Abel Aguilera
His production and remixing team, Rosabel, continues to churn out #1 Billboard dance hits including Rihanna’s “Only girl in the world”, ”Wepa” by Gloria Estefan “Papi” by Jennifer Lopez, and the insanely huge circuit anthem “Chacha Heels” by Rosabel featuring Jeanie Tracy. The team has also worked with the likes of Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, and who could forget their remix of Cher’s “Different Kind of Love”? DJ Abel is undoubtedly at the top of his game and in an industry overrun by fledgling DJs aspiring to follow in his footsteps, he ranks even beyond the title of “super DJ”.
He is among the select group of “uber DJs.” Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Miami, Florida, Abel Aguilera has always had a passion for house music.
He was given his first pair of turntables and a mixer at fifteen years old and within a year, was spinning high school parties, sweet sixteen’s and weddings. Soon enough, he was spinning career defining Miami nightclubs including “Club 1235”, “Waterfront”, “Paragon”, “Salvation” and he also had a radio mix show on Miami’s Super Q FM 107. Abel’s profile among the circuit community skyrocketed in March of 1992 with the opening of Paragon in South Beach, Miami.
South Beach was the epicenter of the U.S. circuit scene, Paragon was the undisputed crown jewel, and Abel reigned supreme as the club’s resident Saturday night DJ.
Partiers reveled at Abel’s explosive blend of heavy tribal beats, diva anthems, and retooled classics and with his new status, Abel enjoyed a plethora of headlining offers from clubs and parties from around the world.
He expertly selected the best opportunities and by the time Salvation closed its doors in 2001, Abel had solidified his position among the elite after-hour DJs.
He had branded his name with two of the circuit’s biggest parties – One Mighty Weekend @ Disney and New York City’s “Alegria” – and with Chicago-based Legendary DJ, Ralphi Rosario, had produced the “Grammy Award Nominee” production and remixing team, Rosabel. “My success boils down to two words,” explains Abel. “Chacha”. You gotta give them the cha-cha. “The Latin blood that runs through my veins is in my music too and that’s what keeps the bodies grooving.
Nothing gets the ass shaking more than Latin beats” ! You can experience Abel’s cha cha for yourself at circuit events and major parties throughout the world and at his regular headlining gigs at “Alegria” in New York City, and “URGE” in South Beach.
He has also released a handful of “Alegria” compilation dance mix cds. Rosabel’s latest Single , “Let me be myself” Featuring Tamara Wallace, is out now, and released by Tommy Boy Records, Silver Label
