If my memory serves me correctly, between the years 1998 and 2002, I'd heard Junior Vasquez DJ at various clubs roughly 75 times or so. When he was ON, he was a mind melting turntable master and remixer that blew us through the stratosphere week after week after week. And yes, a lot of drugs were in the mix too. When he was in a bad mood for whatever reason, he made a lot of terrible noise on purpose to clear the crowd out. I got off the boat when he started screwing over his fans and contemporaries in 2002. I figured that he just faded into obscurity since other DJs started musically kicking his ass all over and his appearances were to empty clubs. But this 2010 disk is a pretty good representation of what he MIGHT have sounded like if he still cared back then. Pummeling beats and top notch tracks, vocals and music. He's since retired and his career never seemed to recover after his rise and ultimate crash in the mid 2000's.
