the whole biography
Picture the summer 1983…In the Bronx, NY a block party, also known as a street jam, is in full effect. A 13 year old kid steps in front of the turntables and starts playing a combination of Latin, House and Hip Hop music. The crowd goes wild and quickly the neighborhood nicknames the young kid ‘Baby Hec’ Romero. As his notoriety and age grows, he finds himself playing at the premier Latin Dance Club ‘La Mirage’, and doing nights at the hippest street club the ‘Devils Nest’. The very same club where friend Louie Vega got his start. Soon after that, "Baby Hec" Romero (a name that has taken years to shed) found himself DJ-ing at some of New York City’s legendary clubs and underground spots such as Save the Robots, The Red Zone, famed Palladium, and the Roxy. In 1994, Judy Weinstein recruited Hector Romero to work at Def Mix Productions and assist in the creation of Definity Records, an imprint Weinstein and partner David Morales was working on launching. Hector found he was not as interested in Remixing or Producing but he loved the balance between the creative DJ and the businessman. A&R, and working on the business end of Music, was a better fit. Weinstein took him under her wing and taught him the technique of good business management. The longtime business arrangement garnered him the position of Label Manager of Definity Records the Def Mix imprint. Romero has found a balance by playing records at spots such as Filter 14 in NYC, Stereo in Montreal, Locomia in Portugal, and in other clubs around the globe. Mixing different types of music together is his "sound" and it is this mixture that has again increased his celebrity with the Club Culture throughout major European Cities, Canada, and the USA. A natural progression within the Def Mix camp gave Hector Romero his most recent business opportunity as a participating partner in Satoshi Tomiie’s upstart imprint SAW.RECORDINGS. Weinstein, also an investor and a believer in the duo team, is working closely with Romero to strengthen his profile as a DJ through the Def Mix Tours. With Romero’s business savvy, the success of Tomiie & Romero’s dream company is insured. As one of the creative forces of SAW, Hector brings to the team his experience as label manager, and his A&R and negotiation abilities. As a DJ, Hector Romero continues to play on weekends and will be joining the others at Def Mix in a Spring through Fall 2002 world tour.Their RA profile lists Default Records, SAW Recordings and Orianna Records.Recently at MAD Radio NYC, Outer Heaven, Jean’s · often with Robbie Lumpkin, Charlene Incarnate, Silk Mason, none of them here that night

That moment of discovery remains her "Paradise Garage" spark, fueling her passion for crafting immersive experiences on dance floors across the city and beyond. Over nearly two decades, Rissa has earned her place among the greats, sharing decks with icons such as Danny Tenaglia, Tony Humphries, Danny Krivit, Kenny Dope, and TODD TERRY, among others.

“Anthony possesses an extraordinary power to transport you beyond the confines of time and space through music.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Anthony possesses an extraordinary power to transport you beyond the confines of time and space through music. With every beat and melody, you will be whisked away to different eras, evoking memories long forgotten or igniting dreams yet to unfold. Typically Anthony will dive into a set with pulsating house rhythms that anchor you on a vibrant dance floor; and will later introduce some driving techno that might plunge you into the depths of an underground rave. Each one of his sets is a ticket to an alternate reality, where the ordinary fades away and the extraordinary flourishes. In these moments, the music becomes more than sound; it is a portal, guiding you through the dark and mysterious landscapes of your inner worlds, inviting you to explore, feel, and connect. Anthony is the mastermind behind Lounge Sessions, an event series and community that showcases collaboration with a collective of artists and DJs, offering an extraordinary experience brimming with music and deeper connections. Join Anthony for his next DJ set or Lounge Sessions and let the music take hold—it’s time to journey beyond the familiar.Recently at SILO, 3 Dollar Bill · often with Raven Savere, Jay Vic, James Patterson, none of them here that night
