98.7 KISS FM The Latin Rascals (Fall 1984)

[riosaudade]

The Latin Rascals !! Wow!! these guys kept me moving !! I love it. The best mixes ever!!!

Still have a few mixes of theirs on tape.

[JEETURBO]

this is music !!!!! im back in time !!!!!!!!! thanks you tube and miller4th502nd

[miller4th502nd]

@BootyClapn yes, it is Madonna - a small part from Holiday. ;)

[basementbomber]

I can't recall if there was ever any pre- announcement when The Latin Rascals would be on the air. Maybe they did if you listened early enough.

I always tuned in on Saturday nights where you had either Red Alert, or Chuck Chillout switching every other week (i believe) from 11pm to 2:30 am.

If you turned on the radio, and you realized The RASCALS were coming through your speakers, u went scrambling to find a blank tape.

Which is why NO ONE has a complete Rascals mix from KISS FM today.

[DJRAMON804]

yo man this is the mastermix of all time for me. I found this tape on TDK in my house when i was 11yrs old and still got it to this day, and fixed it a million times.This classic made me the mixtape DJ i am today. thanks for this clear sound, DJ RAMON,Richmond,VA

[ROBBDINERO]

LATIN RASCALS was a big reason i dj & produce & still make A living off it

BIG APPLE CLASSICS

THANK YOU! RESPECT!

[oldschoolbx1970]

Yo,Miller 4th 502nd! What are the names of those joints that played after Play That Beat,Mr. DJ at 0:07 and 0:30?

[miller4th502nd]

@oldschoolbx1970 simple .. at 0:07 it's "Two Sisters - High Noon" .. and and 0:30 it's "Awesome Foursome - Funky Soul Makossa"

[oldschoolbx1970]

@miller4th502nd Thanks for that one. I haven't heard High Noon in 28 summers. As for Funky Soul Makosa,I forgot I happen to have that on 12" vinyl.

[doublej999]

tight skills - what happened to these gys ?

[miller4th502nd]

@doublej999 They still alive and in music business, but not as "The Latin Rascals". Albert is working as music producer, and Tony is working as DJ in Clubs and events around the world.

[first40]

@doublej999 after their radio editing days ( 83 to 85 ), they pioneered the new york freestyle sound, producing the cover girls, tka, noel, nocera, tina b, safire and making a few club hits themselves with "arabian knights" and "don't let me be misunderstood". they broke up and went their seperate ways around 89 or 90. Tony Moran has been singing , djing and producing. Albert Cabrera has been editing.

[solitario7765]

[steven400]

@alek923 you're welcome ;)

[lentiniburns]

@miller4th502nd - Miller, what's that mix after Shannon on 7.03?

[miller4th502nd]

@lentiniburns mixed ... 1. George Kranz - Din Daa Daa | 2. Awesome Forsome - Funky Soul Makossa

[WILDSTYLENYC]

This mix reminds me of the funhouse.

[Mightyduck602]

Fire Dam . Back when we get a blank tape pop it and record MUsic off the radio ..

[legalmind2007]

I was 10-11 years old during that time. Every weekend, I would buy 2 "Normal Bias" cassettes for $1.50 and pray that the Latin Rascals would be on one of those nights. If I remember correctly, they were on every weekend on KTU but every 2nd or 3rd weekend at Kiss with Red Alert and Chuck Chillout doing the other nights. 11pm would come and you knew immediately if they were playing...always with the elaborate openings. Those were the days!

[dumdumcry]

i thought i hard it all but this sounds like the latin rascal i dont remember them spinning on 98.7 kiss maybe 92 ktu or hot 103. bls and kiss fm was the hip hop stations. but hen again im a old man now and dont remember lol

[dumdumcry]

you mean 92 ktu there was no 98.7 playing that in 1984

[miller4th502nd]

@dumdumcry go to 4:02 and you can hear the announce from kiss FM ;) .. when you go to part two of this mix, you can hear the dj saying, "The latin rascals at the turntables on 98.7kiss fm" ;)

Part 2 = watch?v=RtqDwVc8j9A

[dumdumcry]

oh damn you right where the hell was i lol the only thing  hard out of 98.7 was red alert then that was mad years ago but thanks for finding it damn good to hear what hip hop freestyle was

[miller4th502nd]

@dumdumcry *lol* no problem ,... you're welcome ^^

[oldschoolbx1970]

Thanks for posting this on here. My days in the 8th grade at I.S. 74 in The Bronx located at the infamous Hunts Point area. Real music will always live on. Fuck what's out now.

[AndrewRazorblade]

Great memories i used to stay up late on weekend nights and record all these great mixes. I was 8 years old and used try to stay up because my brothers friends would give me blank tapes to record music for them. I miss those days this was true hip hop these dj.s today cant hold a candle stick to the djs back then. Great Great Great memories.

[legalmind2007]

@AndrewRazorblade --- Dude, you remind me of ME! I was 10-11 years old during that time. Every weekend, I would buy 2 "Normal Bias" cassettes for $1.50 and pray that the Latin Rascals would be on one of those nights. If I remember correctly, they were on every weekend on KTU but every 2nd or 3rd weekend at Kiss with Red Alert and Chuck Chillout doing the other nights. 11pm would come and you knew immediately if they were playing...always with the elaborate openings. Those were the days!

[FrankieCutlassShow]

Latin Rascals Is One of The Reason I'm In The Music Business Today-Albert Use To Live Across The Street From Me & He Use To Give Exclusive Cassettes Of All His Stuff Including These Mixes Before It Came Out...Albert & The Latin Rascals Will Away Go Down As The King Of Remixing...Nothing But Love To My Brother Albert Cabrera.

Frankie Cutlass!

[djkingshameek]

Latin Rascals inspired me to get into tape editing after I heard that they did most of their shows that way.

I applied the same technique via turntables on the song "Do it To The Crowd" that I did with Twin Hype.

Damn this took me back yo!!

Please help me out!!!!

[sblizzy]

What is the beat that comes on at 4:36! That used to be big in the clubs and the mixes.

[albertcabreraful]

@sblizzy narobe makosa 

[ricremdej]

@albertcabreraful What is the beat starting at 3:37? It used to be the shiznit back in the day

[albertcabreraful]

@ricremdej It's called Jive Trax 2,it's an album that had popular beats.

[miller4th502nd]

@ricremdej on a sampler cd called "Street Jams 'Electric Funk' Volume 2 " the title is named "Jive Rhythm Trax - 122 B.P.M." ;) I have the cd right here ;) The whole CD series is available at Amazon. I checked it out these seconds.

[ricremdej]

@miller4th502nd...Good lookin out on that cut, chief. I 'm trying to retool my library with cuts I used to have when I DJ'd back in the day...This was definitely a banger! Thanks again!

[djlordyasin43]

[miller4th502nd]

@albertcabreraful Hi Albert, nice to see that you are be here in the tubes. Special greetings from Germany, the mixes from the LatinRascals are here also known and unforgotable. They are still awesome.

[celo317]

[Choubidou917]

Thx for uploading this wonderfull Kiss FM Mastermix.

Top 10 Best mix ever From France

[EIGHTIESmusicguy]

OMFG, I actually remember this mix!

MAJOR memory flashback!

[lordvespatron]

oh lord, i LOVE high noon!!

[pleissbach]

OMG! I grew up with all those mixes in East Germany! (thx to RIAS) ...and iI still have it all on MC.How did I wait for saturday evening and "Studio 89". Thx Miller for the great Memories!

Stell Dir vor... weit weg von Berlin und ostdeutsches Equipment. Also sei froh mit Deinen Möglichkeiten von damals... ;-)

[miller4th502nd]

@pleissbach hehe, lass mal. Damals war mein Equipment auch nicht berauschend. Wir hatten auch nicht viel Geld, und somit musste ich mir immer von meinem Vater den kleinen Kassettenrekorder ausleihen, den mit nem alten Diodenkabel an mein Radio anstöpseln um dann das ganze auf billigen no name ferro bändern aufnehmen. Gott sei dank gibt es das netz, und gute software zur soundbearbeitung, somit kann man wenigstens einigermaßen wieder was rausholen. ;)

[pleissbach]

@miller4th502nd Ferro wars bei mir auch, aber eben oft von ORWO lol. Ich hab sogar noch einiges auf den alten Bändern... ^^ Auf alle Fälle schön, mal wieder alles zu hören.

[miller4th502nd]

@pleissbach Würde mich nicht wundern wenn meine Bänder damals auch von Orwo waren. *lol*

[Djteedoe420]

FUCK CD'S FUCK IPODS-it's all about tapes!!!-old school do stay true.

[patrickguice]

Amen I still use open reel tape to this day nothing has ever sounded like tape and never will. It was true skills back then bouncing tracks and using a razor blade. Not some clicking with a mouse like now.

[johnsreggae]

KILLER MILLER U GOT ALL THE GREAT JAMS

[jcarr1968]

I used to have this on tape!! EXCELLENT!!!

[dcflava74]

They need to search the archives and put all the great mastermixes on a complilation CD,this is some memories here of what N.Y radio used to sound like,now it's just garbage,Hot 97 and power 103 suck.

[ShayneSealy]

I hear you. I don't even waste my time listening to New york radio anymore, and get this. I use to be a Kiss fm mastermixer in the late 1990's & early 00's. I was on the air Saturday night from 9pm to 12pm MIdnight with the Duke Johnny Allen. The best days of radio was from 1979 to 1984 when Frankie Crocker was on WBLS & Shep Pettibone & Latin Rascals on Kiss fm.

[miller4th502nd]

@dcflava74 Albert Cabrera said, they didn't archieve theyre mixes, it's all gone.

[infinitrjorge933]

you mean power 105

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

damn...this is so New York!!!!! White Plains, out of those seats!!!

[kuma1720]

Man the Latin Rascals were icons of their time. As a former DJ they did nothing bit bring huge admiration. We all tried to copy the style that they created, which at the time was unheard of. Loop edits spectacular!! Bad ass mixes. I really wish someone could find the original mix recordings and offer them in a clean digital format.

[miller4th502nd]

With that wish you're not alone!!!

[djsazon]

imagine 98.7 Kiss FM playing this kind of stuff today!

[miller4th502nd]

when this is coming true, I try to search a job in NewYork and change my home, come to the states. *LOL*

[peacemanken]

@djsazon I'm from Illinois so I was limited to what I got through friends, If there was any way I could get some of these mixes I would love it!!!....Peace

[puchie82766]

The song on 2:54 is I need Love by Capricorn # DLM M25970 - Italy !

[intromix]

These mixes are worth GOLD, thanks Miller, for another great one from Latin Rascals :)

[tubo0211]

this was the real way to party

[7wiiskate]

yeap never forget it was ktu first

[7wiiskate]

damn the memories. ktu was the shit too. but then kiss fm pick it up

[davethee1]

Great mix; but I first heard it on 92.3 KTU before the rascals moved to Kiss FM.

Shout out to Frankie Bones......

It's Dave The One Mendez

[khaliamoon]

*sigh* WRKS. WHatever happened to the mastermixes? WBLS, WKTU. Memories!

[peacemanken]

Peace All!!

[EYEWITNESS888]

Yo!! I LOST MY MIND WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS!! I WAS RECORDING IT AND JUST HOPING THE TAPE WOULD NOT STOP!! THANKS FOR POSTING. This inspired me to become a dj, producer etc...

[DjICEbrooklynNYC]

Miller Wow !I didn't know New York's influenced went that far during the cold war era.I was in Germany back in 2003 very beautiful country and yes what it use to be east Germany also looks great now.I hope democracy will not get taken over by socialism here in America,what's happening lately with hussein obama it's a scary feeling.

[DjICEbrooklynNYC]

Miller thanks a lot BRO!!!!For us Americans this is pure history when music was real.The Latin rascals damnnn my people,....

[miller4th502nd]

Not only for you ;) For us Berliner's who grow up in the american sector and over the borders away, too. ;)

[Jimmyess333]

I used to practice mixing the pause button on my boombox too! Dub a tape and chop up the sample. NOBODY mixes like this anymore.

[jondom63]

I remember this too well!!...I was in Brooklyn then; with a brand-new boombox in hand, I recorded this show that night while hangin' with my crew. The very next day I started trying out my own editing using the pause button, making my own edits. These guys took mixing to a new level with their style. I was almost in tears listening to this. Thanks for takin' me back in the day with this classic mix segment!!! ONE LOVE, ALL LOVE!!!!

[miller4th502nd]

thx ... and yes, also when I live in Berlin and not NewYork and when I heard the mixes few weeks and months later as you as they aired here on the local radiostation RIAS1. Always when I hear the LatinRascals mixes, it gives a feeling that can try tears in the eyes and a light rumblefeeling in the stomach.

peace*****

[puchie82766]

Well said !

[weilland]

do you remember that station on medgar evers college 91.5 FM?? from1981-85? The best mixes i have ever heard, i think from 3pm-6pm. i think i still have a few tapes.

[warrensapex]

Bring me back 2 the original Joeys in Clifton and Ashleys and lets not forget about the Meadowbrook

[weilland]

are you kidding me? unfnbelievable i remember this like it was yesterday. THANKS!!!

[beepme909]

Miller I love you!!!!!!! this rocks

[frankiebones01]

If you go back through all the comments in this Youtube, it starts to prove how legendary these mixes were. I think we had been woken up early in 1984 hearing these crazy 'edits' that inspired so many of NYC's youth. Lucky for me I spent the next five years w/ Omar Santana & Carlos Berrios, by 1990 we were all doing sh*t nobody ever thought was possible. damMit! I got to give Omar a call. Tony & Albert thanks and thanks to whoever posted this...I'm a 42 year old teenager right now....peace.

[first40]

Hi Frankie, do you know how old Tony and Albert were when they were doing these crazy edits? Also, i was told that Tony and Little Louie Vega use to be tight but had a falling out. Any idea what that was all about? Thanks

[tlowrock]

Maaaan, I still hope that one day somebody will find the original studio tapes of these mixes... Some of them just have pretty crappy sound quality cause they're taken from old cassette recordings. Or can somebody tell the Latin Rascals that they should bring out this stuff again - on CD? ;)

[intrdrgn]

what is more amazing than there crazy Mix Editing, is the lenght of it. if i can put into movie terms, great action from begining to end...

[rtwow]

what happened to the animal ?????

[gmen2oo3]

OMG this is the bomb, man it bring back memories when we used to go into the city to the clubs...or go to Speak out in the island.

[SCMAN42]

Great mix it has give me INSPIRTATION!

[usucka]

whoooo weeeee wha he does with Freez - I O U at 2:38... shows the old school heads were ahead of their time....

[navalwarfare]

"Miller" thankx 4 posting this great mix !!!

[rdecaserio]

Is it posible to get this on vinyl? Ive been looking oround and nothing.

[miller4th502nd]

[hyper45]

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Where's the Latin Rascals these days anyway?

[miller4th502nd]

Don't know it exactly, but you can see in the tubes that they have own musicprojects. I think, today they are in the background, producing and managing, making remixes. But I'm not sure.

[first40]

well tony moran is big time producer and dj these days. albert cabrera do some production and editing work..he goes by the name of one rascal production.

[miller4th502nd]
