This mix is a different genre. You see,I've been through a lot lately and have embraced my faith which has laid dormant for quite a few years. I was inspired to create a music mix that would allow a spiritual outlet of inspiration and belief. This mix was put together to help me get through what has been a very difficult time in my life. Music has always been an escape for me and what better way to help me cope with things I couldn't even begin to understand. Music is spiritually uplifting; and this mix is sure to lift the mind, body, and soul. All through praise! With that said; I wish to share this mix with you. Hopefully, you will feel just as uplifted and you will spread the word through music. May this mix provide an outlet, crutch, or support for all who listen. God Bless All!-Big Rog

This next set is very unique. My younger brother's 40th Birthday recently passed. My sister in law asked me to make a danceable mix to hand out as party favorites during this special event. She tells me; and here's the catch, " Make it with songs from 1970!"
If we all know our history, the year 1970 was musically biased towards the historic events in our country. Many songs spoke of the Vietnam War, or Peace and Love. The Hippie Generation was still very much in full bloom. Rock filled the airwaves. The challenge, a dance mix!
So I did a little homework and Googled Billboard's Top 100 songs for 1970. The results: Niel Diamond, BJ Thomas, The Jackson 5, Frijid Pink, David Cassidy, James Taylor, Tony Orlando, The Carpenters, Santana, Norman Greenbaum, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, and many others. These were the familiar names of the year 1970. The challenge was to put them all in this mix and make it danceable.
Thankfully, I was also able to find a few current remixes of popular songs in 1970 and created a mixed salad of a dance mix. I also used some modern house beats from Frankie Knuckles (The Pressure), X-Form's Apollo 13 Radio Mix, a couple of Jackson 5 Remixes, Smokey Robinson's Tear's of a Clown Remix, Diana Ross Ain't No Mountain High Enough Remix, Deep House and Soul Minority's Ball of Confusion, Armand Van Helden's Flowerz, and a few more.
Because of the musical time period, this mix has a few different genres. Rock, Dance, House, Latin, Soul, Techno Beats, and even the character Roosevelt Franklin singing his Alphabet from the children's TV show Sesame Street. I also took the liberty to mix in actual audio footage of historic events from 1970. The Draft, The Vietnam War, The NY Knicks winning the NBA Championship, Apollo 13's crisis in space.
When listening you should all remember this mix is a birthday dedication. It starts out like a story, with an actual birth into the calender year and progresses onward noting many of the events and songs I have described above. It ends with a Chipmunk Birthday song.
So If you like house, rock, dance music, were born in 1970, love history, or you are just a music buff; I know you will appreciate and enjoy this mix!

I really had fun making this one. I put a bit of a spin on it to show how Latino influenced Freestyle music has it's roots in Soul. The rhythmic sounds and blaring musical diva's mesh as one to produce very tight melodies. If you close your eyes and actually LISTEN to the music, you will hear how the soulful vocals of the great African American Divas compliment and make these classic Freestlye songs sound completely different. You almost forget the original song and get hypnotized by the melodic sound.
When I made this I put lots of love behind it. I dedicate this to all the beautiful women that have touched my life throughout the years. Whether we attended school, work, hung out, danced, or just met in passing; this one's for all of you!
This is also a hit if you really love Latino influenced Freestyle or the Soulful sounds of Martha Wash, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Zhane, First Choice and a few more! Enjoy the music!

I felt a little nostalgic and was compelled to share a Holiday mix of songs mainly from my Puerto Rican Culture. For Puerto Rican's, Dominican's, and many other Hispanic countries; the Christmas Season is one of the most celebrated times of the year. The Hispanic culture recognizes this season straight through until January 6th. This is the feast of the Epiphany; when the Three Kings, or Tres Reyes Magos, visited the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem bearing gifts.
This collection of music comprises of many types: Salsa Music, Jibaro/Campesino Music, Merengues, Traditional Latin Christmas Folk Songs and Parranda Music. The artists featured are all old skool. (Did ya think I was giving ya'll a Regaeton Christmas!?!) Songs from such artists as Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon, Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, Conjunto Quisqueya and traditional folk music like The Little Drummer Boy, Mi Burrito Sabanero and many other popular hits.
These are all songs that I remember as part of my Christmas past and I continue to play them in my Christmas present and will always play them in the future. Now I'd like to share them with all of you! So sit back on your favorite plastic covered sofa, close your eyes and smell those pasteles cooking, and stare at your living room floor as the toys are scattered everywhere!(If I'm taking ya back...you know EXACTLY what I mean!!!) It's time for The Partywrecka's Musica Navidena De Puerto Rico. Let's celebrate the Holiday Season with a little Latino old skool tradition! Enjoy!

This next mix in my "Takin' Ya Back NYC Style" mixes takes you back to the origins of the Freestyle music genre. Many early and mid 80's classics encompass this mix. These were heard playing on NYC's hottest radio stations and in the clubs and skating rinks all throughout NYC. When many speak of freestyle classics, they often forget these were the pioneers that paved the way for the artists that performed in the late 80's and early 90's. A little mix to educate those not familiar with this genre or era. If a few seem lengthy it's becuse they are the extended mixes off the 12inch.

Alright now podcast members! Time to slow things down a bit! Recently, while chatting with an old dear friend about NYC radio personalities Frankie Crocker and Vaughn Harper; I became inspired to start a new series of mixes. DA SLOW JAMZ. So a big thank you to my old buddy Daphne! Crocker and Harper were both known for their "Quiet Storm" or "After Dark" sessions of late night music. They both played a weekly radio series of smooth groove collections. The songs they played were relaxing and sensual melodies, mostly of the R&B genre. Many of us back in the day looked forward to hearing these sessions late at night. These hits often tucked us into bed. Either we fell asleep or kept going! You all know EXACTLY what I mean!
The song's I have chosen for this first mix were songs that were VERY, VERY, GOOD TO ME! ;0) They bring back great memories for me and I hope they will do the same for you. So with that said, I want you to sit back, relax, meditate, what the hell; even masturbate! If we're lucky we can make some good loving, and/or even make some babies! This collection of smooth grooves will definitely take you back, pick up your slack, and at this age; hopefully NOT give you a heart attack!
Enjoy! Did I forget to mention these songs were VERY, VERY, GOOD TO ME! - The Partywrecka.

This next installment in my "Takin' Ya Back NYC Style" series covers my first love of music. The Hip Hop genre. The mix covers the time when Hip Hop music went mainstream, the early 90's.

The Hip Hop world began to flourish outside of NYC and other urban cities. This mix provides a combination of smooth grooves, party music, and hardcore hip hop.

One Love Worldwide! - The Partywrecka

This next mix in my "Takin' Ya Back NYC Style" collection is all about the "British Invasion" to hit the music scene during the 80's. As a Bronx youth, my memories of this era were my constant trips to Greenwich Village via the #6 subway and the station announcement of arrival; hence the title, "The Next Stop is Astor Place." This style of music, coupled with it's particular fashion trends of clothing and hairstyles; was embraced by a large group of inner city kids. This mix contains songs of different styles within the genre of New Wave itself. Both Pop & Club hits are featured in the mix; notably the very hard to find," A Letter From Afar, by B Movie; which became a New York City classic during this time. Culturally diverse and always dynamic. That statement best describes the youth and music during this era. So without further ado I present to you my latest installment in the "Takin' Ya Back NYC Style" series of old school music. Enjoy!

This next mix in my "Takin Ya Back NYC Style" series is an R&B / Soul collection of hits. Whether on a basketball court, hanging in a park, commuting on a bus or subway; these songs were heard playing on boomboxes or pulsating from the headphones of any Walkman player. This soul genre of music was as much fused with the hip hop scene as both genres were often mixed together. The dominant NYC radio stations, popular DJ's, and the early days of video; only showcased these popular artists to the NYC youth. So without further ado; sit back, kick back, or jump out of your seats! The Partywrecka is takin ya back to a time when this particular genre of music truly lifted your SOUL! Enjoy!
