YOUR COMMENTS ON Raul Rodriguez

Raul Rodriguez is responsible for so much of the early 80's new york sound. He was a dj at Bonds and also worked at Disconet. His re-edit of Abba Lay All Your Love on Me was by far the best extended re-edit of its day. The Two Sisters project was a blueprint for what would become freestyle music from the vinyl to the artwork. His work with Man Parrish including Hip Hop Be Bop,Rama and COD were breakdancers dreams.
Any Electro dj worth his salt should know the name Raul Rodriguez. if you don't ...start lookin!!! also of note thats 808 beats and vocals but amazingly no cheese at all!! Also Raul sold his 808 to none other than a dude by the name of Mantronix!! so what does that tell you!!

I am looking for an email address for Raul Rodriguez. We went to the same grammer school "Holy Name of Jesus" class of 1971. I've looked for him for years and just found him on this site.

Blessings,
