Sometimes the word “legendary” is thrown about too hastily, but in reflection of Junior Vasquez’s DJing and production prowess during its peak in the Nineties (via New York/Europe), Junior Vasquez and Junior Vasquez’s career back then was well and truly it!
Commanding certain A&R’s decision making to always see Junior as their must-go-to-guy (at the time), was nearly an endless and ongoing trend. Because of this prestige and aura that surrounded Vasquez’s profile consistently, achievements and portfolio honours on Junior’s part included his controversial sampling of Madonna on his track called ‘If Madonna Calls,’ remixing global superstars and artists such as Moby, X-Press 2, Loleatta Holloway, Lisa Stansfield, Cher and the Spice Girls, and in more recent times establishing a well-sounded alliance with DJ/Producer Johnny Vicious, to remix ‘Gimme More’ by Britney Spears.
Michael Jackson, as well as many many others have used Junior Vasquez’s talents as a brilliant true addition to inject their own originals further into the club arena, whilst enhancing the longevity of their own Originals to carry it on as a musical staple for months and years to come.
Even though the renowned New York Sound Factory (where Junior Vasquez DJ’ed at) came and went by without not leaving many of its tales of folklore, ambience and mystic to still reminisce over, Junior in today’s era has changed his original clouded mindset from a subtle, but yet heavily dangerous narcotic completely and is focused more on his record label Junior Vasquez Music with DJing to all that fancy a bit of his outstanding retro, deep and electro tribal elements.
Oracle seeing in its hindsight, Junior has left a steadfast back catalogue of tremendous and spirited originals and remixes, so it’s with true calling that J.V. and M.J. are another in the world’s upmost most memorable music heroes.
