"DJ 38"

Nos fuimos a ver qué estaba pasando por las discotecas de Orlando y nos encontramos a uno de los DJ puertorriqueños que ha puesto nuestra música en la cúspide en todos los clubes y fiestas privadas, DJ 38. Este DJ estuvo fuera del medio por varios meses tras tener que cumplir con el ejército de los Estados Unidos. Ahora, que ya cumplió con sus compromisos, está de nuevo deleitándonos con su música. Pero, veamos que tiene que decir a In The House Magazine.


ITHM - ¿De dónde eres?

DJ 38 - Soy de Bayamón, Puerto Rico pero actualmente vivo en Orlando, Florida.


ITHM - ¿Cuál es tu nombre de pila?

DJ 38 - José Figueroa.


ITHM - ¿Por qué escogiste llamarte DJ 38?

DJ 38 - 38 es mi apodo desde “high school” (significa un revólver) y me quedé con él. Cuando empecé de DJ simplemente le añadí DJ al inicio.


ITHM - ¿Con quiénes del género has trabajado?

DJ 38 - Al ser DJ de discotecas he trabajado en vivo con casi todo el género, de manera directa o indirecta, en los discos o en conciertos. Al nivel de arreglista todos mis trabajos han salido de TNB Studio; he trabajado con un sinnúmero de artistas como Notch, Chezina, Plan B, Gringo, Felito, TNB, Guetto, etc... En cuanto a proyectos, yo trabajo con la compañía Soprano Music que sacamos el Various Artists Sopranos, Mickey Perfecto y por ahí viene Badfellas.


ITHM - ¿En qué club estás trabajando?

DJ 38 - Los jueves en Copa Cabana Night Club (International Dr. Orlando), los viernes en Firestone Caliente (Downtown Orlando), los sábados en Iconz (Downtown Orlando) y los domingos en Tabú (Downtown Orlando).


ITHM - ¿Sigues haciendo los “Mix CD”?

DJ 38 – Sí, los sigo haciendo, pero no tan constante como antes porque he estado viajando mucho y a mis “mix tapes” yo les pongo mucho amor y cariño. Se han tardado más debido a que estoy bien ocupado últimamente.



ITHM - ¿Por qué volumen vas?

DJ 38 - Yo he hecho 7 volúmenes de “hip-hop”, 5 de “dancehall”, 1 de “drum and bass” y 5 de Reggaeton.


ITHM - ¿Quiénes de Puerto Rico te han apoyado?

DJ 38 - Rey Soprano, TNB, Richie In the House, todos los aristas y productores que me han dado la mano en mis “mix tapes” con arreglos y “jingles”, son muchos y no quisiera dejar a nadie sin mencionar.


ITHM - ¿Cuál es tu canción preferida del Reggeaton?

DJ 38 - ¡Diablos!, ahora mismo son muchas, pero si tengo que decir una seria Rakata, de Wisin y Yandell.


ITHM - ¿Con qué artista te gustaría poder trabajar?

DJ 38 – Bueno son muchos, pero si tuviera que escoger a uno sería Yaviah. Siempre he sido fanático del hombre y siempre he dicho que si tuviera el dinero para firmar a cualquier artista en Puerto Rico sería El Black Father.
