Long Island New York House Music Innovators Razor and Guido have been an unstoppable remix and production force since their first remix for Robert Miles "Fable" in 1996. Since then the two single handedly changed the face of american dance music with original productions like "Do it again", "Don't Look Behind You", The Build Up and "Miss The way" feat Reina. As well as solidifying their relentless energy progressive house style with remixes like Notorious B.I.G "Mo Money Mo Problems”, Kim English's "Unspeakable Joy", Monica "The First Night" and most recently Selena Gomez "Slow Down" and Havana Brown's “Flashing Lights” singles, all of which show that Razor N Guido are not only billboard #1 dance artist but true multi platinum Remixer / Producers.

First and foremost Razor and Guido are DJ's having traveled around the world supporting their productions and remixes and sharing their unique brand of NY hard house progressive music. "We are all about the energy, if it doesn't make you want to get up and dance then it's not us" says Razor. Not ones to stand still the two continuously strive to evolve and change their sound always adapting and morphing styles in unique combinations to create their signature sound. This approach has gained them the recognition from world Dj's such as Junior Vasquez, Johnny Vicious, Eric Morillo, Danny Tenaglia, Jonathan Peters, Sasha to name a few. In 2011 they were honored to be inducted in the Just Circuit Hall of Fame for their production and remix efforts through out their 15 year career as well as writing and producing music for award winning cable Show "Queer as Folk'" along with numerous other TV and Film contributions. This year they plan on concentrating heavily on their own productions starting with the rework of their classic single "Do It Again" with the help of fellow remixers Richard Grey & Lisa Kensington Trent Cantrell, J Quintel & Manufactured Superstars along with a host of others. Razor and Guido will not be satisfied until they explore all parts of the music industry or at least until there is no more music for them to be inspired from, which by all accounts Guido Says “is never gonna happen”.

RIP 1964-2014
Tragically Jim passed away on Feb. 20th after a complication with cancer.  He will live on through his music.  I have set all his music for download, please grab it if it grabs you and share it around. 
Rest in peace my dear friend, you meant the world to me, you'll always be in my heart.
Love,
Patrick xx

Jim Heinz is a Professional Recording Engineer / Producer / Remixer who has worked on 100's upon 100's of recordings spanning decades.  His body of work covers a vast array of Artists and Genres. He is also a Drummer, Keyboard Player, and a prolific Programmer and Sound Designer.

At the age of 2 Jim was blown away by a drum line in a local parade, not even knowing what it was he started bouncing up and down uncontrollably, the rest as they say is history.  He then started taking formal drum lessons at the age of 4 and continued until he was able to take percussion performance courses in college . During his college years  while studying as a Percussion Performance Major (along with Arrangement, Composition, and Theory), he was a principle Percussionist with both the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble and the New York Symphony Orchestra performing at numerous  venues including Carnegie Hall in NYC.  During this time he also found his true love and forte:  Electronic Music.

Starting with a Commodore 64 and a Roland MSQ-700, he then began collecting a vast array of analog synths (which he has continued collecting over the years).  Jim has now become one of the most astute collectors of analog instruments in the industry.
Earlier projects include works with Tony Humphries of Club Zanzibar fame, and Kevin Hedge from Blaze.  Jim went on to Engineer and Program their first hit 
single, "What Ya Gonna Do For Love"  Jim went on to be involved with a lot of artists based out of Ace Beat Records and Power Play Records. 

Jim also worked as a resident Producer / Engineer for Grammy Award winning Producer Tony Camillo at his studio and record company TC Records.  While there he created remixes for Gladys Knight and many of the other TC artists.  He went on to develop projects for International artist Tania Alves and Larry Holmes (yes! THE Boxer!)  Working with legendary freestyle Programmer Joey Norosavage they also produced a number of Freestyle hits for a subsidiary of TC Records:  WE /B records.

While working at Starz Recording Studio as Head Engineer and Studio Manager he recorded and developed numerous artist during this period.  This was when he met Jackie Nova and produced and remixed her track, "What You Mean To Me", along with many other projects and remixes.  During this time Jim was also the Head Audio Engineer for all of the live bands that performed on IMUS in the Morning on MSNBC.
As for his love of electronic music, the nightlife came calling and the rest is history as to what followed.  With Big Room circuit parties becoming the norm across the country in the late 90's - early 2000's, Jim would go on to have a massive role contributing to the success of one of the largest parties of them all:  Sound Factory.  With Jonathan Peters DJ'ing Sound Factory he needed the best of the best to add to the aura and mystique of what that party came to represent to so many who experienced it.  Jim was then brought on-board to complete original tracks and remixes specifically for Sound Factory.  They featured Jim's signature harder edge that he would become famous for.  He was later commissioned to create remixes to add his signature sound to major artist and label tracks under Jonathan Peters. While for many the party seemed to go on forever, in the background storm clouds were brewing.  As is the case within this industry disagreements arose between Jim and Jonathan Peters involving being credited properly, along with artistic and financial concerns.  Since 2003 Jim has not been creating any new material for Jonathan Peters although in 2009 Jim and Jonathan did get back together creating remixes.  During this time Jim did the following tracks: Charice's "Pyramid (Jim Heinz & Jonathan Peters' Club Mix)", Rihanna's "Rude Boy (Jim Heinz & Jonathan Peters' Club Banger)" & "(Jim Heinz & Jonathan Peters' Dub Banger)", Whitney Houston's "I Didn't Know My Own Strength (Jim Heinz, Joey Moskowitz & Jonathan Peters' Club Mix)" and an unreleased remix of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" .  Unfortunately the 2009 stint ended the same as the original and they no longer work together.  It was bittersweet for Jim as Jonathan Peters had been a longtime friend for more than 15 years.

Currently Jim is in the process of remodeling his studio to suit his needs and to accommodate the new (and old) analog gear he has recently acquired.  Jim is really excited about the prospect of returning to the club scene and is preparing a new sound for the new year.   Jim met Patrick Silletta at the start of 2013 by chance through viewing a video he had posted on Youtube.  Patrick is the webmaster and originator of theMHRproject.  They have been good friends ever since.  In fact, Jim credits Patrick with fueling his return to making mixes and getting his music out there for the world to hear.  Jim is even more excited as he can finally be free from all the drama of creating mixes for others who would take his name and get his own work out there as his own, on his own terms!  This is just the beginning so stay tuned!

An exciting project to get fans of all the Club Mixes / Anthems spanning 1997-2004 to fund on our own the Programmers (House Music creators) who collaborated with famous American DJs!  MHR of course stands for 'The Melodic House Renaissance Project'.  Over the years I have grown tired of not hearing the great Club music we were used to spanning that famous period around the early 2000's.  I got so tired of it that I started reaching out to all the talented Programmers who create these sounds to see if they would be interested in coming back to the Club scene again and creating some new Anthems for us all!  Several have shown great interest and I have been working VERY close with some already, notably Jim Heinz who has also appointed me as his manager.  That is why with theMHRproject I hope to gather enough fans of this music all together under one roof with the intention for us to use sites like Kickstarter to once again fund this music.  If we can take care of the money aspect the Programmers can get right back to doing what they do best:  Bringing us unforgettable Anthems!  Please check out my links: facebook page, youtube channel, websites etc. and please get on board with the project and stay tuned!  Once we have enough people willing to support the Programmers we will have a funding blitz and then who knows what kind of magic will be created!  I will use this SoundCloud account to highlight the phenominal work these Programmers have created.  Listen in to get the low down on why this music was so memorable and coveted by so many!  I feel NOW is the time that this music indeed did have a Renaissance!

I'm addicted to DRUMS and I'm a slave to the Dark Beat....

It’s all about the music. New York stalwart and beloved DJ, Boris, lives by that statement each and every day. He is a man wearing many hats; one as a touring DJ, another as a producer dynamo and lastly as a label boss of Transmit Recordings. A career forged over decades of long nights in the Big Apple’s most revered rooms. From the infamous Roxy to Crobar to the once dominating Pacha NY on 46th Street, Boris maintained a following so devout, so loyal they were truly ‘Believers’. Pioneering a music movement in a city filled with those who have so little time to pay attention, Boris has been a production powerhouse when not performing for the masses. He’s been tapped by industry leaders such as Carl Cox for his label Intec, Dubfire for his label Sci-Tec, Paco Osuna and his Mindshake records, amongst countless others.

His ability behind the decks and in the studio has not only made him a New York favorite, but his music has taken him places all around the world ranging from the shores of Playa Del Carmen to the magical White Isle known as Ibiza. Known to many as the ‘DJ’s DJ’, Boris has had the career most DJs can only wish to have. The trends, they may change but the New York native has stayed true to his drum driven sounds and created his own niche in the wide and vast world of electronic music. Taking bits and pieces from every part of the globe he visits, Boris always maintains a piece of home in his music. 

Even though his career spans nearly three decades, the journeyman DJ has yet to falter. We currently find him playing leading to destinations across the globe and his music is in high demand with forthcoming releases many sought after labels, Boris will is constantly on the tips of the younger generation’s tongue. Why? Because talent, like wine, gets better with age.
