		Junior gained national prominence -- along with music industry influence -- through his residency at the original Sound Factory in New York on W. 27th Street.
		Junior often created his own "private collection" remixes of songs he was hired to remix -- and also for those he wasn't -- that made his sets even more special to his audience.
		Presently Junior continues to spin at clubs such as Spirit in New York City and Anthem in Miami throughout the year, with occasional performances in Los Angeles, Toronto, and other cities throughout Latin America and Europe.

		Junior Vasquez once declared "the torch was passed on to me. I will continue the legacy." He was talking about the legacy of Larry Levan and Paradise Garage, which Junior used to frequent.
		For the last three years, Vasquez has been at the helm of Saturday nights there, called Juniorverse, Djing from the same private booth (to this day, he is the only DJ playing from that booth, a new booth has since been built across the dance-floor) in which he christened the room 11 years earlier.
		Junior Vasquez, throughout his years of hard work and many accomplishments, always remained true to the New York club scene that elevated him to the rank of DJs of all DJs, rarely accepting booking outside of his territory.

		DJ Junior Vasquez continues to craft, sublimely, his sumptuous, sweet-toned brand of deep house.
		He shifts from silence to sound effects and from chants to riffs as seamlessly as from diva cries to echo or percussion, always going for the lissome tone as he elasticizes the rhythm this way and that.
		Junior Works, meanwhile, is the Vasquez style applied to a selection of Eightball releases -- several of them Vasquez's own productions and therefore easy to tailor to the master's style of glamor and gladness in search of the highest sky's-the-limit and the deepest pulse-the-box.

		Pumping the volume during marathon sessions at the Palladium, Tunnel, and the now legendary Sound Factory, Junior Vasquez was the driving force behind the revival of New York's club scene after the AIDS crisis nearly shut down the party in the late Eighties.
		Throughout the Nineties Vasquez challenged Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's Disneyfication of Manhattan by rallying a sweaty army of dancers who were fl, Latino, and, most important to Vasquez and his audience, gay and unashamed.

		But thanks to Twilo Volume 1: Junior Vasquez, a live double CD set released in late September on Virgin Records America, Junior devotees and other dance music enthusiasts can now experience the marathon man’s sonic sorcery from the comfort of their own homes.
		Junior’s primary mission and ultimate goal is to share his extraordinary music with as many people as possible.
		One of the most intriguing and remarkable aspects of Junior Vasquez, and certainly one of the main reasons he has remained at the top of his game, is that he continues to lead rather than follow.

	InternetEd Reviews: Junior Vasquez- Earth Music 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Junior Vasquez’s Earth Music 2 is nowhere near as far-reaching as the title might suggest.
		The big beats and choppy rhythmic loops on “Andante” make for one Junior Vasquez’s better tracks, while “Sorrow” is a more multilayered song with a thick and pervasive wall of sound.
		Despite the fact that there have been worse offenders when it comes to mind numbing dance music, Junior Vasquez’s Earth Music 2 is particularly disappointing because it is a regression to an older and less interesting style of electronic music at a time when there are otherwise so many innovators on the scene.

		When Junior Vasquez was forced to leave New York’s Sound Factory after it closed down in January, rumors were flaring that the granddaddy of house might decide to leave the club scene completely.
		Vasquez is gearing up for a visit to the nation’s capital and VelvetNation, D.C.’s popular Saturday night gay dance party at Half and K Sts., SE, on Saturday, July 3.
		Instead, Vasquez adds his own twist to the original tracks with butter smooth baselines, subdued climaxes and atmospheric vocals that keep the essence of the song intact.

	Junior Vasquez: Twilo, Volume 1 - PopMatters Music Review
		This means that, unlike previous Junior comps, this collection beams its listeners directly onto Junior's dance floor, allowing them to experience all the tricks and special effects of the master directly from the DJ booth.
		The glow-in-the-dark thread that connects the tracks on CD 1 is Junior's trademark, thumping tribal beat sound, especially on "Indo" and "Floating Higher", the first two tracks on the CD.
		It's appropriate that the inaugural CD in the Twilo series is from Junior Vasquez (born Donald Mattern), not only because his sound represents New York-style dance music in its purest form, but because he has been holding court at Twilo since 1997.

	VH1.com : Junior Vasquez : Biography
		During the six years of its existence, the Sound Factory was among New York's hottest night spots; catering to an ethnically diverse, primarily gay crowd, the club launched Vasquez to superstardom, and he became a tastemaker of such renown that new dance records were frequently debuted and monitored during his marathon Saturday night sessions.
		Most notable among the high-profile celebrities often in attendance was Madonna, who later tapped Vasquez to remix several of her records; he also wrote and mixed material for the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Lisa Lisa and, most intriguingly, John Mellencamp.
		As a solo artist, Vasquez was responsible for such club smashes as "X," "Get Your Hands Off My Man" and "Nervaas." In early 1995, the Sound Factory closed in the wake of community complaints; its swan song, a 16-hour house marathon, quickly passed into legend.
