Episode 141: Kevin & Irene get married - by Elian & Ines 01-18-2025

[MUSIC AND WINE Radio]

So the DJ's DJ Kevin Ruiz gets married to the love of his life Irene Reyes. For those in our international audience, he is the one who gets some of the credit for bringing New York underground house music from his place of birth, New Jersey, to the Philippines at the tender age of 17, with consequential residencies at clubs like ABG's, 78Orange, Government, Imperial Ice Bar, and others.
Who can forget his marathon sets at "Orange" circa 2002 on Saturday nights until 7:30am playing tracks like "Rapture" and "Dark Beat" to a packed dancefloor? I certainly can't.
The number of DJs in attendance at this wedding is a testament to this humble man's body of work and the lives he's touched, both personally and professionally, over the last 25+ years. Spotted in the crowd were Wendell Garcia, Benjo Marquez, Tony Pavia, Sanya Smith, Ornusa Cadness, and Mark Morales.
Since this is a exceptional wedding, Inés and I teamed up to put together an extra special set for the couple, one we worked "sleepless nights" to research and compile, taking it on the road to test aspects of it on various audiences over the last few months. And here's the final product!
Never have we been so proud to be the Principal Sponsors at a wedding! Wishing Kevin and Irene a wonderful life together, as we continue to witness this unique love story unfold.
