DJ Ludwin "El Chapin" ~ Chicago
DJ Ludwin started DJing at the age of 16 during High School. I always had an interest in music and musical instruments. A good friend from school taught me the basics of DJing. I started working with small companies setting up sound equipment for private events. As I got more involved in the music entertainment industry, I started my own DJ company "After Dark Entertainment" Chicago DJs. I worked at many Weddings, Quinceañeras, Latino events, high school parities, corporate parties, and many more. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) where I hosted many Latino events as a DJ. Some of the night clubs I've worked for in Chicago are Club 720s, Chromium Night Club, Excalibur Night Club, Club Mambo, Green Dolphin, and many more. I have also had the opportunity to open for concerts to Elvis Crespo, Aventura, and Victor Manuelle. It's hard to list all the types of music I enjoy playing but I grew up with house music, love salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton and hip-hop. Music is the universe's gift to our ears.

Dj Karisma
(Yefte Lopez)
I Started djing with a friend from highschool, I bought my equipment and started to have lots of private parties, such as quinceaneras, weddings, birthdays and much more, but then I went to look for some more opportunities asking for a chance to dj at clubs. I met a lot of people having lots of good opportunities, djing in many good places from chicago such as Rancho Santa Fe, Mambo's Cafe and La Pachanga, but one of the biggest success was becoming a Chicago International Salsa Congress Dj. Right now I Dj at Sky Lounge in Oakbrook Il, but I still do private parties. You can follow me on facebook - facebook.com/DjKarismaYefteLopez.

DJ Helio ~
Chicago
DJ Helio Originally starting as a rock DJ in 1997, I now focus on salsa and tropical beats. While at the ‘ Dancing Under the Stars ’ program at the Alder Planetarium in 2000, I was struck by the dance instructor Maricza Valentin from Latin Rhythms dance studio. I fell in love with salsa and the music of Ismael Rivera and Frankie Ruiz. Since then, I have been determined that learning to dance salsa is essential to feel the salsero’s passion for the rhythm.
I’ve been a DJ for the CHICAGO SALSA CONGRESS each year since 2006 and a guest DJ for the 2009 Cincinnati Salsa Fest & appearing at the 2010 Detroit Salsa Congress.
DJ Helio has been a professional DJ for more than 14 years working throughout the suburbs’ Salsa Nightclubs and private parties providing a large selection of music from Salsa, Bachata, Merengue and Reggaeton.

I was born in Mexico City and moved to the U.S. when I was 16 years old. I started DJing in small Mexican parties when I was about 17 years old and played all kinds of music from Mexican regional to tropical music such as merengue, cumbia, bachata, and cha cha cha. However, I started to like Salsa more so I took a couple of lessons and it grew on me... I love it!
