DJ Charley – DJ et animateur à Montréal et en Montérégie
A diverse musical background and a genuine passion for mixing
For DJ Charley, a great musical program is about more than just stringing together current chart-toppers. It requires an understanding of the audience, the ability to craft seamless transitions, and a knack for guiding the energy of an event as it unfolds.
His repertoire spans a wide range, including current radio hits, classic retro tracks, club anthems, hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, alternative rock, punk rock, and ska.
Electronic music also plays a significant role in his background. He has a particular affinity for various styles of House—such as Tropical House, Nu Disco, Deep House, Future House, and Progressive House—alongside EDM and other high-energy rhythms.
This versatility allows him to transition naturally from a cocktail hour to a dance-heavy party, or to shift from a mainstream, crowd-pleasing set to a more specialized performance tailored for fans of House and club music.
Having performed at over 1,500 events, he has developed a keen understanding of diverse audiences and their musical expectations.
His selections take into account the preferences of the organizers, specific requests, and the reactions of the guests. His goal remains constant: to deliver a cohesive, inclusive, and festive musical experience.
DJ Charley for your weddings, corporate events, and parties
DJ and host for weddings and receptions
Every wedding has its own unique personality. Some couples prefer an elegant, understated atmosphere during the cocktail hour and dinner, while others envision an evening where guests of all generations come together on the dance floor.
DJ Charley takes into account the couple’s musical tastes, their must-play songs, and the flow of the reception to craft a playlist that truly reflects who they are.
The musical selection can evolve—transitioning from ambient background music and the first dance to popular hits, festive classics, and high-energy tracks.
When also serving as an emcee, he ensures his microphone announcements are perfectly timed to the day’s schedule, including introductions, key announcements, and other significant moments throughout the reception.
At Samantha and Thomas’s wedding in Orford in 2024, the couple particularly appreciated his ability to draw inspiration from their musical preferences to keep the dance floor lively all evening long.
More recently, at Jasmin and Julien’s wedding at Château Saint-Antoine, the clients praised the work of DJ Charley and Master D, noting that "the dance floor was packed the entire night."
For weddings that also require event planning, decor, sound systems, lighting, or other services, Master D can coordinate the entire production and integrate DJ Charley into the team.
DJ and host for corporate events and office parties
Whether it’s a Christmas party, a gala, an awards evening, a company anniversary, or any event bringing together employees and partners, DJ Charley knows how to tailor his performance to the specific nature of the occasion.
A corporate event might begin with ambient music suited for a cocktail hour or dinner, before shifting to a more festive tone when it’s time to open the dance floor.
His diverse repertoire appeals to guests of all generations, while his experience as an emcee ensures that announcements and transitions between different parts of the program go smoothly.
Following an employee party for Gendron Assurance at Plaza Rive-Sud in La Prairie, the company described his performance as a resounding success, highlighting his professionalism and his ability to create a festive atmosphere.
The organizers specifically described him as "professional, dynamic, and excellent at creating a festive vibe."
For events requiring multiple microphones, audiovisual presentations, ambient lighting, large screens, or full technical production, Master D can manage all the necessary equipment and coordination.
This collaboration allows DJ Charley’s performance to be seamlessly integrated into a structured corporate production—from the cocktail hour all the way through to the dance portion of the evening.
DJ pour bal de finissants et soirée étudiante
DJ Charley’s experience with student audiences dates back to the early stages of his career, when he hosted school events in Sherbrooke.
Since then, his work has expanded to include university events, formal dances, student parties, and various end-of-year celebrations.
His versatility across popular music, hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, club hits, and electronic trends allows him to tailor his playlist to the specific tastes of young adults and graduating students.
For a formal dance or prom, he can incorporate must-play tracks requested by the students, align with the desired musical style, and respond to the energy on the dance floor.
His background in event hosting also enables him to assist with announcements and manage smooth transitions between the different segments of the evening.
For institutions seeking a more elaborate production—including sound systems, spectacular lighting, large-scale screens, visual effects, decor, or event coordination—Master D can assemble all the necessary services to complement his performance.
DJ for festivals, neighborhood parties, and municipal events
Accustomed to public events and performances before diverse crowds, DJ Charley possesses the experience required to adapt to festivals, municipal celebrations, community events, and outdoor activities.
His background includes appearances at the Festival DansEncore in Trois-Rivières, the Sherbrooke Ribfest, the Saint-Hyacinthe Agricultural Expo, the Tour de l'Île de Montréal, and various other popular events.
He has also taken part in a range of municipal activities, including the Dollard-des-Ormeaux Winter Carnival in February 2026.
Following that event, the organizer expressed such appreciation for his performance that they invited him back for their Canada Day festivities—both for his musical sets and his work as an event host.
This experience enables him to tailor his approach to suit family-oriented audiences, large festival crowds, or more specialized musical performances.
In July 2026, DJ Charley also performed at the Fête du Lac des Nations in Sherbrooke as part of "Les Disco Bros," a musical duo he formed with DJ David Nuke.
For festivals that already have a stage and full technical infrastructure in place, DJ Charley can be contacted directly regarding his artistic performance.
For public celebrations that require a stage, technical production, sound systems, lighting, musicians, or other production services, Master D can coordinate the necessary technical and human resources.
DJ for bars, restaurants, and nightclubs
Bars and nightclubs play a significant role in DJ Charley’s musical journey.
After starting out in the student party scene, he gradually transitioned into the club world, honing his mixing skills and participating in DJ competitions.
He has performed at various venues across Quebec, including White Rabbit in Sainte-Julie, Houston Avenue Bar & Grill in Brossard, and Café d’Époque in Mont-Tremblant, among many other bars and clubs.
These experiences have allowed him to become highly proficient in both commercial hits and electronic music styles, while learning how to craft sets tailored to the specific energy of a given venue.
Depending on the clientele and the concept of the event, he can offer a broad, crowd-pleasing selection, a specific musical atmosphere, or a performance focused more on the various influences of House music.
For bars, restaurants, or nightclubs that already have a sound system and suitable DJ equipment in place, management can contact him directly to discuss their specific needs.
Professional, natural hosting tailored to the guests
The quality of an event service depends as much on the musical selection as it does on how the host interacts with the attendees.
DJ Charley brings extensive experience as an event host, allowing him to introduce key moments, make necessary announcements, and facilitate smooth transitions throughout the evening.
His approach focuses on a hosting style tailored to the organizers' personalities and the desired atmosphere, rather than a constant presence on the microphone. Depending on the requirements, he can handle both the music and the hosting himself, or work alongside a separate host if the event’s structure calls for a specific division of roles.
At the wedding of Véronique and Joël, held at the Bank of Montreal Museum, the couple particularly appreciated his warm demeanor and the way he hosted their reception. They highlighted "a great balance between humor and professionalism"—an essential quality for supporting a wedding celebration without overshadowing the guests.
DJ Charley is also proficient in both French and English. For bilingual events, specific hosting requirements for each language can be discussed during the planning stages.
This flexibility allows him to adapt to a wide range of settings—from intimate weddings and corporate functions to student events and municipal activities.
A professional musical career since 2004
Charles-André Labbé’s passion for music has led him to develop skills that go well beyond the scope of a traditional DJ performance.
He began his career behind the decks in 2004 in Sherbrooke, primarily playing at student events. His keen interest in mixing techniques and his participation in DJ competitions gradually opened doors to nightclubs, helping him establish a name for himself on the local scene. Driven to master his craft, he went on to pursue several specialized training programs abroad.
In 2007, he traveled to Cannes, France, to study at the DJ Network school, where he further refined his mixing techniques. Two years later, in 2009, he continued his professional development at the Scratch DJ Academy in Miami, focusing on turntable skills and core DJing techniques. In 2012, he completed a program in music production at Musik Pro in Montreal, broadening his expertise in sound creation and production.
His experience also extends to radio, with contributions to InBeatRadio, CFAK 88.3 FM, and The BOSS Radio. Since 2020, he has also streamed various musical performances on Twitch, featuring genres such as Tropical House, Nu Disco, and rock.
Alongside his event work, he has collaborated on projects involving the production of mixes and remixes, sound branding, the training and mentoring of emerging DJs, and the technical coordination of events. Having performed at over 1,500 events since 2004, DJ Charley has gained a deep understanding of diverse audiences, musical styles, and the specific requirements of various types of engagements. This combination of practical experience and specialized training now enables him to offer services that range from general offerings to more specialized musical and artistic work.
The Disco Bros: DJ Charley and DJ David Nuke
DJ Charley also forms part of "Les Disco Bros," an explosive musical duo alongside DJ David Nuke—also known as Dave Vézina.
Instantly recognizable by their oversized afro wigs, colorful costumes, and infectious energy, the two DJs curate a sound centered primarily on Nu Disco, Funk, and Jacking House music.
Their concept is built on danceable rhythms, disco influences, funky grooves, and remixes that breathe new life into classic hits.
The duo frequently performs at festive events, bars, and festivals.
On July 14, 2026, Les Disco Bros were featured in the lineup for the Fête du Lac des Nations Promutuel Assurance in Sherbrooke, with a performance at 10:00 p.m. on the Bell Stage. DJ Charley and DJ David Nuke also share their musical style through various mixes, including their *FUNK-CAST* series, which is available on SoundCloud.
Les Disco Bros offer an artistic approach distinct from DJ Charley’s general DJ sets—an ideal choice for event organizers looking to create an original, highly festive, disco-infused, and funky atmosphere.
For a more elaborate production—including sound systems, spectacular lighting, giant screens, visual effects, decorations, or program coordination—Master D can assemble the necessary services to complement their performance.
Some notable performances and collaborations
Over the years, DJ Charley has taken part in a wide variety of public and private productions, either on his own or in collaboration with Master D and other event industry professionals.
DJ Charley and Master D: complementary services for your event
The collaboration between DJ Charley and Master D dates back more than a decade. As early as 2013, one of their first joint performances took place at the Hôtel Bonaventure in Montreal, during a celebratory evening at the PDW congress—a major gathering for the pharmaceutical industry. For that event, DJ Charley shared the decks with DJ Master D and DJ Wonder, forming a trio of DJs who took turns keeping the attendees dancing.
This collaboration exemplifies an approach that Master D still offers today for large-scale events: bringing together several DJs with complementary styles to diversify the musical programming and maintain a high-energy atmosphere on the dance floor.
Since then, DJ Charley has participated in numerous productions alongside Master D—including weddings, corporate parties, and public events—combining his musical expertise and hosting skills with the company’s technical and event-production resources.
When a project requires more than just a DJ performance, Master D can handle the planning, coordination, and technical production of the event. This includes sound reinforcement, architectural or stage lighting, microphones, audiovisual control, large screens, projection, and video displays.
Depending on the requirements, the team can also provide set design, decor, photography, video recording, webcasting, stage and structural installation, rigging, and sound reinforcement for musicians and live bands.
For dance events, Master D can also incorporate a Video Jockey (VJ) component, featuring music videos or visual effects displayed on large screens, tailored to the specific setup chosen.
This complementarity allows organizers to benefit from DJ Charley’s talent and experience, while entrusting the technical and logistical aspects to an event production team. Whether for a wedding, gala, conference, prom, or festival, these services can be combined into a production tailored to the specific needs of each event.
