About Me
Manny Freytes started his DJ career over 15 years ago Playing hip hop, He has played alongside of some of hip hop’s most respected DJs. DJs like Kid Capri, Doo Wop, S&S, and Love Bug Starski at The Fever nightclub in the Bronx where Manny held down a residency. Manny played house music whenever he felt like he can slip it in at his party's. Tracks Like "Work It To The Bone" and "Break For Love" never left his record bag. But it was after The Fever closed that Manny was really introduced to house music, and what it can do to the mind, body and soul. Manny then took some time off from playing out, but It wasn't until 2001-2002 that Manny's life would change. One night out on the town with his friends he discovered a club called Vinyl and saw a DJ named Danny Tenaglia. The sounds, the vibe, the love that he saw and felt and was hearing were fascinating to him. Every week after that, Friday nights at Vinyl was his new home. Manny knew that this was the music for him, this is what he was missing musically, It mesmerized him, and Manny turned his sights from a DJ career in hip hop to becoming a DJ in the house music scene.Since then Freytes has been a regular opener and fill-in for Danny Tenaglia at his legendary and award-winning Be Yourself parties at the now-closed Vinyl/Arc nightclub. Since Vinyl/Arc closed, DT still calls on Manny to open the nights for him from time to time. Most noticeable is Godskitchen's Be Yourself 2004 Halloween party @ Club Exit/Ikon and Made Event's 2005 X-mas and Halloween party's @ Sprit. Manny has also been ask to share the booth with the likes of Cevin Fisher, Luca Ricci, Hector Romero, ThatKidCris, Jaimy and Techno legend Lenny Dee. Manny has spun in numerous lounges, clubs, and loft parties around New York City and beyond, Including A 3 day, 6 gig trip to Eastern Europe. which included a live 2 hour set on Hungary's #1 dance radio station.
