@tdfmobile-Chicago's First and Only Mobile DJ Van!

IMG_4240.jpg

Last year, when COVID-19 struck and wiped out our industry’s business, we knew we had to pivot. We rolled out Chicago’s first and only mobile DJ van with one goal in mind; spread good vibes and positivity through good music and a good time! We popped-up on those who needed it most; our first responders, essential workers and our neighbors in the city we love so much.

We ended up booking birthday parties, graduations, high school sports team celebrations, block parties and more! We were featured on almost very local news outlet and began to grow an entire new audience.

This year we are rolling out TDF Mobile 2.0 and it’s going to be bigger than ever. We created it’s own Instagram account, @tdfmobile, so please follow along on this journey and tune in for updates. Who knows, we could pop up in a neighborhood near you!
