Not a huge Madge fan, but I like this song. What's JellyBean doing nowadays?

Last I heard he was still deejaying....

Jellybean is a good friend of mine. He is still Djing here in NY City. I saw him spinning at the Sullivan Room for his monthly, "Ain't Nuttin But A House Party", gigs. He still can play his ass off, and I mean that as a fan and as a fellow DJ. My favorite mixes by him are "Say, Say, Say", By Mac & Jack and Spillin' The Beans".

I remember when he was doing the funhouse..

Starcat, I KNOW about Wikipedia. I also know that it is not a reliable source. I figured someone on here might know some inside info on Benitez.

I first heard this song in Harlem shopping in 2006.

yeah, so do I. He was my idol, and one of the main reasons why I started D.Jing house. His remixes were dope, stuff like, "The Real Thing", "Spillin' Tha Beans", The Mexican" and "Jingo". I still play some of them from time to time. Great stuff.

This was a cat that used to edit on open reel tape

IAintTheOne said:

He still does. When I went to see him a few weeks ago, I stepped into the booth and there they were, the reels. I asked if he still uses them to edit and he just grinned.

man if I had a couple of studer decks id be using em too

IAintTheOne said:

Just go to pawn shop, Brah. I have a reel to reel that I use sometimes when I have nothing to do or if it's a holiday, and I just feel like mixing for hours. Pawn shops give great deals.

shorttrini said:

Man the Pawn shops here in Az are craaaaazy trust me on this one.

IAintTheOne said:

That's why u need to bring yourself back east. Great deals, great music and the house scene is making a comeback. Especially, in Williamsburg, where they have these clubs that used to be warehouses, back in the day.

This song takes me right back to 1985 When I hear it,I think of bright neon clothes and breakdancers,lol.

Just listened to a Casey Kasem replay and this one was in the Top 40 the week of Jan 26/86. It was number 20. Love hearing this one. It still gets play everyed so often.
