About DJ James White

James White is a Washington, DC-based open format DJ and event curator known for his dynamic sets, genre-spanning versatility, and immersive party experiences. What began as a college hobby quickly evolved into a professional journey rooted in rhythm, community, and high-impact production.

James first discovered his passion for DJing while attending George Mason University, where he started spinning at fraternity parties and campus events. Those early gigs—marked by long nights, packed dance floors, and raw energy—ignited his love for live performance and set the foundation for what would become a thriving career in the heart of DC’s nightlife scene.

As his reputation grew, James made a seamless transition from college house parties to underground raves, local clubs, and rooftop events across the city. He built his name not only on genre-fluid, crowd-pleasing sets—blending house, hip-hop, rock, pop, and more—but also on his ability to transform any space into an unforgettable experience.

Today, James White is the driving force behind his own event series, curating afterparties, private functions, and large-scale nightlife experiences under the Aftersmath brand. What sets him apart isn’t just the music—it’s the attention to detail. James is known for investing in high-end production elements like premium sound systems, creative lighting, and elevated aesthetics that bring a polished, professional edge to every party he touches.
