    What's Your Story on (Semi) Old School Label Promotion Directors/Managers/Reps

    Came across this old database file on my PC the other day.

    These are peeps (and labels) that I used to mail my charts to weekly (w/o fail), and that serviced me great wax.

    All were amazing, and Harry Frank Towers grabs the Gold in my book; He was one of the 3 people that I asked to write recommendation letters for my Grad School applications (the other 2 were from the boring Corporate world)

    __________________________________________________ _

    List frozen in time in 1997-1999ish (not sure ... somewhere around the last charts I mailed out)

    Thats me , sorry if you were X'ed from the list, blame it on budget cuts haha

    Harry Towers is a good man, knows his shit about dance music. He worked for ZYX at one time. After Kevin Doyle left ZYX, I took over that position as well. Crappy music from Europe

    Man i see some old heads on that list that I haven't seen in ages


    I'm starting my own vinyl/digital label next yr while I hustle Real estate in NYC

    Nice list.
    when i was producing/djing from 92 - 98 all the NYC labels would take care of me with promos & stuff. once i left the scene in late 98 & came back in mid 2000 it was a whole nother world. But i made out alright.

    ... and YES, that's what struck me - the names - was cleaning my old files out, and had to keep that one

    Best wishes on the label

    thanks!

    I haven't seen Chris Pagli in ages, since 95-96 probably.

    I also brought in distribution deals for Stax's Abicah Soul label, Robbie Rivera's label, Stonebridges label and so on and so on.. Glad to see Stax is still killing it!

    Thank god them days are over... it's been 2 yrs since I quit that shit. Looking forward to blowin' up our shit... Drrtyhaze in 2008!!! hoooo
