My father had a friend named Jim Beam, a DJ in New York. He would come home with all sorts of demo records, crates full. Reel to reel tape decks, turntables. I was only 15 but I had the time of my life spinning those records with my friend Chucky. Listening to songs that would become hits or that would never be heard again, it was an amazing time. Well, dad is on his death bed, only a few days left and Chucky jumped in front of an R train in Brooklyn on 12.02.19. You think the good times will last forever, and then you think at least you can have the people you love in your life forever, but life has other plans. My heart is heavy and I need to escape back to the 80's if only for a little while.
Nuff Respect to everyone at the original 92KTU, and thanks a million for posting these mixes! In retrospect, the station and its crew of DJs and presenters were true pioneers of the dance music scene in New York City, at a time when the city's music scene truly mattered and turned out to have global impact. We should absolutely praise people such as Paco, Aldo, The Dynamic Duo, Latin Rascals, Stuart Best, etc. for exploring and showcasing so many wonderful groundbreaking tracks, thus helping to give underground music an outlet and at the same time creating a scene which continues to live on! I cannot deny that the early 80's NYC club music were, and continues to be, a huge source of inspiration for me, and has played a huge part in my pursuit of a DJ career. That inspiration has never left me, and even though I was fortunate enough to live through that period and experience the dawn and golden age of Electro firsthand, I will never stop looking for the perfect beat! Aldo, Paco, Latin Rascals, Stuart Best, The Dynamic Duo, Animal Diaz, Ted Currier, Ralphie Dee et. al. We thank you! And for those about to throw down, we salute you! Anyone interested in similar 80's throwback Electro and Hip Hop mixing might find it worth their while to check out my own escapades at ua-cam.com/video/MouTZCk5qRE/v-deo.html
The one and only original WKTU. Not that bullcrap one we have had for whatever years it's been on. 92 WKTU was on radio it was one of the Greatest radio stations ever. I remember when was a kid back in them days. long live 92WKTU. Thank GOD for them.
R I P paco you was the voice of NY in the 80s. I remember them days in the BX listening to paco on the boom box and drinking 40z with the fellows. Good times man good times.😁
I remember listening to this music on 92 WKTU after school back in 1982. I was just about 11 but had an older sis who always had this station on. Love it 💃
This was really nice. I enjoyed the part where the song let the music play got on it was incredible. Music today doesn't have the same feeling. That was really great. Great memories.
I've met Paco in person at Roberto Clemente Park. My girlfriend (at the time) and I came in 3 rd place in a kids disco dancing contest. WKTU was broadcasting that day. I think it was the grand opening of the park. Paco had me speechless. 8O
I'm 66 now but remember Paco summer nights in NYC where the shit Saturday nights in east Harlem where filled with music every where you went you heard paco franky Crocker wbls hanging out in carver houses getting twisted with my man who became a FBI agent funny how life is
Wow this Youtude with Paco voice and his mixes takes me way back in times to my High School days and big boom boxes in NYC. Thanks Bro for the memories.
john trantos ........yup, that was the best time of my life. And then I got married and had 3 kids. Still married to same lady now for 34 years but running around to clubs was something that you can't take from me.
Agreed!!!! Magical years ! There is is no way to capture the true experience of these times but this pretty daam close! Long live the 80's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I"ve mixed along side Aldo Marin a few times back in the day. Many late nights on the turntables and editing block just to sell tapes in the hood to friends and fans. Washington Heights, Inwood & Dyckman Street in the house! .....I'll never forget the famous old "Music House" record shop hang out that is! Always in my 💓
I love it...Cindy is like a family for us this video is just amazing thank you for choosing us in this video that was record on my older Cuban Restaurant. we have to record another one in my new Restaurant at Casa de la Trova in Fair lawn NJ....Love & Luck Chef Johnny Ayala.
I also remember the first song on 91x, when it aired in 1983 with the song Sex by Berlin with the lead singer Terri Nunn. And I remember the song Blue Monday by New Order heard on this station WKTU on 92.3 and it same does 91x with Steve West.Now Steve West is on Alt 94/9in San Diego. I remember Mike Halleron on 91x in 1986 to 1991 and he was on the 92.5 The Flash in 1993 to 1998. Of course Robin Roth on 91x in so years, when I was growing with in the 1980’s to 1990’s. Mad Max was first on 91x in 1983. I was born in 1973, and remember the time when I was 10 years of growing up new wave / synth pop in the era.
damn...i was young high and having fun...don't let the kids know we yuse to get high....made it through college and wall street and still standing.. love nyc and northern new jersey this was a great time...we dealt with fun and hell and no one got shot...even though there were guns around....lOL...peace
The music when I was 10 years old from the radio station in New York with WKTU. There are some new wave classics of Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Madonna, Yaz, and a lot of the others. And also classics from Depeche Mode and also New Order, many other artists back in the 1980’s. The a lot of artists played on 91x in San Diego first aired in January 28th of 1983, with disc jockeys Mad Max and the others. And KROQ was aired in 1977 in Los Angeles with a lot of the punk and later the 1980’s with a lot of the new wave/ synth pop music.New York was diverse of the many music genres in the past. The stations played a lot of the old school freestyle music back in the 1980’s in New York and also in L.A..I loved the 1980’s music. I remember when I hear KROQ music with disc jockeys with Freddy Snakeskin and I also remember Nina Blackwood and Dusty Street. And I also remember Rachelle Donahue was on KROQ and Rodney on the ROQ plays a lot of the L.A. punk scene.
Blue Monday by New Order is one of biggest hits in 1983 in early days of WKTU and it first played in the New York City dance clubs back in the day of the year of 1983.
And to think back then they were just getting out of editing on a reel2reel, a REEL2REEL!! friggin awesome. back to the edit block EVERY BODY! BE SOMEBODY
Feels like some cuttings of several mixes brought by Paco, but not as a authentic aired show. Many parts of this mix are known from other mixes by LatinRascals and or DynamicDuo brought by Paco at 92WKTU and on The SaturdayDanceMastermix Show at 98.7WKRS
Paco was part of my New York City street soundtrack....makin' steps with my walkman blasting KTU in my ears. Too bad he tried to pick up some extra cash selling a suitcase full of smack to undercover feds.
I remember we use 2 sit on the benches and have the boom box and and dance, Saturday's head 2 the fun house dam those were the days now we have family's and those to look out for But my heart will always lean What music should ready be.
OMG! I definitely remember this song when it was hot on the airwaves! I was getting PHUKED on rooftops in the East Village NYC, by curious Papis! OMG! How I missed those Anonymous Fun Gay Hook Ups days! ;-()
Except for Frankie's little problem...beating the hell out of women he dated. He had to flee to France for a while until Percy Sutton could cool the situation down and enable his return to the city.
Wow Where did time go ...wish I could find a Time Machine .These days where the BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES OLD SCHOOL STAND UP .!!!!!!
O lord you have no idea how much I miss those days , especially hanging out on the handball court and drinking them 45.😢

Gobo, I, too, lost a relative in 1974 -- leaped in front of the M train at Marcy Ave station. Yes..." if only for a little while" -- GF.

Paco Navarro (WKTU-FM) died on Aug. 8 at a hospice facility in Saddle River, N.J. He was 82. - I grow up with his music. May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace, I wish I was around this time to listen to his mixes, he was great.
I remember listening to this music on 92 WKTU after school back in 1982. I was just about 11 but had an older sis who always had this station on. Love it 💃

I remember Paco would end his show everyday with the same advice, "Be cool....stay cool......but most of all, keep your cool"
nothing better then listening 2 Paco's KTU mixes.
This was really nice. I enjoyed the part where the song let the music play got on it was incredible. Music today doesn't have the same feeling. That was really great. Great memories.
Proud to have been there and living it up! A shout out to the old Break Dancing crew!
I've met Paco in person at Roberto Clemente Park. My girlfriend (at the time) and I came in 3 rd place in a kids disco dancing contest. WKTU was broadcasting that day. I think it was the grand opening of the park. Paco had me speechless. 8O
