Season 3 a - Episode 4 with Legendary Dj Nicky Siano

Season 3 a - Episode 4 with Legendary Dj Nicky Siano

In 1971, aged 16, Siano got his first DJing gig at The Roundtable. In February 1973, aged 17, he opened The Gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan with his older brother Joe Siano. New York Magazine called it "one of the five most visually breathtaking nightspots of our time".

The Gallery was, alongside David Mancuso's Loft and Paradise Garage one of the three most important clubs in New Yorks's 1970s underground disco scene. Both Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles worked there before starting DJing.  Knuckles said that he and Levan "spent a lot of the time hanging out in the booth, watching Nicki’s every move. He pretty much taught us what we were doing."

When Steve Rubell opened Studio 54, he asked Siano to be one of its resident DJs, to which he agreed, while remaining at The Gallery at weekends.

 Siano DJed at Bianca Jagger's infamous Studio 54 birthday party, and was playing as Bianca Jagger entered on a white horse. He was known for playing underground alternative music as opposed to the disco hits that were dominating the nightclub scene.


Siano dropped out of the scene around the start of the 1980s. He recounted to the Sydney Morning Herald that in 1982, he became sober, his best friend died of AIDS, and he "wound up in a 15-year career helping people with AIDS."

Siano continued to tour and produce. His release Power of Love, featuring Arline Burton, was launched at the 2007 Winter Music Conference. Siano also released a film documenting the Gallery nightclub, with footage shot in the club during the 1970s.

On October 18, 2011, Siano reappeared at Studio 54 for the club's one-night reopening, organized by Sirius XM Radio. He played all 1970s disco from the club's original days. THE BOOK ABOUT THE 1970's CLUB SCENE FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE!

Season 3a Episode 11 with DJ Mtraxxx aka Manny Cuevas

Season 3a Episode 11 with DJ Mtraxxx aka Manny Cuevas

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.
