OEM by Joakim - INTRODUCING TO A VERY SPECIAL, AND DISCERNING, MUSIC SERVICE:

Guest bar shifts, guest chefs etc. - these kinds of events keep on increasing, as the hospitality industry keeps on raising the bar, with the various players upping the ante amid healthy competition, and which in turn leads to higher quality of everything (with strong potential for increasing revenue and an improved reputation).

So, what’s the next thing within the fast-evolving hospitality F&B sector? Pairings! And that is not referring to the well-established wine and food combo itself!

As cocktails, food, wine, sommeliers, bartenders and chefs will increasingly be combined, the music/DJ can be the last missing piece in the puzzle to accomplish extraordinary guest events/experiences!

DJ Sommelier “pairing” service offer

Raising the bar even further, the following concept service – literally – brings something new to the table within the world of F&B and hospitality entertainment! And this is in addition to the curating of music in general (as presented as a separate item here on OEM by Joakim), and that forms a benchmarking service unlike what you have come across earlier: your DJ Sommelier and curator of taste Deep Joaquin.

Here, think of the DJ component as a sommelier to serve the music that everyone else is missing, and based on a "quality-first" philosophy! You are presented with a different opportunity - from a sensory designer who understands that music has "body," "tannins," and a "finish." The crafted soundtrack ensures perfect pairing with the environment and the event theme. Get hand-picked, rare, surprising and simply amazing music selections from your DJ sommelier, and that build the vibe with surgical precision! It creates an atmosphere of "quiet luxury" that social-media-driven EDM cannot replicate. The music is served with the same care as a vintage wine: decanted for the right moment, served at the perfect temperature, and chosen to leave a lasting impression.

So, this service caters to pairings in all their forms; involving bars/bartenders, chefs and sommeliers - and combined with the DJ sommelier. The ‘Secret Ingredient’ with its tasting notes also enhances the concept. Take contact below for full details and further dialogue!

Key ingredients that are typically included:

Getting a playlist where every song is hand-picked for each particular event - crafted to have significant positive impact on the guest experiences.
Every selection is chosen for its emotional resonance and its ability to capture a specific, un-manufactured mood.
A curated narrative across different energy levels while maintaining a consistent "Top-Notch" DNA.
Top-notch productions, rare B-sides, and independent releases that social media often overlooks.
'Sommelier' picks from independent labels and direct-to-fan platforms
‘Balearic’ music: not as in commercially understood Balearic but as moving beyond the "Ibiza Sunset" clichés into sophisticated and ambient-leaning sounds.
World class cocktail session soundtrack (depending on the event's needs)
Also great ‘wow’ discoveries from new and upcoming artists.

My process involves designing a bespoke Music DNA for each environment, selecting individual pieces of music regardless of genre. This results in a crafted soundtrack where the common thread is a standard of excellence.
