Our story: From New York's beats to New Orleans' vibrant scenes

Learn about Graves And Graves Media Enterprises, our journey, and the passion that drives us to create unforgettable nightlife experiences and expertly curated DJ situations.

Our roots in entertainment

The inspiration for Graves And Graves Media Enterprises stems from a lengthy career in the entertainment industry, primarily within the music scene. While living in New York City, our founder gained extensive experience with films, television, off-Broadway shows, video games, and even co-hosted a weekly radio show, "Reel Friends with Will & Derek" on GayRadio.com.

Specializing in the burgeoning electronic music scene, we had the privilege of handling various aspects of the careers of top DJs, including Grammy-winning producer Peter Rauhofer and his label Star 69 Records, legendary Junior Vasquez, Eddie Elias, Prague's superstar DJ Michaell Burian, trance all-stars Sasha & Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Green Velvet,  Oscar G, Sven Vath, Starkillers and many more.

We are experience architects

What do we love most about creating and planning events or booking DJs for people? We consider ourselves Experience Architects. Our passion lies in crafting lasting memories, ensuring good times, and leaving you full of positive vibes. Every event we curate is designed to be more than just a gathering; it's an opportunity to create moments that resonate long after the music fades.
