Career
Mattern moved to New York as a young adult in the early 1970s with ambitions of becoming a fashion designer, even briefly attending FIT. The Fashion Institute of Technology ( FIT) is a State University of New York college of art and design located in New York City, New York However, as with so many New York transplants, especially in the 1970s & 80s, Mattern soon became fascinated with NYC nightlife -- specifically, legendary DJ Larry Levan at The Paradise Garage. Larry Levan (born Lawrence Philpot July 20, 1954 &ndash died November 8, 1992 At the height of the disco boom in 1977 Levan was offered The Paradise Garage was a nightclub notable in the history of modern gay and Nightclub cultures and in dance and Pop musics ref>Violette Soon, as Donald Mattern's passion for the music, the excitement, and the one-of-a-kind experience that NYC nightlife could potentially be grew, Donald Mattern from Lancaster, PA soon became Junior Vasquez and a legend was born. In the early days of his career in the 1980s, while building a name for himself in the music world Junior worked with notable disco DJ and pop remixer/producer Shep Pettibone co-producing & editing releases from artists such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, MC Hammer, Prince, Pet Shop Boys, & others. Robert E Pettibone Jr (born 15 July 1959, better known as Shep Pettibone) is a Record producer, remixer songwriter and club DJ Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16 1958 known as Madonna, is an American Whitney Elizabeth Houston' (born August 9 1963 is an American Singer-songwriter, Actress, Film producer, Arranger and former MC Hammer (born Stanley Kirk Burrell; March 30, 1962) is an American MC most popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s known for his Prince Rogers Nelson (born June 7 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American musician The capitalisation of song titles in this article is disputed It wasn't long before Junior landed a brief residency at Club Bassline where he began to make a name for himself as a live DJ.
From 1989 to 1995, Vasquez gained national prominence — along with music industry influence — through Vasquez's seminal residency at the original Sound Factory, a club he cofounded with Richard Grant at 530 West 27th Street in Manhattan's Chelsea District. Until its closing in 2001, Twilo was the most beloved and its critics charged most played-out Nightclub to grace the streets of New York City since the A discothèque, diskoˈtɛk̚ compare the Spanish "discoteca" is an Entertainment venue or Club with recorded music played by "Discaires" Manhattan Island, in New York Harbor, is much the largest part of the Borough of Manhattan, one of the Five Boroughs which form the City of New York Vasquez forged a bond with the Sound Factory space that would last over a decade and as word of his remarkable skill as a DJ spread, he quickly built a following of fans who became known as "Juniorites", and who were exceptionally devoted to Vasquez, his musical style, his unique & extraordinary skills and charisma, & the spectacle of his weekly Sunday morning after-hours parties. Because of the extreme loyalty & devotion of his fans to his parties & his music, Vasquez quickly became the most sought after DJ in NYC, and was able to make or break new releases through his mastery of remixing, live mixing, and building excitement among the nightlife scene through his vocal and devoted fans. Because of this, major record labels solicited Junior to craft club-friendly remixes of pop songs in his own unique beat-driven NYC house style at a time when most pop remixes still relied very heavily on elements of the original productions to tie the remixes back to the original versions. Because of this, and because of his reputation as an unparalleled DJ & host, musical heavyweights such as C+C Music Factory, David Morales, DJ Pierre, Björk, Marilyn Manson, & even Madonna were known to frequent Junior's Sunday morning parties from time to time. For other David Cole's see David Cole (disambiguation C+C Music Factory was a dance music production group (led by Robert Clivillés and DJ Pierre is the stage name of Nathaniel Pierre Jones, a Chicago born DJ and performer of house music Björk Guðmundsdóttir (born 21 November 1965 is an Icelandic Singer-songwriter, Composer, actress and music producer. Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969) better known by his Stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American Musician and Being in such demand by artists such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cher, Prince, Elton John, and many others, Junior also was able to create his own "private collection" of remixes he was authorized to remix (and many that he was not authorized to remix) which did not see commercial release. Cher ( IPA: /ʃɛr/ born Cherilyn Sarkisian, May 20 1946 Sir Elton Hercules John CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 March 1947 is an English pop / rock Singer, Composer These Junior Vasquez exclusive "Private Collection Mixes" made his live DJ sets even more distinctive and special to his following because it was only at Vasquez's Sound Factory that these masterful remixes could be heard.
After the closure of Sound Factory on February 12, 1995, Vasquez held residencies at the Tunnel (1995-1996), & at ArenA @ Palladium (1996-1997) where his suspended DJ booth was custom-designed by Dolce & Gabbana. Tunnel was a large New York City Nightclub with multiple rooms on several levels In 1997, he returned to the former home of Sound Factory at 530 W 27th St, reopened under new management as "Twilo" & remodeled to include a custom-designed DJ booth for Junior's exclusive use and fitted with a new sound technology called "Phazon" which became known by the late 90's as THE gold standard for large venue audio in the entire world (because of this, Twilo became known as one of the premier club venues in the world and residencies or occasional gigs were highly sought after by the top DJs worldwide, i. Until its closing in 2001, Twilo was the most beloved and its critics charged most played-out Nightclub to grace the streets of New York City since the e. Sasha & Digweed, Paul VanDyk, Carl Cox, etc). However, Twilo was Junior's and only Junior's on Sunday mornings, and at other events DJs had to use a "guest booth" at floor-level as no other DJ was allowed in Junior's personal booth ever. "Juniorverse" @ Twilo lasted until May 5, 2001 when the party was abruptly shut down by order of the city just hours before Junior's party was due to begin. Events 553 - The Second Council of Constantinople begins 1215 - Rebel Barons renounce their allegiance to King John Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. With the demise of Twilo, Vasquez began a new Sunday morning after-hours residency which he named "Earth" and whose home was the highest capacity club space in NYC, Exit Nightclub. Junior's Earth @ Exit ended without fanfare in 2002 amidst discontent from fans and [reportedly] Vasquez himself. In the years that followed, he held shorter-lived residencies at various clubs in New York, including Discotheque (Fridays), Soundfactory on W 46th St (so-named by Richard Grant who retained legal rights to the name and opened in a new space shortly after the closure of the 27th St original space); Pacha) (the newest incarnation of the 46th St location following the dramatic closing & ousting of former owner Grant); Spirit (the yet-again-remodeled and reopened Sound Factory & Twilo space at 530 West 27th Street); and Roxy NYC. Pacha is a clubbing franchise with headquarters in Ibiza. The first Pacha club was opened in Sitges outside Barcelona in 1967.

In addition to his work as a DJ and Remixer, he has co-produced albums for John Mellencamp, For Real, Lisa Lisa, Cyndi Lauper, among others, and individual LP tracks for Madonna, Cher, Wild Orchid, Kristine W, and others.

Madonna controversy
Vasquez had a public falling out with Madonna in 1996, after the release of an unauthorized single titled "If Madonna Calls". Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie (born August 16 1958 known as Madonna, is an American Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) "If Madonna Calls" is a song that Junior Vasquez made after Madonna and he had a falling-out in 1996 The original version that Junior plays at nightclubs contains what is widely believed to be an actual phone message from Madonna left on Junior's answering machine[1].
The song lyrics are as follows:
(voice recording ostensibly left by Madonna on Junior's answering machine at his home in New York):
- "Hello Junior, This is Madonna. Lyrics (in singular form Lyric) are a set of words that accompany music either by speaking or singing The City of New York Are you there? (short pause) Call me in Miami. "
This is followed by a male voice:
- "If Madonna calls, I'm not here"
This is followed by hard tribal rhythms, with the samples of the message still playing in the loop of the track, and a male voice repeating the words shown above. Towards the end of the song, the words change and the male voice then says:
"If Madonna Calls…actually if she calls just disconnect her. "
While the male vocal "If Madonna calls, I'm not here. " originated on a 1992 release by an unrelated artist and was similarly sampled in the less-known "What We Need" by Sam Traxx ("UMM EP", 1995), Vasquez reportedly produced & released his own version after Madonna failed to show up for a surprise performance at Junior's party at legendary New York City club "Tunnel" at the last second. The City of New York Tunnel was a large New York City Nightclub with multiple rooms on several levels Although never confirmed, Madonna did not approve of Junior's actions, ending their professional relationship on bad terms. Chances for a reconciliation are impossible according to Madonna's longtime rep Liz Rosenberg, who in a June 2003 news story in New York Magazine said “I can assure you that Madonna will never work with Junior again. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. New York is a weekly magazine concerned with the life culture politics and style of New York City. ”[2]
Vasquez continues to create white label (unofficial) remixes for Madonna tracks, playing them at club events and readily available on many p2p systems. However, several mixes credited to Vasquez may or may not be from him as there is no official release to confirm.

Selected remixes
Note: The industry standard by which a remix is considered "commercially released" is the track has been made available legally for retail sale. This can mean the remix was released on a CD single, 12" vinyl single, cassette single, or it can mean the remix was released on one of the artist's albums (sometimes on greatest hits collections, sometimes as a bonus track to a studio album's international release), or that it was included on a compilation or soundtrack album. The tracks listed below have all been released commercially in one of the aforementioned forms, with a few exceptions which are indicated with a note in parenthesis explaining the track's status. With the advent of Internet-selling using programs such as iTunes, that type of release is also considered commercial as it results in a profit and the artist and management oversee what is available on such programs. iTunes is a proprietary digital media player application introduced by Apple Inc
