Special thanks to my brother "COZ" for inspiring me to return to my Boricua roots, and for the gift of congas one snowy Navidad in NJ which inspired me to return to the congas and the Salsa music that gave birth to "El Mazacote de la Mexcla Salsera", THANKS BRO !!!! A special shout out to my mom, dad and uncle Ray for the gift of music and percussion at a very young age, god bless you always !!!! I also want to thank my entire family for allowing me to share my gift of music with you all, I truly loved all of those times and wouldn't change a thing, just live life to its fullest and listen to your heart !!!! A SPECIAL THANKS to my best friend and wife, I have lived life to its fullest and wouldn't change any of it, you're my inspiration and best friend who has given me the best gift of all ... YOU !!!! A special thanks to my best friend and other brother David, great times, great memories, great mixes ... ... ... best friends for ever !!! About me, I have been recording & mixing Latin Jazz & Salsa Gorda since 1977, I also mix Latin, house, dance classics, old school 1980's hip-hop and world music. I have also played live Latin Jazz percussion at the Blue note NYC, and at Cecil's Swingin' Latin jazz nights in Orange NJ. My musical mentors who taught me during my teenage years and in the Spanish Harlem percussion clinics include the jazz & salsa legends Ray Barretto, Tito Puente and Charlie Palmieri. I also love to play Latin percussion to just about everything especially the "Fania All-Stars", I have also mixed "salsa gorda" tunes for my brother from another mother and dear fellow friend Pedro Gomez back at Telemundo TV studios in Hato Rey PR, que viva la salsa por que aqui se formo la rumba!!!!

Dear Friends of Music Since I can go, I have been interested in music. I could never save money during my apprenticeship, because I spent everything on new LPs and musicarrangements. Meanwhile a music studio had become from my room, later even a really professional mix studio. Till this day I observe the music scene daily. Little does more joy than good sound to me. In the meantime, I have mixed more than 40000 sound carriers as well as some sampler. Of course you are able to pre-listen on my homepage my newest CDs. However, you can still discover even more.In the 90s I have often worked also as a DJ. I put on in events, in clubs, in radio stations and in roller skate discos. I have had a music studio called Soundfactory for about 20 years and produce tracks and mix different tapes Nu Disco Deep House Soul Funk Jazz everything I like and if you feel like it you are welcome

Music should be free...... live life like is the last day of your life...... How Music Affects Us Music is a force to be reckoned with. Certain songs bring us to tears while others get us exhilarated and inspired for a once dreaded workout. People create playlists for when they’re downhearted, happy, and almost every emotion in-between. Music affects more than your psyche, too. Science shows us that it affects internal functions like blood pressure and heart rate, can reduce anxiety, and even help with digestion and pain relief (1). What most people don’t know is how it does this. I mean, what is music made of? All sound is made by vibrations. Sound is what is heard when sound waves (vibrations) pass through the ear. Sound is measured in frequency. And Hertz (Hz) is the measurement we use. The way we feel, and the way the brain responds when we listen, depends on the combination of sound frequencies in the composition. This is known as the frequency response. This simple theory will help you understand why 432 Hz is said to make for a better listening experience. The Schumann Resonance – The Earth's Heartbeat To understand the popularity behind 432 Hz, we need to first learn about the Schumann Resonance. This will ultimately explain the number’s importance. A German physicist, Winfried Otto Schumann, documented the Schumann Resonance in 1952. He understood that global electromagnetic resonances exist within the cavity between the Earth’s surface and the inner edge of the ionosphere. He determined that the frequency of these electromagnetic waves is very low, ranging from 7.83 Hz to 8 Hz. The Earth used to resonate at a steady average of 7.83 Hz, but in recent years we've seen a shift more towards an average of 8 Hz. This frequency range is referred to as the Earth’s heartbeat, or vibration. The Link Between 432 Hz and 8 Hz So what's 432 Hz got to do with the Schumann Resonance of 7.83 – 8 Hz? Well, musically speaking, the two resonate with each other. Here's a fairly simplified explanation of how this came about, without too much math. In 1713, a French physicist named Joseph Sauveur came upon a new concept: Rather than tuning music at 440 Hz or other variations, he noted that by placing middle C at 256 Hz, you could create a system where each octave (or factor) of C lands on an even integer (whole number), instead of containing awkward decimals. It is those awkward decimals he alluded to that make conventional music tuning (440 Hz) not sound as nice as music played at 432 Hz. So, when we tune an instrument to 432 Hz, we get a C note at 256 Hz, which, due to the sympathetic resonance of the note overtones, will produce another C at exactly 8 Hz. This frequency of 8 Hz – which is at the top end of the Theta brainwave state – is the brainwave state that makes us feel relaxed but conscious and open to intuitive learning. So 432 Hz and 8 Hz are intrinsically linked in this way.
