Antonio Ocasio

Real Name:
Antonio Ocasio
Profile:
Growing up in the South Bronx, New York, USA, Antonio, from a young age, was exposed to such varied rhythms, and music genres such as, Soul, Funk, Latin, Rap, Jazz, and religious African music.
In his early teens, Ocasio met a local DJ by the name of Rookie, who thought him his trade.
Despite being present at some of the seminal New York clubs of the 'classic' era, Antonio insists; "I did not go to either one of those clubs to hang out with David Mancuso, Larry Levan or Jellybean Benitez. I went to listen to some dope music and........ DANCE! From an early age I’ve Learned how to Dance from Within."
His label, Tribal Winds, is his attempt to create the music "in his heart"

Review by livfe Nov 08, 2007
Antonio Ocasio together with artists such as Jephté Guillaume & Joe Claussell have produced some of the finest cultural music to hit our ears. This man has flatly refused to "sell out" & keeping to his deep latino roots produces gem after gem of the deepest rhythms with his very talented musician friends.
Simply everything that he has released on his own brilliantly designed Tribal Winds label oozes character & quality.
A label where you just have to have every release. period.
& a personal friend of mine who I am truly honoured to know. RESPECT.
