Mobile Beats Entertainment (MBE) has been in existence for sixteen years and based on current and previous satisfaction surveys and feedback of our clients, many of which are repeat customers, we plan on being around for quite some time. MBE is a "small" DJ company, operated by Kenny "DJ K-Flow" Pantophlet and his tight knit family of DJs/Emcees. 

MBE is the brainchild of Kenny Pantophlet (pronounced: pan-toew-flet ) and the name Mobile Beats Entertainment is exactly what the name implies: good music on the go, no matter what or where the occasion. At MBE we realize that music plays a crucial part in making any event memorable and special and we try to simplifying the entire process. From the DJ search to the music selections to the actual event, MBE is here to transform your party dreams and fantasies into an effortless, smooth and enjoyable affair. If it's an elegant wedding or a simple family reunion, MBE know how important a role music plays in the planning of your event. MBE experience is always tailored making your music plans come to life, so you can focus on what's really important: entertaining and enjoying the company of your guests. This site is designed to help us help you in achieving those goals. Welcome to our world.


Music has always been an extension of Kenny's life and in the music of MBE he has set out to inject a special kind of rhythm into parties.  One of the reasons Kenny started MBE, was at parties he attended it always seemed that the DJ(s) pretty much played what he wanted, with a couple of request thrown in to keep the crowd at bay just long enough to get him through the event. MBE makes every effort not to be the focal and vocal point of any event, but prefer to be the instrument of what you envisioned your affair to be. MBE doesn't aspire to any Cirque De Soleil circus tricks on the dance floor and MBE doesn't parade the Radio City Rockettes at your event. MBE has absolutely nothing against that type of entertainment and on occasion we've enjoyed it as much as anyone else. However, MBE prefers to see you and your guests on the dance floor rather than having you watch paid dancers strut their stuff. You have plenty of your own "stuff" to strut and MBE provides the music for you and your guests to do so. Kenny's background is engineering and the attention to detail of that discipline has carried over into his DJ enterprise. From the moment a prospective client contacts MBE, Kenny focuses on all the not-so-little details that he knows will eventually be your big picture. Behind the scenes, he works tirelessly with the other DJs to find the right music selections for every event and for every different situation. He meets with the client and make calls to the other professional vendors to assure that everyone sees the client's big picture. At events, he's often seen walking around and mingling with guests, just trying to figure out what's working, what's not working, what's making them smile and getting an overall impression. He then returns to the DJ booth and make all the necessary adjustments. Kenny expects much from his DJs, not only because the clients expects much of Mobile Beats Entertainment, but because Kenny always expects much of himself.

Tyke started to help Kenny out transporting and setting up equipment in his college days. Tyke was usually there to have a good time and after he had completed his duties, helping Kenny set up, Tyke would disappear among the crowd; working them like a politician on a campaign trail. Once the music started Tyke was in the middle of the dance floor doing guest participation dances, showing the guests the latest dance floor moves and generally making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Kenny is sure that was the only time Tyke actually worked up an honest sweat! But Kenny actually took notice and was impressed that Tyke made people laugh and helped break down barriers and inhibitions. Kenny, of course, took advantage of this talent and made Tyke the official MC (Master of Ceremonies) at all his events. Tyke has a BS degree in communication and worked as a college radio DJ in college (Virginia Beach, VA) and did a stint in radio communications after that. But he missed the interaction with the crowds and subsequently asked Kenny to branch out to Maryland, where he settled after college. With over 12 years experience, including weddings, college functions/parties, High School parties, family reunions and corporate office parties, Tyke intends to bring MBE's special kind of music to your next event.

Darwin "DJ" Benavides may have started a trend circa 1980 with his weekly summer house parties. Those were the heyday of Disco and House music and there always was an assortment of Salsa, Meringue and Bachata all mixed into one evening for the varied crowd. DJ was literally the house DJ, because the parties were always at his parent's home and he always played the first and last song. These are the parties that Kenny attended to learn the music and how to dj. Darwin took some personal time off from DJing to join the "real" world and start a family and it wasn't until years later, when Kenny was searching for additional help for the upstart MBE, did he decide to return to DJing. Although much had changed during his absence, Darwin has never missed a beat upon his return and he was able to pick up right where he had left off. His technical skill and music experience has enabled MBE to continue to provide its customers with generations of classic party music, that to this day, have meant so much to us growing up. Darwin, to this day, remains the house DJ.

"DJ"

MBE's latest addition to their staple of DJs is younger brother, Rod Pantophlet. Rod also goes by his DJ name, "Renegade Master", because unlike the other DJs who are more beatmixers, the Renegade Master does all the "scratching" Hip-Hop and battle DJs are popular for. He will have to learn to apply those skills to cds and mp3 audio, because Kenny has decided to keep the entire vinyl collection in the basement, for now. Rod relocated from Dallas, TX, where he spent many years following college. No doubt he'll bring a different type of "Southwest" feel to MBE's already multi-cultural music selection, but it's certainly a challenge MBE will be incorporating in their music sets.
