MISSION

I am a New Yorker who by a universal mistake was born in Russia and had to cross continent and then traverse US
to finally find a city with a heartbeat that matched mine.
No other city embraced me. In Moscow I was too outspoken, in Miami too fast, in Chicago too daring.
New York City gave me life.
Its heart and spirit will be forever young as its blood is
always renewed with fresh talent. Dreamers and critics, romantics and seekers, performers and transformers from all over the world strive to make a mark in NYC. Creative renewal is in the air we breathe and every generation of New Yorkers has its own art, nightlife, and social scenes that evolve continuously. Keeping up with all events that are shaping this city is a challenge, but I will try to bring you the fascinating, the beautiful and the outrageous in New York City nightlife with an emphasis on underground electronic music scene which happens to be my favorite fantasy land.
Expect the unexpected

Junior's World


Mr. Vasquez is not a DJ, he is a master of ceremony. I have been in awe of this man for more than 10 years and he does not stop surprising me. He is a teacher, a preacher, a lover all rolled into one. He will make you lose yourself, he will make you forget about cigarettes, bathroom, your boyfriend...He will pull you in and let you go only when he desires. His power, his love of music and his control of the crowd will never be repeated. He watches every move of the crowd, he will test you, he will twist you and he will open you up, he is always in control. In a course of a night, somehow he will make you face the truth you didn't want to see and he does it through music. Vocal after vocal, classic but fresh, he had the whole Cielo jumping for 5 hours straight. No he is not a composer per se, but he will touch you as deep as Vangelis, Mercury and even Beethoven.

Vasquez is a mystery. He knows magic, he is very connected to the spiritual world, and he shares his powers with us. Vasquez provokes feelings and thoughts like no other. And like a cat he has more lives than you can imagine, because just when you are ready to write him off he reinvents the sound together with himself. Vasquez can purr and he can scratch and if you are wise you should never write him off. If you are a DJ then listen and learn and if you just love music then lose yourself in Junior's world while you can. This man strolled beyond brilliant and genius long time ago. He is a master, a magician and father to many club children. What an inspiring individual.
Mr. Vasquez...from the bottom of my heart, from a very sacred place that is rarely touched by others Thank You! May you live a very long life!
