| Info: | * RICHIE SANTANA (Stereo Productions, NY) w/ Stephan Grondin (Stereo Resident, MTL) " Richie Santana is no stranger to music. Having starting DJing at the age of thirteen, Santana began his professional career as a mobile disc jockey, working local house parties, sweet sixteen's and weddings. Before too long, it was the mirrored balls and flashing lights of nightclubs that called to the mixologist and he landed a weekly gig at Staten Island's Club Morocco. From his club mixing, Santana became acquainted with Anthony Acid and Brutal Bill, prominent re-mixers and producers, spending time in their studio and learning the ropes. Santana's first remix project was the white label version of the Eurhythmics' "Sweet Dreams," now a certified club classic. Following the success of "Sweet Dreams," remixing opportunities came pouring in from major labels, and Santana's unmistakable touch can be heard on Faithless's "God Is A DJ'" Amber's "One More Night", Mandy Moore's hit "Candy", Aaliyah's "More Than A Women", Wild Orchid "Stuttering" for RCA and Ashley Ballard "Hottie" for Atlantic. It was Santana's idea to take the acapella version of Pulse's "The Lover That You Are", and revolve it into a dance floor anthem for the millennium, "Lover 2000" found its way to Jellybean Records, the company behind the first release of the song, and was re-released by the label with Santana's mixes catapulting the single back onto the Billboard Club Chart to a number one position and the Maxi-Singles Sales Chart. Richie has had several top ten records on the Billboard Dance chart in the past few years, including Operatica "Melancholy Rose", Gloria Estefan "No Me Dejes De Querer", and Lucrezia "Looking For Love", just to name a few. He is also spends time producing his own original productions. Richie's next release was on YOU Records and was titled appropriately "Tribal Pleasures". "Tribal Pleasures" got massive play from the likes of Victor Calderone, Steve Lawler, Chus and Ceballos, and Oscar G. His next release was "Drum Control" on the world-renowned label Stereo Productions. This record opened up many doors for Richie and his productions. After this record he became a Stereo artist, and was now on their roster. Richie then began to work on collaborations with artists such as Chus and Ceballos, Victor Calderone, Peter Bailey, and Carlos Manaca. His next release "Low Frequencies" was a collaboration with Chus and Ceballos. This record was a huge hit overseas as well as in the US " |
