DJ Mike City
At just 14 years old, Mike began his career as a DJ, working house parties and learning the tricks of the trade. He quickly began spinning in clubs and eventually transitioned into starting a company of his own in the metro NY/NJ area. Years later, after Mike, his wife, and their three boys relocated to North Carolina, he joined the Split Second family. Some of DJ Mike City's most recently attended event locations have included Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium, Providence Cotton Mill - Maiden, NC , The Mint Museum - Charlotte, NC, McGill Rose Garden - Charlotte, NC , Boxwood Estates - Mocksville, NC , Quail Hollow Club - Charlotte, NC, and many more! Mike is a pro when it comes to reading a room, and this sets him apart from others. He won’t just hit play and hope that people get up and dance. He takes note of his audience, expanding the music as time goes on and adjusting accordingly. Mike’s great attention to detail and ability to stay proactive and keep the party going, allow him to deliver exactly what’s wanted and more. All of this, along with having over 30 years of DJ experience, make him an outstanding DJ for any event. One of Mike’s most memorable DJ moments was when he DJed the wedding of Michael Jordan’s niece. He fondly remembers getting Michael Jordan out on the dance floor, dancing to his mixes and absolutely loving it. His favorite memories as a DJ also include his work done at the Make-A-Wish Foundation parties. Seeing the ecstatic looks upon the faces of those involved, makes it all worth it for Mike.
DJ Mike and Split Second Sound were amazing to work with. Mike played all the right music to entertain a varied crowd of 60-80 year old's as well as mid-30s. The dance floor was packed all night and we received numerous compliments about the music and how amazing it was. We also added cold sparks to our reception and they added the perfect atmosphere to keep the party going! I would highly recommend DJ Mike and Split Second Sound to anyone who asks! Thank you again for making our wedding absolutely perfect!

I couldn't recommend Split Second Sound Entertainment enough!! They are extremely easy to work with and make the entire process a breeze. Our DJ for our wedding was Mike Nania and he was absolutely incredible! He did music for our wedding ceremony as well as cocktail hour and reception. Our guests had a blast and he kept everyone on the dance floor until the night was over. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of Mike!

As a Charlotte wedding planner, I absolutely love working with the team at Split Second. We recommend their DJs often and I am always excited when I find out my couples have chosen their team. I would love to shout out a few professionals on their team who have been critical in some awesome wedding days I've had in 2024! Chad C, Giovanni D, Todd H, Mike N, Steve B, and many more. Excited for 2025!!

Scout & Grace- DJ Mike was the perfect pick for our wedding reception! He made sure to incorporate all of our "must plays" which we appreciated and he managed to keep the dance floor packed all night long. We attended a friend's wedding one week later and by coincidence DJ Mike was their DJ as well- safe to say - that was another packed dance floor.
Nicole Copsis
- Fantastic experience with Split Second Sound all around! We were fortunate to work with DJ Mike for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. He made us feel listened to and comfortable working with him from the beginning. One of the biggest and most important decisions you make when planning your wedding is the music/entertainment- Mike crushed it and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing a better job! Will be working with this group in the future.

- DJ Mike did an amazing job at our kids B’Nai Mitzvah. He created the perfect fun beach vibe we were looking for. The kids and adults danced all night and had an amazing time. DJ Mike was able to seamlessly flow through the music and feel the crowd. It was super easy to work with him and he really understood how to work with the guests and all the music varieties. We highly recommend DJ Mike for your next venue!

- The picture speaks for itself, but we had an amazing experience with Split Second Sound at our wedding! From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and knew exactly how to keep the energy going throughout the night. Our DJ read the crowd perfectly, played all of our must-have songs, and kept the dance floor packed the entire time. They made sure the night flowed smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for better entertainment. We highly recommend Split Second Sound for any event—they truly know how to create unforgettable moments!

Mike from Split Second Sound quite literally MADE the night of our reception at our wedding! He created the perfect medley based on our requests and kept the dance floor alive all night long. I expected it to be great, but he exceeded my expectations!

Natasha Brown
I can not even begin to explain how amazing Mike was at our Wedding last weekend. From the ceremony music, to the intros, to the party - It was flawless. The music was fabulous, he had people on the dance floor at all times. I continuously get compliments from guests, saying how much fun they had and that our DJ was phenomenal.
Jamie Cady
DJ Mike Nania blew it out of the water! We requested him because we know he is exceptional, but he exceeded our expectations! Our daughter’s wedding reception was beyond our wildest dreams. We thought we had a crowd that might be difficult to get on the floor, but instead we ended up with a packed floor, from the first song to the very last one, with high energy the entire time and all generations out there having a blast together. Mike just intuitively knows how to read a room and create the vibe. He did the perfect mix between music we said we liked, and music that just drew people to the floor and kept them there. He also MC’d the event perfectly, grabbing the crowd’s attention and getting everyone paying attention to the entrance, speeches, and special dances. We cannot say enough about how wonderful this night was for all of us, how many compliments we’ve received, how perfect everything was. It will be a wedding reception people will remember, and most of that is due to DJ Mike!

Michele Sullivan
Split Second Sound and specifically Mike Nania (DJ Mike City) did an outstanding job at our wedding! Throughout the planning process, Mike was excellent to communicate with, ensuring every detail was perfectly coordinated for our big day. His expertise in editing and splicing our first dance songs created unforgettable moments on the dance floor. One of our main requests was to keep the dance floor packed all night, and Mike delivered flawlessly. He played all the hits and demonstrated an exceptional ability to read the crowd, keeping the energy high and the party going strong. Mike seamlessly integrated our "must play" songs into the set, ensuring they felt natural and unforced. We highly recommend Split Second Sound and especially Mike City to anyone in need of a top-tier DJ for their event. Thank you, Mike, for making our night unforgettable and keeping the dance floor lively and fun!

Words cannot express how much fun, life, and perfection DJ Mike from Split Second added to our wedding day. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, all the way to the last song - everything was perfect. The sound quality, song choices, timing of transitions as well as quality of the transitions were all flawless. We cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and effort into our wedding day. Every single song choice kept every single person on the dance floor until it was time for the exit. Truly appreciative of you DJ Mike!!!! Cheers!

Split second sound absolutely saved the day for our wedding. We unfortunately had a last minute cancellation 4 days before show time. Dj mike and split second sounds team went above and beyond to help us out and reassure us that this hiccup would not be a problem. We went over timeline 3 days before the wedding and let us tell you, you would of thought Dj Mike was apart of the vendor team the whole time. 4 weeks later and I still get phone calls about how amazing the Dj was. We are so thankful to have had this experience with split second sound and will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the future!!
Gabrielle Stelzer
My husband and I can't express enough how thankful we are for DJ Mike and the way he made our wedding the best night of our lives! From our initial first email, he was so easy to work with, took the time to go through our profile sheet, and setup a call to go through all details prior to our wedding day and made our vision come to life! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, he played everything we requested, transitioned from one song to the next perfectly, made us feel so special and blended our two worlds so perfectly together. He has been a pleasure to work with and we will for sure be recommending him and Split Second Sound to everyone we know! Thank you DJ Mike!

I cannot recommend Split Second Sound and DJ Mike City enough! They are extremely communicative to ensure they grasp the needs of your event and they provide excellent service from requests made. They provide a variety of options for any event you may have, which was essential for us when booking music for our wedding. They helped us stay in budget while providing EXACTLY the atmosphere we needed for our special day. I also cannot say enough good things about DJ Mike, he was essential to our guests calling our wedding "the best wedding ever!" He not only captured the dancing vibe we requested but also added to the atmosphere perfectly by engaging our guests. 10/10 recommend, hire them!!

- Mike did an amazing job at our event and knew how to read the room and play the perfect music to keep everyone dancing and singing the night away!
Michelle
- Mike was our DJ for our wedding on New Year's Eve and he was AMAZING! Not only is Mike a total professional but he was able to match the mood of the crowd on NYE and make sure everyone was on the dance floor the whole time. Mike and his team made sure that our wedding went without a single hiccup from the ceremony all the way through the reception. We couldn't imagine our day without them and would recommend them to anyone that wants to have a great time at their wedding haha.
Selma Gomez
- DJ Mike was a huge hit at our wedding! So many of our friends came up to us during and after the reception complimenting Mike’s song choices and dj skills. The dance floor was full for an entire 2 hours and we danced the night away. He was so easy to work with and went with the flow as we changed some things around in real time. Highly recommend!
Evan Bertram
Split Second Sound and Mike in particular exceeded all our expectations. They were responsive and answered any questions we had as they came up. Everything on the day of was executed to perfection! My daughter’s only complaint about her Bat Mitzvah was that it’s over. Will definitely be using Mike and SSS in the future.

DJ Toby took our Employee Holiday Party to another level with his sensational music selection. His ability to read the energy of the room and seamlessly transition between songs was remarkable. Toby's versatile playlist catered to all tastes, blending classics with modern hits flawlessly. His high-energy performance and professional approach made for an unforgettable evening. DJ Toby is a must-have for any event that needs a DJ who knows how to keep the party going. Thank you, DJ Toby, for creating an atmosphere that will be remembered by all who attended the party!

Mike @ Split Second Sound was wonderful. He met with us prior to our event to get an idea of musical taste, flow, etc for the event, and he hit it on all the numbers. We were very pleased and were told by many of our guests how good the music was and how the announcements, encouragement to get on the dance floor, etc. We are very happy with the services that Split Second Sound provided us for our wedding!

Leigh Parker
Mike was the best DJ!! Once you decide to go with split second they have you fill out questionnaires and details to help them understand what you want and venue details. Once the wedding gets closer they call you and talk you through the songs and timing of things. I was happy that Mike was experienced and honest with my questions so that I could make the best decisions for our wedding(after all it was my first one and I didn’t know how things would be the day of). The night of the wedding he accommodated all changes or announcements with my wedding planner and played music appropriately for the atmosphere while playing our favorites. He made a shy group really come out of their shell and dance!! Recommended 100%.
Mike was absolutely incredible. He read the room and played the right songs to get everyone dancing. It made our wedding day incredible and memorable to every guest!
Jon Messerschmidt
We cannot say enough about Mike with Split Second Sound and how perfect our wedding was with him as our DJ! What an incredible night we had! Every single song and moment was made so much more special because of how fantastic Mike was! From the start of the ceremony to the final song of the night the music, toasts, shoutouts and speeches were absolutely perfect. Amazing amazing amazing DJ and MC. Thank you again, Mike!

- Best DJ Ever!!!! Mike did an amazing job keeping the party going! Even had people that usually don’t dance dancing!! The best night ever.
Bianca Vasquez
1 cannot begin to express how happy my new husband and I are with the service we received from Split Second Sound and our DJ Mike City. They were a pleasure to work with from booking through wedding day. Mike kept the energy high and guests on the dance floor all night long and also helped to direct the flow of traffic to prevent confusion for my guest. While I never plan on getting married again and don't plan on utilizing their seton the future I would recommend this company to any who would listen.
Rachel Slack
Mike was our DJ and was a phenomenal choice for the wedding! He kept the dance floor packed all night. We even had an intermission for announcements and had multiple people ask for him to start playing music again soon. His announcements for the entrances and for the speeches pumped the crowd up. Overall amazing time!
