Here is one of my more recent sets from my show "Midnight Mass" on prepartyradio. Alot of hot vocal rides for all those who love a good vocal mash. I also throw in a few classics at the end so make sure to not miss it. Reminiscent of the 98.7 Kiss FM Mastermix days. Enjoy!
Here is the show everyone has been requesting, The full 3 hour mix of that unforgettable night on Midnight Mass w/my special guest, Tony Humphries who started the morning off with a blazing 80 min set. My set picks up right at 1:20 keepin' the momentum going. Enjoy!
A lovely set pulled from the Midnight Mass archives by mixologist Tony Sierra aka Dj ToneDef. You can catch Tony live on Midnight Mass every Friday, late night, 12 - 3am EST. on www.prepartyradio.com.
Dj ToneDef started spinning at a tender young age of 13. Born and raised in Elmhurst Queens, then known as DJ TNT, Tone was first influenced by staying up late nights recording mix show DJ's like Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Tony Humphries, Marley Marl & Mr. Magic, Shep Pettibone and the Latin Rascals. He took his love for the music and got his first official set a year later. He began playing at local parties quickly advancing to the club circuit spinning at New York based spots such as MKs, Golden Palace, the Pyramid and the legendary Tracks
He took a break from the club scene to pursue college radio at Suny New Paltz's No Doubt Radio show on 88.7 WFNP and respectively held that down for 2 years. Radio was the obvious choice of path for Tony so he took his skills to work for the prestigious pseudo.com. There he became a resident deejay alongside Dj Camilo of Hot 97, Dj Avee and Dj Evil Dee of the Beatminerz. For 3 years, ToneDef made pseudo his second home. He played underground hip hop on a show called 88hiphop and played rare soul and funk breaks on the Koolout show but still felt a void in his life. He felt that his true passion for deep, soulful house wasnt being expressed enough due to the high demand for hip hop at the time.
Along the path of his dj career, as expected he went on to wear the producer/remixer hat back in 93. He began producing his own style of tracks that rapidly created a buzz within the underground industry.
He became notoriously known for making smooth, melodic and jazzy hip hop tracks with the likeness of a Pete Rock or Large Professor gem yet with a signature sound all of his own. His house tracks, also with the same intensity from strong influences of the days of working alongside Little Louie Vega and Kenny Dope Gonzalez of Masters at Work, gained strong and positive feedback at various venues. Once he became a respected dj/producer/remixer/turntablist, It was then AmpleSamples Music was conceived. He went on to make unreleased remixes for such artists as Das EFX, Ak Skills, Mos Def, Street Smartz, Amerie, After7, and Eric Benet to name a few.
