DJ Torch has a musical gift that allows him to feel the flow of a crowd, predicting the songs, beats, and hooks people need to keep their night going strong—and that's no small feat, whether you're in his current home of Las Vegas, or his hometown in the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area.

A gift? Maybe. But experience helps, too, and Torch has seen it all. From roller rinks to comedy clubs, he's been entrusted to pump-up the adrenaline of all kinds of crowds. Doing so takes an understanding of human nature, the ability to feel the pulse of many people from across a room.

The best way to take-in what a great DJ can do is to listen for yourself. Torch has several mixes on his website that will get you moving, and planning the event you want to have him deejay. Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, Prince—DJ Torch's mixes tend to center around old school R & B, but aren't at all limited to it.

Check out DJ Torch for his mixes of music you know, love, and get down to, but also for his original grooves which takes the best parts of the popular music he mixes, and bring in his own catchiness and timeliness.
