Junior Sanchez Announces New Label

Junior Sanchez is probably one of the most rockin’ DJs on the circuit, and as a true music lover, you can always count on his sets to be filled with his rock and early electro influences.

Armand Van Helden – Ghetto Blaster (Review)

Armand Van Helden

Ghetto Blaster

Released by Ultra

Armand gets the best from his guests on nearly every track (though Fat Joe could've delivered more than a sexed-up club verse) and he's mastered the art of proper Latin Freestyle ('Still In Love' featuring Karmen, 'All Nite' featuring La Roka) and jack-your-body beats (pick a track). In fact, it's fairly impressive how this record sounds so current and ...
