Dj Mtraxxx and I go back decades, ever since he attended his first Village People concert, we instantly became friends, and the relationship grew from there As brothers in this thing called MUSIC!

Dj Mtraxxx 's government name is Manny Cuevas is a Puerto Rican dj from MIAMI, FLORIDA His love for DISCO/HOUSE and ACID HOUSE is out of this world.

He has his own mix show called - LEATHER DISCO, we'll ask him more about that later!

He plays internationally and has remixed a handful of songs too many to mention. I knew eventually the day would arrive when we ended up working together on a remix for a song I was releasing during the huge

court battle and litigation fight with the original ex lead singer and the one that replaced him, but this is is not about that!

I don't dwell in negativity or scandal or drama, or look into the rear view mirror it's not my style - instead I broke away from that mess and popped back into the recording studio to record a remake version of the old Disco Classic "GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS" by ODDESSY letting my fanbase know that I was going to be alright Okay! THUS the title of the song! In fact there were four versions of the song, The late Ritchie Haven who wrote it and recorded it then in 1981 Oddessy recorded it after their Giant Disco Hit - "NATIVE NEW YORKER" followed by

Rupaul's recording it in 1993, then yours truly in 2018! Each version had a special meaning to the artist that recorded it and for their fans.

Going Back to My Roots was released & the Native American Music Awards embraced it and nominated and won for Best Dance Single of 2018 at the Nammys,

Dj Traxxx and the Werkin Brothers brilliant remix of that song ended up on more that 50 mix shows around the world. Please sit back and listen to my conversation today with DJ MTRAXXX.
