A word from Dan
It is time for yet another edition of the DSR Guide. This week, regardless of the continued climb in gas prices, Allergy season commences as the weather begins to warm and spring comes to a close. We highly recommend our listeners to get rid of their cars and sit tightly in front of their computer screens, all windows shut and enjoy yet another week of online dance music streaming bonanza, brought to you by NY's finest underground dance music network. In this week's edition, check out the special set Disciple prepared for us on his appearance at the Kinky show and also look out for special guest Lil' Mike who will be playing a set this coming Tuesday night.
Quick shout out to DJ Ramseis who has joined the DSR team last week on his debut show on Wednesday. Look out for more of those pumpin' House beats coming your way.
As always...
Keep 'em dancin'

Dan Bino.

Francesca's Fever



Every Wednesday night tune in to listen to the feverish sounds of DJ Francesca on Francesca's fever.

DJ Francesca aka THATDJGIRL is an up and coming female DJ sensation that has been turning out the NYC Club scene for several years now. What started out as a hobby in college, quickly escalated into her career. "I only got into djing, because I was a club kid, who lived for the music. I got turntables so I could make mixed tapes of the music I loved, music that was many times only available on vinyl." Often in life one thing leads to another and 7 years later her unique mixing ability and extreme determination have earned her guest spots at such NYC Clubs as Centrofly, Shelter, Aria, Metronome, Twirl, OHM, Stonewall and Tavern On the Green to name a few. She has held residencies at Escuelita and Cheetah, and is a resident DJ for such events as Shescape & Lovergirl, which are NYC's biggest female parties. Her music has even taken her to Philadelphia, California, and Florida where she received rave revues this past year at The Prestigious White Party. Presently DJ Francesca is working hard to accomplish bigger goals reaching beyond the turntables. When Francesca is not spinning, she's hard at work in her studio working on remixes as well as original productions. She is currently working on her first album, which will consist of a variety of original house tracks ranging from soulful groovy house to progressive tribal beats.

Francesca's Fever-House, Dance-Wednesdays-from 11:00 pm-1:00 am EST.

Saturday night with DJ1NEn2WO



On Saturday, May 29th, log on and tune in to the sounds of DJ1NEn2WO from 6-8:00 pm EST.

DJ1NEn2WO was born to spin on the turntables. He first touched the turntables at the age of 12. 17 years later, he has grown to become one of the hottest, and most versatile DJ's today. Influenced by Hip-hop culture and by watching his cousin/mentor/partner Todd Luv spinning records, Mr. Magic's Rap Attack on WBLS and The Kool DJ Red Alert Show on KISS FM. His drive was so intense he soon enough built up his first turntable set by using a home entertainment system, a Technics 3300 turntable and a Numark mixer, practicing day and night.
When in High school, 1NEn2WO began to battle local DJs to build reputation. His music knowledge grew tremendously from the experience and in college he began to spin music for WCCR City College radio. From there on he worked his way up to General Manager position. It was then that Jam Kam Entertainment was conceived.
Along with his partners DJ Todd Love, DJ Hyper Flexus, DJ Misery, DJ Camouflage and King Ryder, Jam Kam Entertainment has become the trend setters in the mobile and club arena. As a unit, they have played the hottest spots in New York City such as Speed, Club New York, The Mystic Lounge, Club Mantra, Albany Manor, The Elite Ark, Cafe Alta, Spread Lounge, Groove Jet, 181 West, Metronome, Go, Peppers, and American Parl Cafe to name a few.
