| DJ PANG-LO |
Born & Raised in New Jersey, Pang-Lo continues a long tradition of underground dance and
house music that has flourished in New Jersey for well over two decades.
It was through a church youth group while in his early teens that Pang-Lo first discovered
New York & New Jersey's unique house sounds and dance scene. A group of friends first
brought Pang to such legendary parties as Zanzibar and Wild Pitch in the early nineties.
“I barely have any recollection of the night I stepped into Zanz . . . it was like some sort of
dream . . . every now and then I’ll get some flashes of that day. I mainly remember standing
on something in the middle of the floor and looking at people dance in front of this big mirror,
they were in their own world . . .I loved it. It was my only time at that legendary place” From
there a passion for the house music scene took the young teen to clubs like House Nation,
Sound Factory Bar, Dance Ritual and The Shelter during the nineties. This also led to the
formation (and brief participation) of a dance crew called "Next Generation" that has now
found its home in Japan. He took a long break from the scene when his daughter was born to
focus on building a foundation for his family. Now, back on the scene Pang Lo has made the
transition to DJ.
For six years Pang-Lo has been spinning the deep sounds of New Jersey and New York.
Influenced by Afro and Latin percussion, his DJ style spans many genres, from soulful vocals,
teched out synths & brazilian beats to tribal bangers, creating a rich and warm sound for
dancers filled with spirit. Pang-Lo also credits his Mother's upbringing for his soulful vibe.
“My mom and dad let my uncle stay with us after he arrived from México. Him and his
drums.... (Hahahaha). I used to sneak into his room and start banging away. After I got busted
for busting one of his cymbals, he embraced my curiosity. He let me sit in during his mini
sessions blasting Santana, The Beatles, Manhattan Transfer & Spyro Gyra during breaks.
"Those were great years.”
In the fall of 2006 Pang was asked by Partner Steve Lamorte to bring a little Jersey to
Manhattan. They started a weekly party called “CRAVE” in Soho, NY. The party opened up
opportunities for invitations to the Winter Music Conference's "2007 Freestyle Dance Off"
and NYC's "Soulgasm" events. He was then asked to spin at “House Dance International”
alongside super producers Quentin Harris & Filsonik as well as the younger Martinez
Brothers on Shelters legendary main floor. Later, he would be asked to become one of the
residents for “House Dance International”.
Pang-Lo is currently a resident DJ for the party “Shanti” A two floor party committed to
giving an outlet to the tri-state area's underground, it gathers once a month on Sundays at
Club Shelter in NYC.
