Pro-Motion sponsored this amazing Paradise Garage tribute. I wasn't there 25 years ago - but for one night I felt like a part of history. I strongly recommend that everyone pick up a copy of Mel Cheren's book Keep on Dancin': My Life and the Paradise Garage - a truly magical recount of gay history and a wonderful introduction to DJ Culture (you can read where Junior and the other first generation New York DJ's got their start).
