You reap what you sow and all that. RG and JV seem to be now. And as for Jonathan, I think he's gonna be juuuust fine!

    So true.JP can hold his own.I don't think the new SF party will work at all.I love Junior and JP.

    Think maybe Jonathan always drew a mixed crowd :idea:

    Think Jonathan doesn't close his parties to anything other then gay men???? :idea:

    What I like about JP he drew a mixed crowd,and when at SF the later it got more gays showed up.The energy was always positive.

    I'm sad that he is no longer there.

If it weren't for him, there would be no Sound Factory, and guess what if it werent for Junior, Jonathan Peters wouldn't have half the career he has now!

    But as I always say, If it weren't for Larry Levan their would be no Nightlife in NY. If you don't know who Larry Levan is get the book!

    Thats telling them!

    Long Live PARADISE GARAGE!!!! 1976-1987

    I ignore the haters,most of them are too young to understand.

Some kid was spinnin but he was good. JP showed at 10:00 or so. The place was packed.....good vibe and JP really out did himself. Being 2 hours late because he was stuck in traffic........ahhhhhh right but he ripped it till 2. He even acknowledged the crowd many of times throwing his hands in the air and clapping....never saw him crack a smile at Factory. Anyway....the music stopped and the whole place chanted ONE MORE SONG....ONE MORE SONG.....he played some crazy track and the place was crazy again.....all in all.....a good night

    Cool review,glad you had a great time.Can't wait to hear JP at Exit for new years.

  14. Late Junior@Soundfactory review.......

    in New York / New Jersey

    I almost did'nt go due to the snowstorm,but I was liike what the hell.Arrived at factory at 1:59am,had to paid the $30 bucks...grrrrrrrr anyhow once inside the music was pumping and the upper level was'nt crowded,but comfortable,felt kinda strange not hearing the music of Peters or seeing the regular crowd.The dance floor was packed and Junior was playing alot of house tracks from back in the day.The crowd was cool,some hot girls I must say.I'm a gayman but I love looking at beautiful women too.

    Some of the tracks Junior played which had me in a frenzie on the dance floor,Robert Owens-I'll be your friend,2 pr a dom and a blk man-Do it properly and countless others.Vivian Green's Emotional rollercoaster he turned it.I lost my mind when he played Moby's In this world,and when he looped the vocal part of the women holding the note for like 20 minutes,I almost cried,felt chills down my back,waving my hands in the air and screaming JUNIOR! JUNIOR!

    It was great talking with the security,I know like 4 of them since we all use to work at the factory back in 89 and the 90's.The performance of Rubio and Kidd was good,always love them and the drag performance,isn't that Anthony LaMont? love the way he carries on!

    Overall I had a blast,stayed until the end which was 4pm Sunday.

    ****There were no other dj playing in the basement,all you heard was the music of Junior.

    Can't wait for this weekend.

    Peace

    I remember when his videos were considered groundbreaking and sexually on the fringe back in the day on MTV.

    I don't recall reading as to why he passed away, I'm assuming natural causes...

    RIP brother

    His videos were awesome,the females with there slick black hair and the tight one piece minis and there face were done up.very sexual and clean,not like the videos you see today.

    He died from a heart attack.

    Fly Life

    by Tricia Romano

    Love Is the Message

    September 18th, 2003 6:00 PM

    very Friday night for the past four years, Danny Tenaglia has taken a 12-hour musical journey he calls Be Yourself, his party at Arc. A New York figurehead in the DJ universe, Tenaglia has fans who worship him with a near religious fervor—they follow his diet plans and voraciously read his lengthy posts on Dtourism.com, a fan site run by someone he's never even met. The amiable Queens boy typed out a 3,000-word manifesto for Fly Life, answering some silly questions and the big one about that other guy, Junior. Here's what we could fit.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    How long have you been a DJ? I discovered the "art" of mixing at age 11 and was overwhelmed. By age 15 I had a DJ setup and never turned back, so I would say about 30 years and "professionally" for about 20.

    What made you want to be a DJ? I always had an incredible passion for music—especially Motown and the Philly sounds of the MFSB orchestra. I also loved all instruments, mainly the piano and guitar, as well as tape recorders, and was extremely amazed by jukeboxes.

    If you weren't a DJ, what would you be? I would definitely aspire to be an actor. If not, then something for certain in the entertainment business.

    What is your favorite record ever? "Love Is the Message" by MFSB. It's a mini Broadway play to me. It is the mother of all House music. It can be heard in Madonna's "Vogue" and countless other spin-offs.

    How many rooms do your records take up? Do you have an organizational system for them? I have about 20,000 records that are now at my loft [in Long Island City]. I catalog the classics according to their labels. The newer stuff is according to its style.

    Tell me about your loft space. My loft is 6,500 square feet of pure bliss! The roof is also incredible, with its breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline. I consider it my second home since it also houses the original Shelter/Body & Soul/Vinyl sound system, which I had redone 100 percent.

    What accomplishment are you most proud of? Although I was nominated for a Grammy last year, being voted by my peers for the 2000 "DJ's DJ" award in Ibiza meant more to me than a Grammy nomination. I was also given a Lifetime Achievement award in the U.K. at the DanceStar Awards, but I still humbly feel too young for that one!

    Why was there a "feud" between you and Junior? When the original Sound Factory closed and then reopened as Twilo, Junior was not asked to DJ there. I am certain that this offended him, as his emotional ties with that room were obvious, since he helped originally build it from scratch. I was asked to play there along with many other DJs. As he was then the resident at the Tunnel, he was obviously not happy that I/we were right up the block at what he considered "his home." So, he once asked security to kindly ask me to leave the Tunnel when I visited his after-hours party there in '96. It was the media then that turned it upside down by asking: "Is it true that Junior threw you out of the Tunnel?" I had to set the record straight. So, for the record, no, there was never a verbal argument between us. After knowing Junior since the early '80s, I do hope to one day sit down and laugh at the past.

    Justin or Christina? I would not know either one if they passed me on the street. I can't even say I know one song by either artist! I do not watch MTV, I do not listen to radio, and I simply do not like bubblegum pop music. Let me know when a true new Stevie Wonder hits the airwaves again, then I'll turn on my radio.

    A reader wrote in and criticized you for banning cell phones and other gadgets, calling you a hypocrite since your party is named Be Yourself. Finally, he called you a "diva." Cell phones are brightly lit; people hold them up to the booth with messages of request to me, or take my photo without me even realizing it's a camera. It's rare, but I finally made an announcement saying that it was inconsiderate and disrespectful to me and the people dancing next to them. I'm now a target of "diva-ism"? (LOL) Well, I am not about that. All I want is what is respectable, considerate, and appropriate behavior.

    Last but not least: How the hell do you play for 12 hours straight? Are you mad?! It's easy when you're doing what you love the most. It's only once a week, although we are awake 16 hours per day, aren't we? And yes, I am mad—madly in love with the sound of the drums.

    HOLLYWOOD CA. NOT Avalon in NYC.

    Thanks to everyone who attended our 1st annual Labor day party (Launch-LA). It was a big success with over 1400 people attendance.

    PURESOUNDS is proud to host JUNIOR VASQUEZ doing an exclusive 6 hr set on 9/19 (friday) @ the NEW AVALON! See it...Hear it...Feel it...

    PURESOUNDS is proud to present this long and highly anticipated show for a long time. What else then to celebrate New York's legendary dj/producer JUNIOR VASQUEZ 6hr set on Friday Night at the NEW AVALON. Don't forget to be creative on this Night as Junior Vasquez costume ball will definitely unleash all the ghost and goblins. There will be full dynamic light/visual installation, party favors and giveaways from sponsors, innovative EAW line array sound. The most famous DJ in the world, NYC-based JUNIOR VASQUEZ, has become a legend in his own time. When the Paradise Garage and The Saint both closed in the late 80s, Junior emerged as the singularly most admired and followed DJ in NYC and later, the world. He co-founded the underground Bassline club and the legendary club world venues such as the Tunnel, Twilo, Arena @ Palladium and most recently, Earth (at Exit). No other DJ in the world has held the attention of such a demanding, musically savvy dance floor for over a decade. In addition, to this, he has written, produced and remixed songs for countless recording artists that include Madonna, Cher, Prince, Michael & Janet Jackson, Elton John, Pet Shop Boys, etc. This year he has managed to find the time to produce a numerous chart topping remixes, produce a series of unforgettable parties with record topping attendance's, make numerous (and rare) worldwide appearances.
