BOARDING THROUGH THE RED CARPET!

STILL BOARDING!...

YAMI OF YAMI EVENTS...AND CESAR...FOUNDER OF PURE CASH MAG!

ERIC149 & JAY HOLLYWOOD HOLDIN' IT DOWN...

First and foremost thank GOD!…And thank you all who believed in the project from day one!…I want to thank my beautiful better half Lissette,Yami of YAMI EVENTS,Robert AKA CAPT. ROBERT OF THE RIVER SHIP,Cesar AKA FIDEL OF PURE CASH MAG, DJ Riot, DJ Junior Tec,Uli 149,Claudia V.,Indio,Alma B.,Louise of PM LIMOS,Jimmy Ace,Abner & Fam,Linda V.,Hernan of Mojitos Ultra Lounge,Who’s Hot Orlando,MY NY 149 FAMILIA,my brother Felix aka F/X149,Big Chris & Brother Ed,Josh of NY STREETS a Hip Hop Shop In Deltona fl! ,Diana and Anne of Munekawear!…without all of your involvement who knows where we would be.

Success for lack of a better word is the key factor to this historic night. No ones perfect, but when you have a sell out crowd on a River Ship in Central Florida the feeling is overwhelmingly heart felt!…it felt like a religious experience, an epiphany even!. I would like to share with you some of the things that occurred from day 1,to the evening of May 21st 2010, and of course, the closing of the night.

I don’t want to bore any of you with how it all began since the New York Streets and yada yada yada…that’s been done. I’ll just get straight to it…Apples & Oranges (THE BIG APPLE IN THE ORANGE STATE!)….an Idea i had when I first stepped foot in Orlando. I still had New York Promo Fever!…I wanted My NY DJs to Battle the Floridian DJs!…I wanted that more than anything at the time!..I pitched it around my fellow DJ acquaintances some said yes, but the majority said Hell No!…seems like no one wants to Battle Much anymore. At the time I was very disappointed, but I kept it moving, thus…Apples & Oranges!…only this time, it wasn’t a battle, it ended up on a boat! but we did manage to fly over a NY DJ…New York’s Underdog DJ JUNIOR TEC! to be alongside Florida’s Underdog DJ Riot!…together they formed “THE PROFESSIONALZ!”…a new DJ Line up that consists of 10 + years experience and skill!..by the way..these two are not alone!…they have other members that you probably already know, you’ll hear more about that in the near future, right now its “Rock The Boat!…a title DJ Riot thought of while designing the graphics to this event!…flawless…

I thought to my self…”There’s only a hand full of club owners and promoters that helped me in the past”…I needed a venue…In the past the only other two places I promoted was Pounders, and Mirage here in Florida…I did more in NY…but here in Central Florida you get what I call the Smiley Faces!…you get so many Smiley Faces 8)…ALL DAY!…AND SO MANY YES MEN!..YES YES YES!..WHAT EVER YOU SAY,WHAT EVER YOU LIKE..YES YES YES…BUT NO DELIVERY!…I SHOULD NAME NAMES BUT I WONT! ,BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU GUYS ARE!…some of you met with me , some through Facebook, and some through phone and text. You all didn’t believe in me and my ability’s but in retrospect… GOOD!…when the grass is cut you can see the snakes!…thank you so very much for revealing yourselves early so that I didn’t get into some damage I couldn’t walk away from!. On that note…lets go to phase 2!

THE TEAM!…you cannot do anything alone!…without a team, you might as well pack it in!…go build a clubhouse or some sh*t!…and it cant be just any team, you have to surround yourself with positive no non-sence people!…and this is where Yami and Yami Events come in…if you want an organized event of any capacity, there’s nothing she cant handle. Merging with Yami Events has been a major piece to the One4nine puzzle. Excellence is her presence when she’s working an event!,attention to detail baby….there’s nothing like it!…Strong women make the world go round…my Fiance Lissette keeps me focused and on my toes, Diana of Munekawear is an administrative innovator, Mellisa of the River ship is a Strong Management Leader!, and how can I forget Louise of PM LIMOS!…omg!,,,very precise, very accurate in execution, and pleasant to work with!…for any transportation needs,,,thats my girl!…now the fellas…Cesar Houdini!…lol…aka Fidel Cash Flow…aka Cesar G.,aka Founder of Pure Cash Mag!…You want precision, you want more excellence, you want flawlessness?…ask Cesar….and maybe if your real enough…you may get some help!…same with DJ Riot & Tec…no matter how many HATERS they have, and they have plenty!…do they ever stop or slow down?…NOPE!…love working with those guys…than of course the new editions to the One4nine Familia….Ulysses & Alina B….you guys did your magic and put the finishing touches to this past “Rock the Boat experience…Like I said…with a Great Team…whos’ gonna stop you?!…I also want to recognize the one4nine team in NY…from Club Ownership to various endeavours….we still have plenty of work to do!

OK now..lets talk about the River Ship Romance!…from Brunch,Lunch,and Dinner…and now…”NIGHTCLUB!”…Captain Robert knows how to make you feel welcome!..located at 433 n Palmetto ave in Sanford, a 25+ year old business opened there doors to One4nine & Yami Events…RED CARPET STYLE!…THEY LITERALLY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET FOR US!…you have to respect that!…mind you they have never catered to this kind of CLUB LIFE crowd!…very brave thing to do, and with a sellout crowd which included two huge CHARTER BUSES, AND NO MORE PARKING LEFT!…IT COULD HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMING!…what did they do instead?…they joined the Rush!…SIDE BY SIDE AND HAND BY HAND!…EVEN THE CAPTAIN WAS SERVING BOTTLES!…the rush was so chaotic at one point we had to literally get our hands wet!….the V.I.P. was sold out!…people were sitting at tables that were reserved for other people, the V.I.P. become so cluttered, we had to open up a whole new section of V.I.P.!…the food was excellent and the drinks were amazing!…the only thing I can truly say we lacked was MAN POWER!….a staff of less than 10 had to cater to over 200 people on a boat!…with only 2 security Personnel, we really had to stay super focused!…besides a little scuffle we defused and a drunk lady who had to be babysat…the security personnel held it down!…as time progressed,and the people found their relax spot it was smooth sailing from there!…with DJ Tec & Riot on the second level, and DJ D-Roc & Dj NZO on the 1st Level…the music was impeccable!…2 levels of sexy music from top 40’s, to Old Skool, to anything that made the crowd move!….in the end…everyone on every level had a BLAST!…making this the Only Nightclub On the water in Central Florida!…if history taught us anything its that it repeats itself!…

Yes it will be imitated by others…but we pioneered this!…and no one can ever take that away from us!…

Once again thank you all who believed, thank you all who doubted us, AND thank you all who made “Rock The Boat” a SUCCESS!

Nasty Beatmakers

Fame — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:42:49 +0000

Nasty Beatmakers, consisting of brothers DJ Nasty, and LVM have made quite a name for themselves! Amongst all their accolades, they brought back a Grammy plaque back to Orlando! Get to know the Nasty Beatmakers:

PCM: Were you born in Cuba or the U.S.?
DJ Nasty: Cuba. We came to the U.S. in 1978. Our father was in the navy and wanted a change in scenery.

PCM: Who is the little brother?
DJ Nasty: I Am
PCM: Are you married or single?
Both: in a relationship

PCM: Any kids?
DJ Nasty: I have a 4 year old.
LVM: I have a 7 year old boy.
PCM: When was your first production?
DJ Nasty: I did a record on my own for Krayzie Bone called “Thug Love.” It was done on an MPC 60, but the real official record that The Nasty Beatmakers did was for Fat Joe –on the Jealous Ones Envy album called ‘Wildlife’ feat Xzibit – that was our first major breakthrough
PCM: How did you get hooked up with that?

DJ Nasty: We knew Fat Joe for a minute. DJ Khaled started bonding with Joe in Miami and I sent Khaled a beat to play for Joe and it was on and poppin’ since then.
PCM: If you had to give credit to one person for where you’re at now who would it be?
DJ Nasty: GOD! And myself for hard work and dedication .
PCM: What has been your biggest accomplishment to date?
DJ Nasty: The Grammy. Winning the Grammy – I don’t think it gets any bigger than that! (LVM agrees)
PCM: If you could go back in time what is one thing that you would have done different?
DJ Nasty: Be more vocal! I’m kind of a laid back quiet dude.
PCM: What advice would you give to up and coming producers and artists?
LVM: Establish relationships and keep them. If you meet somebody and it didn’t pan out right there, it may later, so be sure not to burn any bridges.

DJ Nasty: Be into your craft and try to be original. Do something that stands out, go hard and keep in tune with what’s out there, be original.

PCM: What’s the first thing you look for when an artist gives you a CD?
DJ Nasty: His flow, his originality, its got to sound good, if it doesn’t sound right it’s a bad impression.
PCM: What is in your CD deck in your car?
DJ Nasty: Snoop Dogg’s 1st album, and Kane West’ new album.

LVM: Kanye, and the the Ludacris album that got us the Grammy, I like to always remind myself of that.
PCM: Who are your 3 favorite artists in the game right now?
DJ Nasty: T.I., Ludacris, & Lil Wayne.

LVM: Ludacris, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z
PCM: DO you think that Orlando will ever be seen as a music Mecca like Georgia and now Miami?
DJ Nasty: Yeah I think it will get there eventually. There’s alt of talent out here but we all got to bond together – we can’t be so separated.

PCM: Who do you think are the top 5 power players in Orlando right now?

DJ Nasty: – The Runners, Nasty Beatmakers, Prostyle, Dawgmann, & Frontline promotions.

PCM: What is the biggest misconception that people have about you?
DJ Nasty: A lot of people like just as of the last 2 years think that I don’t give them a fair shot of getting them radio play or getting them out here. I don’t want people to think that I’m the only outlet. If you’re an artist- go hard! I always use Treal as an example because they are the last group out of Orlando who started on the streets and just got signed. They started at the club and then the radio and became a big huge smash

PCM: Do you think vinyl is still important?

DJ Nasty: I hate to answer that because I grew up on vinyl but the game has changed! I get all my new music on CD’s and mp3s. Serrato changed the game!

PCM: What do you think is the best digital service to get yourself exposure on the net?

DJ Nasty: Digiwaxx, and new music server

PCM: Should we be surprised if we hear about you in Superhead’s next book?
DJ Nasty: (laughs) – Na -I don’t even get down like that.

LVM: Na

PCM: What did you have for breakfast today?
DJ Nasty: I never eat breakfast

LVM: Toast w cinnamon sugar, remember that?

PCM: What’s your favorite restaurant in Orlando?
DJ Nasty: Kres

LVM: Kobe
PCM: What’s your favorite drink?
DJ Nasty: Mojito – it’s a Cuban drink, its real island, real refreshing – Fat Joe put me on to it

LVM: I love beer, any type!

PCM: If you were to describe yourself in one word what would it be?
DJ Nasty: Real

LVM: Ghost

PCM: What’s the best way for someone to contact you?
DJ Nasty:myspace.com/djnasty, or email at irocknasty@aol.com, myspace.com/nastybeatmakers.
PCM: Any last words/ or shout outs you’d like to leave us with?

DJ Nasty: Be on the lookout for production by us on the new Ludacris album, Lil Wayne – The Carter 3, where we produced “I’m Me,” and on new projects from Juelz Santana, Rick Ross, Briscoe, and Baby. Shout outs to The Runners, and Khaled! – We got the game on smash right now! It’s looking real good and you can thank Orlando for it, believe that!

DJ RIOTT “MERRENGUETON 2010″ MIX CD

CG — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 02:54:58 +0000

Very rarely do I personally co-sign a mixtape or any music at all for that case. Not so much because it may not be good but due to time constraints I don’t have a lot of time to actually sit down and listen to all the music that gets sent. However, in the middle of doing some renovations, I happen to get this CD sent over to me and I popped it in the CD deck. I must honestly say that I let the cd play on repeat over and over and over and … well , you get the point. I’m from the old school – when people used to call a mix cd something that actually was mixed. Not to knock any DJ’s who don’t mix – lord knows that times have changed but it’s still nice to see that there are still DJ’s who really take the time to not only mix the songs together but also mix acapellas with different genres. That is what Dj Riott has done with this CD with a full hour of pure mixology for the hip hop/ spanish music lovers delight. He definitely put some time and effort into this project and it shows!

Heres a little about DJ RIOTT:

Born in the boogy down Bronx, New York As a young adult he moved to Kissimmee. “It was like putting a DJ in club country, wow the party scene was dead back then.” Still making the best out of the situation he started rocking house parties and has been leaving his foot prints ever since. Now graduating to clubs and radio like Elements, Tight Racks, and Mojitos and on Wheel Up Radio 93.5 FM on Saturdays from 12-2pm DJ Riott continues to rock crowds of all types from Merengue, Bachata, Reaggaeton to Reaggae, R&B and Hip Hop.
With this latest mix tape Merengueton 2010, he brings the best of the Latin genre with a touch of hiphop together for a whole 60 min. His skills and humble attitude as brought him this far and is a DJ you should be looking for.

My dad actually gave me my very 1st set of turntables & with big brothers as DJ’s…well the rest is history. Its kinda cool being around my older brothers now & them talking about how proud that they are of me that I stuck with it.

At what point did you know that DJing is something that you wanted to do ?

I have to honestly say…and this is being straight up…I’m not even sure if dj’ing was ultimately what I wanted to do or whether it became my way in. Don’t get me wrong, I have a strong passion for it; but I think that the entertainment industry as a whole is a much deeper passion for me.

How did you get the title Tampa’s most connected DJ?

It actually started out as a marketing move in the beginning. But as I began to really make a few moves, it became evident that the connections were what was really missing from a lot of what I wanted to do.

What are some differences and similarities between Orlando and Tampa?

Orlando’s scene is a little more touristy to me, whereas Tampa seems to have a bit more of a local scene going here. I guess that I’m speaking from a musical standpoint more so than anything though. I will have to say that when I lived in Orlando, I never heard as much local music as I tend to hear in Tampa.

What is the local music scene like in Tampa?

The local scene here is a little confusing to me here in Tampa. On the one hand you have a lot of records that are huge in this market but they can’t seem to get out of the city. Then on the hand you have to wonder at what point does someone deeply involved in it take a stand and really go for making it a movement?

Who are some power players in your city?

I’d have to say my PD Ron Shepard (WBTP 95.7 The BEAT) & Wild’s PD Orlando are two pretty big power players here. Competition aside, they both sit in some pretty big chairs when it comes to the music ultimately being heard by the masses here in Tampa. I’d also have to say Plies because his movement speaks for itself. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of cats doing their thing here; its just that these three dudes come to mind right now.

What would you say has been the highlight of your career thus far?

Getting the gig at the BET Soundstage in Orlando. That was the start of my movement here in Florida. Everything else came after I got that BET look.

Tell us a little bit about your non for profit organization….

It’s called ConnXions & its built upon the premise of teaching young adults the power of building relationships…one handshake at at time. I think that we’ve spent so much time with teaching kids that they need this education, this bit of technology, etc. that we forgot about the simplest act of just being a good person first & how to interact & build with other people. That is what ConnXions is striving for…relationship building. You can find out more about it at www.ConnXions.org.

As a seasoned and well known DJ – what advice can you give up and coming artists and deejays trying to make their mark?

Do YOU first. You have to be the best YOU that you can be before you can be anything else. Also, you have to believe; because if you don’t, how can you expect anyone else to? And lastly, let your word mean something. Be a stand-up individual and no one can ever take that away from you.

What’s the worst mistake you think an up and coming artist can make?

Not reading up on an industry that they claim that they want to be a part of and thinking that its a DJ’s JOB to play THEIR music.

What the best way a local artist can get their music to a club DJ with hopes of getting spins?

I would say build a relationship & just give it to them. Most DJ’s aren’t the bad guy…but it needs to be understood that just because you give a DJ your music, he/she isn’t obligated to play your music.

DJ Junior TEC Mi Reggaeton Latino Vol.15 The Review by Eric149

Eric149 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:05:13 +0000

I’ve listened to this in full detail, and I’ve been listening to this DJ for 15 years now. When I was told to Review his latest work, I jumped at the opportunity!, not only because I’m a fan, but because this was yet another opportunity to separate business and pleasure, believe me it’s not as easy as people say it is.

When I first heard that Dj Junior Tec has crossed over, I was devastated!, I was thinking “ how can the person who’s music I admire go from the Master Hip Hop Blends to Reggaeton?”, let me explain. I’m a big Hip-Hop fan!,to my opinion, no one blended Hip Hop better than J-Tec…his classic blends #3 and #5 should have gone platinum!, he continued on and on way past 10, and started a series of Spidey-Blends…but Reggaeton?…It was almost that feeling everybody felt when MC Hammer went Gangsta’, It just didn’t make sense. Until…

I actually heard it!…I’m not gonna lie, It took many years before I accepted Reggaeton and really took it in…the first Reggaeton Cd I ever heard was by Famous Mix-tape DJ Double R…and what I found amazing is that he uniquely blended it with Hip-Hop almost to perfection, that was in 2004!, so ever since than, the only way I enjoyed Reggaeton was with Hip Hop Blends and mashup’s!,until years later of course, although I do put Hip Hop first, Reggaeton will not be ignored, especially here in Orlando, Have you seen these clubs lately?, Reggaeton to my surprise is here to stay, you have to admire that, or at least respect it.

So here we are 5 years later, me at the office, in the Car, Family functions, just listening to DJ Junior Tec’s “Mi Reggaeton Latino Vol. 15″…I have to tell you, when you here this, you have to have some leisure time, this is not made for dancing, this is made for listening!…some tracks will move you, but not all!…he puts on a couple of Island Tracks/Reggaeton that will definitely move you,(unless you’re dead from the neck down),you’ll have no choice, but the other tracks are mainly what I call…Inspirational, you know…you listen,you bop your head, you drive, etc…

The tempo stood at pace up until track 9 and 10…he has many exclusives on this CD, which pretty much means not many DJs have it, he also gets an occasional drop by Alexis y Fido. He also put in some of his own beats, and blended that in the mix, he put in his signature “Junior Tec!” fade-away…Overall…this piece was good, It wasn’t great only because of expectations!, you will definitely enjoy the music, and the way it was put together, but loving it would be a different story on this particular CD unless you never heard a Junior Tec CD!..if you ever heard vintage Junior Tec, you will want perfection every time…I guess you can say I’m a little spoiled, but I’m not deaf…and I tell him this all the time…”In this game you have to be the best or doing better all the time!”, and of course he’s listening!…(“the new project in progress is just what I’ve been waiting for!”)

My favorite tracks were #10,#17,#18,#19….especially #18 cause it has a Junior Tec exclusive with the song “Dangerous”!..very well put together!, I am looking forward to J-Tec’s upcoming Spidey-Blendz!…when you hear it,you’ll know why…you can find J-Tec on Myspace.com/djjuniortecmp3 and at an Orlando Club this summer!, you can also purchase his work on numixtapes.com

This Junior Tec Cd was sponsored by; AMW DJs, BX Sports, Interscope Records, Numixtapes, and Corona Gym in New York.

How does this Cd Stack? , This Mix-tape Gets 3 stacks!

Thank you!
