BadBoyJoe is currently one of New York’s most sought after Club DJ’s and Producers. Born in Brooklyn, his early inspiration came from the Latin Rascals and Chep Nuñez. "I purchased my first turntables back in 1988... a pair of 1200's and a mixer from a buddy who needed the money for his wedding. I just started playing around making mix-tapes for friends, and the next thing I knew, I bought a used reel to reel, some razor blades and tons of scotch tape... I just started trying to do what Chep Nuñez And The Latin Rascals did." After countless hours behind the turntables, and more than a decade perfecting his unique "high-energy" style of multi-editing, BadBoyJoe has given up the razor blades in favor of a G5 ProTools rig and state-of-the-art recording studio, where he spends many hours working on his mixes. Every mix he works on takes anywhere from 40 to 60 hours to finish.
BadBoyJoe is far from being the typical music artist. Best known as the man behind many successful recording projects, most notably The NYC Underground Party Compilations, that to date have SOLD OVER 1,700,000 COPIES and remain the largest selling dance CD franchise in US history, he expanded on this success with the Dance Factory and Dance Divas series (DeeVee Music). Add to this, his own successful NYC AfterHours (Feel The Drums) series, that to date have sold over 75,000 units, and the Old School Freestyle compilations: The Best Of Freestyle Megamix Volumes 1 Thru 5, which also have sold over 400,000 copies, and you begin to realize that BadBoyJoe is certainly a master of his craft.
When not working on his mixes, he also produces numerous shows and events for New York City's reigning dance music station; WKTU 103.5FM, most recently working on KTU's Beatstock 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005,
a yearly event with over 50,000 people in attendance.
BadBoyJoe, the Winner of Sirius BEATBOWL 2007, also has a weekly satellite mix show on Sirius 36 - the beat. Check out "The Megamix" every Saturday Night from 11pm to Midnight (EST).
With his unique mixing style, and album sales now in the millions, BadBoyJoe stands among the top selling DJ’s in US history, and has found the way to set himself apart from all the others...

I know Bad Boy Bill he use to run a cd store in my town in Perth Amboy which is still opened but ran by his partner now. Everytime a person would walk into the shop he would press play on the tape deck so that the customers would try to buy it. He use to tell me how he would do his edits for his freestyle mixes to make it easier for him to mix. Kool guy too. I don't really see him in amboy anymore either.
