An original member of the Style Matters DJ genesis, Duke is closing-in on 1000 successful private events, from intimate DIY experiences to extravagant galas, birthday parties to film shoots, and of course weddings of every type! While the benefit of that experience is as valuable as it is rare, his true "super-power" as a DJ is in using his skills and experience to transform your vision and dreams into a tangible and distinctive celebration.
Outside of private event work, you can find him in-demand and booked as support for touring DJs and live acts around the city, and has appeared at festivals like Northcoast Music Fest, Spring Awakening, Westfest Chicago and Burning Man, as well as satellite parties during Movement in Detroit. He also curates, hosts and serves as the resident DJ for the long running weekly event The Goods, which celebrated its 12th year in 2025. Duke also served as a lead instructor for a teen DJ Apprenticeship program through After School Matters for 10 years.
Always a story-teller, Duke previously worked professionally in film and music journalism before turning to DJ-ing full-time. Book him to tell your story!
