Gabriel Rican Rodriguez - The Hood Mix

Classic Old School Mix tape from DJ Gabriel Rican Rodriguez off "The Hood Mix" from the early 90's
Bio
Gabriel Rican Rodriguez, of Puerto Rican decent, was born in the Pilsen area on the Southside of Chicago. As a kid, he often found himself playing with his older brother's & father's phonograph players, record collection, and tape recorders instead of playing with toys. Something about music just fascinated him as a kid. In 1984, at the age of 13 yrs old, he first saw the movie Beat Street and the movie soon motivated him to be a break dancer, graffiti artist and then later to become a DJ/Producer. By the age of fourteen yrs old, he and his former B-boy partners DJ THIRD RAIL, DEVASTATING DENNIS, ALEX AYALA, and ALFIE SWIFT KID started doing parties around the neighborhood.

By 1995, Gabriel Rican was blowing up the Chicago mix tape scene with over 45 different mix tapes of various styles of music and sold thousands at local records shops, malls, flea market stands and even out of his trunk. This was also the same year he started producing music with his life time partner in crime DAVID DIRZO whom he still produces music with for THROWBACK PROD. During most of his music career, Gabriel has worked for a number of music related places such as HOT JAMS RECORDS, FUSION RECORDS, ALL MIXED UP, AVT CD & DVD DUPLICATION and SAM ASH MUSIC. He has also spun for Chi-town stations such as: B-96 96.3 FM, WCRX 88.1 FM, WRTE 90.5 FM, WIIT 88.9 FM, and WCYC 90.5 FM. Gabriel Rican also had the opportunity to showcase his skills on HOT WAX one of the hottest cable dance mix shows on Comcast Cable with over 1.5 million viewers per episode. Not to mention, his performance earned me a spot on the "BEST of HOT WAX 2003" episode. He was also the former main DJ of one the best voted Latin night clubs in Chicago's history called CLUB 720.

This year Gabriel Rican celebrates his 21st year in the Chicago Latino music scene. He writes, arranges and produces various different styles of dance music: Reggaeton, Hip Hop, R&B and House. Gabriel also is a member of WU-TANG LATINO'S DJ Squad called "THE NEEDLE BREAKERZ", La Kalle's ROMPEDISKOTEKAS DJ Team, SOUL SELECTORS, THROWBACK PRODUCTIONS, NUYOSHI, NO NAME ENT. & ALOFOQUE. You can check out why he's labeled as the #1 Reggaeton DJ in Chicago as he spins on Friday & Sat nights for La Kalle's ROMPEDISKOTEKAS show. Currently, he works for UNIVISION RADIO - (LA KALLE 103.1 FM , 93.5 FM, LA QUE BUENA 105.1 FM, PASION 106.7 FM & LA TREMENDA 1200 AM).
