If you're trusting someone with the soundtrack to your wedding day, your school's biggest dance, or your business's biggest night, you want to know they've done this before — at a level most DJs never reach.

That's not a side credential — it's the foundation of how he approaches every wedding, every school dance, and every private event: read the room, build the energy, and never miss a beat.

The Story

Known professionally as DJ James Jaxin, Aran Arms got his start with a small company in Waukesha, Wisconsin, learning to read a crowd and blend genres seamlessly long before the big stages came calling. That early experience caught the attention of the Milwaukee Bucks, where James now performs for 16,000-plus fans every home game — and it's the same instinct for pacing a room that shows up at every wedding reception and school dance he DJs today.

From there, the resume kept growing. James became the tour DJ for the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), bringing his sound to bowling events across the country, and made guest DJ appearances for Marquette Golden Eagles Basketball. In 2024, he was named the official DJ for Wisconsin Badgers Basketball, bringing his signature energy to the Kohl Center. In 2025, he added the Milwaukee Brewers & Wisconsin Badgers Football to his roster as the in-game DJ at American Family Field and Camp Randall Stadium.

James holds a special place in his heart for his hometown of Milwaukee, where he's performed at Summerfest — the largest music festival in the world — and headlined the 2023 Wisconsin State Fair. Behind the scenes, he also serves as a setlist curator and remixer for Heavy Hits record pool, shaping tracks used by DJs across the country.

Today, alongside his sports and festival work, James brings that same big-stage experience to weddings across Milwaukee, Madison, and greater Wisconsin, as well as high school homecomings, proms, and private events. The difference between a DJ who just plays music and one who commands a room of thousands comes down to instinct — and it's that instinct couples and event planners are really hiring when they book James Jaxin.
