ELIO'S MIXES

These are just a few samples to give you a snapshot of what we have to offer. We are always happy to customize our mixing and song selection to suit your style. 
Elio is a Chicago-based rhythm-obsessed artist and DJ. They have been a percussionist, creative, and music lover their whole life. Elio began dancing at a young age, focusing primarily on tap dancing, hiphop, and street-styles. This training, as well as working in the rave, festival, and club scenes, has shaped their musical ear and passion for curating euphoric dance floor energy. 

Raised on Earth, Wind, and Fire, the Talking Heads, and Beck, Elio weaves between vintage goodies and fresh tracks, keeping you locked in as they take you on a musical world tour. You might hear influences of disco, R&B, house, afrobeats, reggaeton, and pop while they are on the decks. While spinning from an eclectic collection, Elio finds the most joy in bringing people together on the dance floor, and is committed to collaborating with the happy couple to create the perfect vibe for their special day. 

When they are not DJing, they work as sculptor & installation artist, event producer, harm reductionist, and teacher.

My wife and I highly recommend our DJ, Elio Baseman with Green Line Talent for your wedding! Elio did an outstanding job not only at the event, but in the prep. They were always very responsive to emails, and willing to have as many meetings as it took to achieve our vibe. They can play a very wide range of music, because our wedding went from traditional to club-like all in a few hours! LGBTQ+ friendly!

Elio was an absolutely fantastic addition to our small wedding and I genuinely can't picture what the night would have been like without them! They were highly communicative and easy to work with throughout the whole process. They were able to take the general music framework we provided and run with it, all while reading the room at the same time. I would absolutely recommend them for any event, big or small. Thank you, Elio!!

Green Line is a gem. From Imani's planning to Elio's DJing at our event, the Green Line team was professional, responsive, organized, fun, flexible, and deeply committed to making our celebration the most festive and least stressful it could possibly be. They're a joy to work with and will be our first and only call next time we need a DJ.​

Elio absolutely rocked it at a "speakeasy" style wedding I officiated. They paid tight attention to levels, cues, and timing of the entire ceremony, wedding party, and guests. I felt 100% confident with them at the switches. :) Highly recommend Green Line Talent!

Elio was so awesome! Fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly and expertly read the dance floor. They took tons of time to meticulously go over our musical preferences and special requests for pre-ceremony, the ceremony, reception, and dancing. Can't recommend their services more highly!​

If you want someone to make your event pop, Elio is the person to choose, they bring a passion to everything they do. If you need someone to get things done and have a good time doing, they’re the best. The parties I’ve been to, arranged and hosted by them have been nothing but a blast, good music, great entertainment, the whole shebang! They would be my first choice to host a celebratory occasion of any kind!

Elio is a natural leader and community builder who consistently takes initiative to organize, curate, and execute events that engage the senses and facilitate connection. They know how to read a room and immediately understand what will get people moving, laughing, and connecting. Bubbly, creative, and passionate, Elio knows how to throw a party and is an asset to any team!​
