Favourite Artists
The best music for me, both as a dancer and a DJ, is  the rich and dense 'barrio sound' of the seventies  before salsa went all 'romantic'. Gems like Sonora
Poncena's birthday party, Markolino Diamond &  Frankie  Dante, Orlando Marin, Impacto Crea, Joe Batan,  Johnny Colon + 
many others of the classic Cotique era are simply  irreplaceable genre of music that I cherish deeply. 

 

Biography   


As a DJ I mix my sets in such a way that each song a  dancer hears shocks his or her system, expect the unexpected. I get comfortable being uncomfortable in
my selections. I always choose the craziest mix of  music, a mangu could follow Los Van Van which in  turn  could be followed by a classic Barreto. I have been
described by The Cherwell Magazine as 'wild card'  and  I am commonly known in London as 'the speed demon'.  Dancers who listen to my music not only get to dance
to hard salsa but they get exposed to the full  spectrum of this rich music from old to new, from  Cuban to New York.

My style is not specific to a certain genere of  salsa  e.g. contemporary Cuban but it is the 'mix'. The  elements that qualify to be in my mix for a night
are tracks that are: 

bullethard
bulletcutting edge
bulletcontemporary
bulletpushed the limit
bulletavant garde
bulletfresh.

 I guess my real objective when I DJ is to make people
 who can't dance want to dance.
