Junior Sanchez, with his impeccable skills and fabulous taste in house tunes, dropped his science on the tables at eleven50 on June 8th. Due to a speeding ticket (oops!), I arrived later than planned at around 12:45 A.M., and Sanchez was already spinning. The dance floor was packed, but the rest of the club had lots of elbow room (which I always like!). The crowd was a mix of Midtown clubbers, a few members of the khaki contingent from Buckhead, circuit boys, and the average person looking to have a blast on a Saturday night.
The sound system sounded crisp and clean (for once), not too base heavy... loud, but not deafening. The tracks Sanchez spun were upbeat and melodic. His sound had a Latino edge with baselines and beats stemming from hip hop. Junior's set clearly exhibited influences from Armand Van Helden and Roger Sanchez, though he had his own twist on things.
I made my way up to the DJ booth, passing a few of the typical Midtown posers trying to look cool as they stood around the bar. I was glad I brought my camera along, so I could catalog Junior at work. As I was taking some snap shots, I observed the 22-year old superstar calmly laying the vinyl on the tables; it was obvious he was in his element. He meshed the baselines in and out of each track with the dexterous fingertips of an expert lover.
After watching Junior spin for a few moments, I could not help myself from wanting to dance! I made my way to the dance floor and moved non-stop, being sandwiched between the other dancers. The music flowed so well that I lost track of time; when I looked at my watch it was 3:00 AM! I must say, Junior is the man, and I look forward to hearing him again! His music made a night in the Dirty South a little bit filthier.
