Just ask the thousands who frequent Level 4 and Zanzabar. Your party is in good hands when DJ Mike D. is in control.

His eight years at Zanzabar makes his the longest tenure of any DJ at one nightclub in town. Add to that his professional resume, which includes remix work on tracks by Justin Timberlake, Ciara, Chris Brown and Mariah Carey.

While he’s accustomed to playing for some of the largest, most diverse crowds in Honolulu, the key to his success has been catering to the masses and an important thing called confidence.

“If I don’t believe in myself, why should anyone else? The first step to success is confidence. Just make sure it’s confidence, not arrogance,” said the 104.3 mix man. “Yes as a DJ, we want to hear what we want, hate the same songs over and over and all that, but it’s the dance floor that matters.”

Level 4, 2233 Kalakaua Ave., 4th floor Royal Hawaiian Center, Wed & Sat, 21+; Zanzabar Nightclub, 2254 Khi Ave., Waikiki Trade Center, Sun, 21+.
