Hope you enjoy your show gift in June 🎶

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Willie Valentin !!!

Had some fun putting together this mix for my bro, Willie Valentin in 2003. Although I've been mixing since I was 13, I only started editing in early 2000, taught by my brothers, the talented Santana Twins. I was pretty much still in the learning process, but I believe it came out pretty good. Enjoy ! Naya Nyasia Santiago Nyasia

Would like to acknowledge my wife Nyasia on International Women's Day (which is really everyday)... Before all this, I was a DJ who was (and still is) a huge fan of all her work. Since then, it's been nothing short of a great life with her as a mother, wife & manager... She kind, giving, loving & absolutely talented. Also acknowledging all the women in my family & her family 💙

Love you mama... Naya Nyasia Santiago

Part of the original, "The Freestyle File" Radio Show back in the 2000's. Always had been cool and funny as f**k. Condolences to his family... Condolences also to another original member and best friend to Ben, Tim "TimDog" McCabe....

Playing a song for him today in his honor. He always loved Tomax, "Regrets Only"...

Hello vinyl aficionados, its DJ Paradise...

We have been contemplating on releasing vinyl on last years single, "TIME" as well as our new song, "WALK AWAY" due to comments and emails from vinyl collectors and DJs who were asking.
We've read comments and complaints in the past on post by artist who made vinyl available that cost wasn't affordable. Vinyl is NOT cheap...

We decided to make a double sided 12" to make up for the cost and make it worth for the DJs to buy. It will be "WALK AWAY" and "TIME" as a Special Edition Double Track 12".

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY lol...
This is going to be ordered straight through the company and NOT through us which means we are not doing this to make any money, this is for fans and collectorsof vinyl. When you go to the link, type in your address, it will let you know what the total cost for printing, shipping and how long it will take... Again, just to clarify, we will NOT have copies of vinyl on hand and you will be ordering directly from the company. I know, it can't be signed since it's directly coming from the company. The only thing we can offer is sending the cover only to us and Nyasia will be more than happy to sign it. This is the best we can offer...

We truly appreciate all the comments, private messages and emails wanting vinyl. As a former DJ for over 30 years myself, I truly understand the want for a tangible piece of music.

Sorry for the long post but I just want to be clear so not to get complaints or negative comments when I put the link up. Yes, we know its alot but not a lot for collectors and lovers of vinyl.

Thanks, Nyasia & Martin "DJ Paradise" Santiago

P.S. Yes, they do INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING :)

There isn't a single person in this world, including her, that knows how much I Love this soul. Happy Birthday mama ❤️ Nyasia

Can't say enough how much I feel that Kraftwerk is the absolute foundation of our music. My prized possession is the original "Trans Europe Express" vinyl I have on my wall. It was surreal watching them perform in Orlando with wifey Nyasia last month and I truly mean, sure all. What was better than that? Catching original creator, vocalist, Ralf Sutter. F**k, I mean being around a pioneer of music and technology made me feel like wtf... So crazy... If you don't know about this group and want to learn where most of the music now came from, take some time, open your mind and Google/YouTube Kraftwerk for a lesson in history...

Anyway, hear are some pics and video clips of Kraftwerk live in concert in Orlando, FL...

My past 3 birthdays were crap because of Covid. This year, my bday weekend in NY, although chaotic with Documentary, Lehman and studio session with these people here made up for the past 3.... My Nyasia , thank you for just everything, it's beyond LOVE... To all of the overwhelming post and comments on Nayas page, thank you so much...

This pic below right here, means more to me than everthing. Luis & Ernesto Santana, Kenny & Wilma Diaz, can't say enough but THIS is family right here. Naya and I know everyone here for over 20 years, some even longer. Loyalty has never been an issue with us, has never been questioned and has never been broken... Paradise
