Hey folks,
I just published a new podcast episode with Johnny De Mairo on Beyond the Decks DJ Podcast.
In this episode, Robert sits down with Johnny D De Mairo, founder of iconic house music label Henry Street Music and an influential figure in the growth of house music through heavy hits in the 90s era of house music. Johnny shares his story from sneaking into Studio 54 with a fake ID to becoming a respected DJ, record collector, and label owner.
We discuss his early years in the New York music scene, his passion for vinyl that led to a collection of over 100,000 records (at peak), the origins of Henry Street Music, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and a real world class in the business of the music industry.
Along the way, Johnny talks about working with legends like Kenny Dope, Louie Vega, Todd Terry (& more), and creating iconic tracks like The Bomb. School is in session, so get your pens and pencils ready for this history lesson – this episode, is not to be missed.
Beyond the Decks is your guide to mastering the art and business of the DJ, electronic and dance music industry.
