JUNIOR SANCHEZ - XMIX/CUBE REC., NYC

No stranger to the flattery of being imitated, Producer/DJ Junior Sanchez stands way above the overgrown crowd of Pop-Punk and Electro DJs in the US and the world around. The best explanation for this? Im not a Pop-Punk or Electro DJ! he exclaims. Indeed, his many styles and diverse tastes in music breathe life into his sets and bring freshness to the dance floor that is rarely duplicated.

When it comes to music, its all about tomorrow baby states Sanchez, whose sets, studio tracks and remixes often take electronic music at large into another realm. His forward-looking philosophy, however, does not eclipse the fact that this mans yesterday is more impressive than most DJs in the world could ever hope for.
