The Latin Rascals - 1984

In 1981, Anthony Moran and Albert Cabrera teamed up to create the DJ duo called The Latin Rascals. They helped create the mid-'80s, edit heavy genre of dance music known as freestyle. Working as DJs in the early '80s, the duo realised that after the disco backlash dance music wasn't the most popular of genres. Still, they were working in the U.S. capital of club culture, New York, and after much hustling they were able to score a high profile gig as mix masters on WKTU's popular "lunch time mix" program 

The duo produced acts as well including the hit "Show Me' for the female group The Cover Girls.

Moran has been twice nominated for a Grammy Award.

  1. Tony Moran is a gay club DJ star and producer to this day. I've heard him play numerous times and his production work is still top notch
