Bad Boy Joe
BadBoyJoe loves music. Born in Brooklyn New York, his early inspiration came from the Latin Rascals and Chep Nuñez. "I purchased my first turntables back in 1988…a pair of Technic 1200 turntables and a mixer from a buddy who needed money for his wedding. I just started playing around making mix-tapes for friends, and the next thing I knew, I bought a used reel to reel, some razor blades, tons of scotch tape and started trying to do what Chep Nuñez, Tony Moran and Albert Cabrera did." After countless hours behind the decks, and more than a decade perfecting his unique "high-energy" style of multi-editing, Joe ‘BadBoy’ Marcano has given up the razor blades in favor of a computer and a state-of-the-art recording studio, where he spends countless hours working on a mix.
No stranger to the Mix Compilation, BadBoyJoe has many successful projects to his credit, most notably The NYC Underground Party Compilations, that to date have SOLD OVER 1,300,000 COPIES and remain the largest selling dance CD franchise in US history. BadBoyJoe continued to expand on his success with the debut of the Dance Factory and Dance Divas series (DEE VEE MUSIC). Add to this his own successful NYC AfterHours (Feel The Drums) series, with sales of over 75,000 units since June 2004, and the Old School Freestyle compilations: The Best Of Freestyle Megamix Volumes 1 Thru 5, which to date have also sold over 400,000 copies. He has also produced numerous mix shows and events for New York City’s reigning dance music station WKTU 103.5FM, and for Sirius Satellite radio, most recently working on KTU’s Beatstock 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, a yearly event with over 50,000 people in attendance.
With his unique mixing style, and album sales now in the millions, BadBoyJoe stands among the top selling DJ’s in US history, and has found the way to set himself apart from all other mix compilations, “THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE MIX”
