Dj Rodwone collection: Pal Joey (aka Joseph Longo) came up in the heady days of New York street culture, amidst B-boying, boom boxes and an unusually entrepreneurial spirit of beat-making. Beginning with crude "pause tapes," he was soon making tracks with drum machines and sampled vocals, all painstakingly assembled with razors and reel-to-reel. Working at Vinylmania, where Larry Levan might be found shopping for records in his pajamas, helped Joey's entrance into the city's nascent house music scene, and he was soon working with everyone from KRS-One to Sade to the Orb, whose "Little Fluffy Clouds" he tweaked for stateside tastes. True to his city's inclusive spirit, Pal Joey consistently blurs the lines between disco, house and hip-hop, dropping scraps of old soul and recent rap alike over his skipping drum patterns and head-nodding keyboard lines. Joey's records (under his principal moniker and also aliases like Earth People and Soho) have appeared on Jive, Epic, Talkin' Loud, Wave and Coco Machete.
He also has run three labels of his own - Loop D'Loop, Cabaret and Footstompin' Record "musique house" "House-Musik" "ハウスミュージック" "musica house" house μουσικής " " 1. 貨倉音樂(快節奏流行舞曲,用電子樂器演奏)" "house muziek" "bahay ng musika" "house-musikk" "بيت الموسيقى

  • Vinylmania! Those were the days baby!  I used to take the train up from DC with as much money as I could save, go in there and grab all kinds a sh1t you couldn't get in DC, and the kids would get their lives off those records. I loved that place. Adam worked there, and he always treated me so good. Big props to Adam with dreads from Vinylmania!! House music all night long! xoxo
