Club 412

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:32:58 CDT

For the past 3 years I have been enjoying working every 3rd Saturday of the month at Club 412. Every 2nd and 3rd Saturday is a dancer's paradise with three rooms of dancing with three different DJs, there is a hustle room, a room for ballroom dancing and of course a room for Latin dancing. It's something different, but it's a real friendly and safe environment. The festivities start at 8pm with dance lesions for the first hour, 9pm to 2am nonstop dancing.

Choco Orta's new album "Choco Swing"

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 08:53:28 CDT

Hard hitting!!!, Salsa Dura!!!, is what best describes Choco Orta's new album "Choco Swing" and this album truly swings. I have many of her past projects and have the good fortune to have also seen her perform. This album has become one of my favorites. She has the swagger that I love in a Salsa singer, she also has an awesome voice and she is also one hell of a Musician. This album takes off from the first track to the last. The dancers will really love the energy that this album displays. My favorite tracks are, Lo Que No Sirve Se Bota, Yo No Pido Na, De Repente and Cuidate De La Lengua. Pick this album up, you will not be disappointed.

No.1 Front Street

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 08:31:27 CDT

After promoting Monday Night Afterwork Latin Night at No.1 Front Street Brooklyn for the past year, I decided to walk away from the venue. I started promoting at No.1 Front Street primarily because of the lack of suitable venues available in Manhattan and also because I wanted to have an additional place for people to go dancing.

The Spanish Harlem Orchestra

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:34:35 CDT

Swinging is the best way that I can describe this new project from The Spanish Harlem Orchestra. It is no wonder that this album won the 53 Grammy Award for best Tropical Latin Album. Oscar Hernandez Bandleader and genus again has outdone himself. This album swings from the first song to the last. I love each and every number on this album, but I do have a few favorites, which are, La Salsa Dura, Mi Herencia Latina, Como Baila Mi Mulata, Baila Latino and Regalo De Dios. - DJ Jeff

The Way It Was

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 15:12:21 CDT

Back in the early 90's I came into the Salsa scene full force. There were so many places to go Latin Dancing during the 90s. I spent most of my time in the Bronx, learning and playing at some of the premier Night Clubs in the Bronx, the "Chez Sensual Night Club", "Club Tapestry" and "Side Street". The Bronx was considered "The Condado De La Salsa"; this is where all of the best dancers came to dance from all boroughs of the city. In the summer there was Orchard Beach and after the beach there was Side Street after beach party. Manhattan was also featuring some really hot Latin dance spots, the Copacabana, Broadway 92, The Roxy, The Palladium and many more. It was awesome during the 90's and I loved being part of the Salsa music explosion.

Keeping It Going

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 15:37:23 CST

The last six months of 2010 was so hard to deal with, with the lost of my beast friend and partner DJ Rene Santiago. Somewhere down the road I realized that I had to move on. July of 2010 I started a new promotion in Brooklyn "No.1 Front Street" Monday's Afterwork Latin Dance Party, which still continues each and every Monday. August 2010 I celebrated my Birthday and asked DJ Jose Calderon to play a little for me so I could enjoy my birthday. That was one of the best decision that I could ever had made.
