The PreGame Series is Officially Here: Food, Music, & Creative Resets 🎧✨
Recapping my private backyard birthday bash + Inside the new blueprint for premium STL events.
Familia,
The defrost is fully over. We have officially stepped into Summer 2026, and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than by pulling the curtain back on a project that has been living in my heart for months.
Welcome to the soft launch of the DJ AO PreGame Series.

This is exactly how we co-create new spaces and what real open format DJs do on the weekend - when the passion takes over. 😉
The New Era of Curation
The PreGame Series isn’t just a party, it’s a sanctuary for the senses. This Birthday Edition served as our proof of concept for an upscale, intimate home experience that merges open-format turntablism with elite culinary arts.
Moving forward into the summer, fall, and winter, this series is expanding into curated private dinners, themed 3-course girl’s nights, mastermind sessions, and restorative creative resets for Saint Louis locals and beyond.
We are building spaces where professionals, creatives, and friends can let their hair down, eat exceptionally well, and connect innocently.
Catch the Vibe on Socials (The Quick Edits)
If you want to see how this translates across the feed, I put together two distinct perspectives on Instagram:
The Raw Perspective: A quick, organic look captured straight from my phone. Pure laughs, authentic interactions, and behind-the-scenes energy.
Featuring: DJ Manifest, DJ Spade & Meals By Milli (caramel rice crispy, chocolate covered pretzels & incredible cupcakes) 🥰🫶🏽🧁
The Mini 360 Recap: A bite-sized immersive scroll-stopper to give you a taste of the backyard layout and standard-setting transitions.
