Revisionist historians suck! Never steal credit from those whom worked hard for theirs. Thank you editor at the newtropic.com for correcting your journalist's mistake, Ralph was never the Avenue A DJ but the promoters did rent his mobile set up for the parties I spun at as the ONLY resident DJ the very first and formative years for house & acid house music on South Beach circa the late 80s through the 90s. Critics talk a lot, but they must feel very insecure if they are talking while covering up lies at the expense of others...in other words, I am a bad mamajamma so give it up troop! https://thenewtropic.com/house-music-history/

S.P.I.C.E. PHASE2. Things really got cooking on South Beach Miami when our techno night went off the charts and we passed our 5 week probation period to play ONLY 100% techno all night in 1990. They said we could not do it, and we proved them ALL wrong, sucka DJs & promoters included. #techno #miamiclubss #earlysobe #southbeachmiami # knowntodotheimpossible #hencephase2 #djrubenpagan

Another great party last night for the TVRNT brand at KYI. I had a lot of fun spinning for all of the Samhain freaks and then some Via my moniker Gamma Eridani. Look out for this brand when in Miami, pure, raw and uncut madness! ☠️
