dj 5ive Mix: Recent Episodes
dj 5ive
dj 5ive's obsession with house music goes back to South Beach, 1997. There, he was a faithful follower of great dj's like Abel, JoJo Odyssey, Eddie X, and Bugie. His style is self-described as old-school Chicago house, with a touch of Latin flavor, and a few bitch tracks thrown in every so often for a little spice. The entire process is very personal and cathartic for dj 5ive and it is truly an escape for him.
In the 16+ years in New York City, dj 5ive was resident at the infamous Cock in the East Village, Evolve and the weekly Underground party where he opened for greats like Razor n Guido and dj Escape. DJ 5ive is still heavily influenced by the legendary producers such as Ralphi Rosario, Murk, Junior Vasquez, David Morales, Peter Rauhofer, Roger Sanchez, Frankie Knuckles, and Mark Picchiotti.
This mix is in memory of the LEGENDARY Peter Rauhofer. His genius influence and contributions to the music are a part of us and forever a part of our PRIDE.Enjoy!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

We met on the dancefloor at "Hotlanta" in 1996. DJ Abel was spinning Love to Infinity's "America". Thus, our friendship began. It has endured many ups and downs, seen triumph and defeat, gains and losses. No star shines brighter, no legs kick higher, and no heart loves purer... Love you, Miss Jackson (cuz you're nasty)
I'll never forget the Sunday night in 1998 when Guido played at Liquid in South Beach. I stayed until the very end and when the lights came on, I got on my knees and bowed to him. It was one of the most beautiful and moving house sessions I had ever heard. He was a true artist and he will be missed.
Happy New Year! "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain ENJOY!
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble." William Shakespeare's Witches in Macbeth. Enjoy!
