metropop audience and the dance floors of underground NYC nightlife for almost 20 years. He has worked within NYCÂ’s globally recognized nightclubs Crobar, Limelight, Twilo, and Sound Factory and has held residencies at Carbon, Exit, and World. His 12 hour marathon sets at Exit became the weekend soundtrack to 5,000 Tri-State clubbers. While some DJs may forget their roots, Denny began a decade plus tradition in his home state of NJ and raised the Jersey Shore on house music every summer weekend at the legendary Temptations in Seaside Heights. His incredible DJ skills have sent him across the globe. Denny has played prime-time at nightclubs in Tokyo, Osaka, Sao Paulo, Bogota, Santo Domingo, San Juan, Cancun, Las Vegas, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinatti, Philadelphia, Boston, Providence, and several times at the world famous Club Space in Miami. In March of 2006 Denny was invited to participate at the first ever Global Gathering held in the United States. He played along side the talents of Deep Dish, Roger Sanchez, Steve Lawler, and Murk.


Aside from his success in the clubs, Denny is a Billboard reporter who maintained the most popular and longest running radio mix-show on WKTU-New York. His mix-show, “The Sanctuary” aired late Saturday nights/early Sunday mornings as listeners from the entire Tri-State area tuned in religiously to hear what global dance groove Denny will play next

While some DJs may feel on top of the world broadcasting from the USA’s top radio market, Denny amplifies his passion and hard work by adding “Abducted” to his broadcast package. Available from coast to coast, “Abducted” reaches dance music fans across the nation every Tuesday at midnight EST on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 33.

In between gigs and broadcasts Denny is tweaking the knobs in the studio. Denny’s remixes of Georgie Porgie's "I Believe" and Jennifer Green’s “How Can I Be Falling” charted #1 on Billboard Club Chart in January 2007 and April 2005. His list of remix clientele include Justin Timberlake, Brandy, N-Sync, The Corrs, and many more. Along with his extensive remix work, Denny Tsettos has six commercially released dance compliations.

Taking his skills to the next level, Denny has also been a record label executive and was in charge of A/R and Promotional Direction for Metropolitan Records (1998-2000). Through Metropolitan, Denny launched his own label, Metro Underground. Following that, Denny was in charge of National Radio Promotions for at the time, the top dance label in the country Strictly Rhythm/Groovilicious (2000-2003).

So, from his early days of playing local house parties, growing up with dance music, working as record label executive, and releasing several compilations, one could say that Denny Tsettos is one of NYC/NJÂ’s major figures of dance music.
