A DJ taught his retired parents the ropes on his decks - and now they host raves in their kitchen.

Phillip Yacovelli, 23, is a full-time DJ and decided to teach his parents how to use his decks in their spare time.

Retired Dominic Yacovelli, 58 and retiring librarian, Janine Yacovelli, 53, took to it straight away.

Now, the family, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, US, host rave sessions in the kitchen at any time of day.

Phillip, who makes house music under the group name EBC, said the idea came from nowhere - but was a triumph.

He said: "I graduated college and was still living at home with my parents."

"I was DJing all the time, and I suggested my parents hop on and play."

"They thought it was funny and said 'why not?'."

"They play maybe once a week, maybe more - they're not that good, but when they have free time they like to play around."

"They definitely bring a lot of energy when they're on the board, they get into it when they come to watch me play too."

"I mainly just let them mess around but I give them tips when they're playing, telling them what the different buttons do."

"They've never produced their own music but if I could get them onto that it would be pretty fun - maybe one day!"
