... Mr. Hippie Torrales.
Found this mix a bunch of years ago, on DHP site and shared here once, many moons ago (our very Ichi.One claims to have it in his IPod since then...
)
I think this one showcases the great skills and taste in music of our hero, who's also a lovely, kind and great down-to-earth guy
Enjoy the Music,
Classic Series vol.1

---------------------------------------
Hippie Torrales began DJing at the age of 15. He came into recognition in NJ and NY after opening “Docks†with co-partner Nelson “Butchie†Nieves. After establishing himself as an innovative and creative jock, Hippie was recognized and hired to work at Abe’s Disco, which was the forerunner for Club Zanzibar. On Friday, August 29, 1979, opening night at Club Zanzibar – Hippie became the resident DJ and opening jock for the club.
During his tenure at Club Zanzibar, Hippie won the prestigious Billboard Award for the best disc jockey in the State of New Jersey – in the same year Larry Levan won the award for New York. It was the last time those Billboard Awards were held. After his resident at Club Zanzibar, Hippie went on to play all the Jersey Shore night clubs. In addition to the club gigs, Hippie worked on music production and remixing. Some of his most notable mixes of that period were Jimmy Ross’ – “Fall Into A Trance†and The Clark Sister’s – “You Brought The Sunshineâ€, which garnered them a 1 record of New York’s local radio station WBLS and also won them a Grammy that year for Best Gospel.
In 1989, Hippie was approached by local record store owner, Joe from Music Village Records and asked Hippie to produce his own record. Hippie thought about the opportunity and went home, borrowed equipment from a friend and began working on his very first original production. He wrote and produced You’re Gonna Miss Me by The Turntable Orchestra, which became a club classic in Europe and has sold over 2 million copies. It was from this moment on that Hippie began traveling overseas and DJing at international clubs and began writing a music column for Discoid Magazine, which was called “What Is Hip.â€
Hippie’s remixing career took off when he partnered with Mark Mendoza and created MenTor Productions. They did numerous remixes which included such artists as Lisa Stansfield, Evelyn King, D’Lacy, and most notable Rosie Gaines. In 1997, Hippie and Mark produced Rosie Gaines’ Closer Than Close, which went top 5 in the British Pop Charts and has sold over 8 million units worldwide.
To date, Hippie continues to DJ overseas and currently does an internet radio show on Tuesdays, on CyberJamz.com. He now lives in Florida and is currently collaborating on new production with Jerrell Battle and Jose Burgos of Soul Creation.
