BIOGRAPHY

Jeff Neckonoff bought his first Technics 1200 turntables back when he was in Canarsie High School, and started doing parties throughout his high school & college years. While at Baruch College, after studying marketing, sales, accounting & finance by day, he was concurrently teaching himself how to beat mix disco, dance music, freestyle & house music by night. In 1987, during his senior year, he landed the much coveted position of resident DJ at one of Long Island's hottest nightclubs, called Jamz (also known as Fokkus), in West Hempstead.

He then began DJ'ing regularly in clubs from NYC to Long Island until 1996 (when his daughter was born), mixing two-three nights a week till 4am classic disco, freestyle, funk, old-skool hip hop and house music. His other main clubs were Johnny Rockets, Cafe Society, L.I. Exchange, the Savoy, Coco's, Buttles, Uncle Sam's and Polyesters.

Also in 1987, he started working for the most successful DJ Company in the United States, EJM Entertainment. EJM did an average of 35 parties a weekend, utilizing 10 DJ crews. Besides doing the majority of all Bar & Bat Mitzvahs from Manhattan to the Hamptons, EJM was consistently sending crews to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, California, Texas, Philly, Boston & Chicago. EJM was simply the biggest & best entertainment company, dealing with everyone from NY middle class to extremely wealthy clients throughout the country,

It was during this time that Jeff mastered the art of managing an event, running a party and creating the exact atmosphere the clients & their guests desired. "Every party we did was a home run", he says. "With no exaggeration, most of the kids at the Bar/Bat Mitzvahs used to beg us for autographs at every party. It was surreal". Jeff refers to his EJM days as "DJ University", as the training he received there was second to none, and can never be duplicated again.

In 1993, he left EJM to create his own company called Classic Entertainment, which later expanded to include NY Event Connection. Classic was the DJ company. NY Event was a multi-faceted special events planning company, predominantly doing Bar & Bat Mitzvahs, Weddings, Extravagant 40th & 50th birthdays and high-end corporate functions. He organized entire events from soup to nuts, including all their music, extra entertainment, staging & lighting. Azamra was launched in late 2004.

In 2011, Jeff launched the successful Disco/Freestyle Promotion at the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach. It lasted for three summers until the hotl was sold. From 2011 - 2024, Jeff workded at a variet of local nightclubs, such as Pop's, Zachary's, Aura & Althouse. Sadly, Covid closed most clubs.

But in May of 2024, Jeff launched the overwhelming successful Disco/Freestyle promotion at DOX in Island Park, getting over FOURTEEN MILLION views on TikTok. The posts went viral and have led to Jeff being in demand and performing regularly at many Long Island & Queens venues such as Vetro Rooftop, Revel, 3490 Lounge, Sunny Atlantic Club, Lily's Babylon, Franklin Social & Cancun. The promo works as the niche is strictly dance music from 1978 - 1995. No exceptions:-)
