Special Notes |
· WKTU 103.5 FM, New York - Mixed Tape Contest Winner - My DJ career got a huge push when I entered and was a winner in KTU’s "4th of July Mixed Explosion Weekend.” My mixed set kicked off the entire party weekend, and aired for the two hour period (4 - 6 PM, Thursday, July 3, 1997). · Queer As Folk - Season 5 - Episode #504 - DJ Twisted Dee and I produced a remix for the track D1 featuring Lisa Hunt - "Joint Is Jumping." Our remix helped push the track to a peak position of #5 on Billboard's Dance Club Play Chart. Our remix was then featured on the June 5th, 2005 (Episode #504) of Queer as Folk. The song played during the final four minutes of the show. · DJ Jayito Hits #1 on BPM 81’s 331/3 Countdown - I produced an ‘additive’ remix to Madonna’s Hung Up, using the A-Teens track “Gimme Gimme Gimme.” My remix became the exclusively played version of Hung Up on BPM 81 and peaked at #1 (for 6 weeks) on their 331/3 countdown. |

Current Endeavors |
Throughout my DJ career, I have worked at many of the best gay venues in the NYC area, with a major focus on Long Island. I am currently looking to broaden my horizons and start focusing exclusively on producing my own dance tracks, remixes and commercially released mixed CDs. I am also looking to have my remixes and CDs promoted to and programmed on the big dance stations in the country, especially XM’s “BPM”, Sirius’s “The Beat” and Music Choice. In addition to producing my own original work, I would also like to begin DJing all around the country and beyond. My remixes, re-edits, and revamps are already featured on various radio stations, DJ shows, and DJ club appearances. |
