These re-mixes produced by DJ Willie have helped the genre of Reggaeton crossover into mainstream America by taking a hot Hip-hop or rap song and making a Reggaeton re-mix out of it.

“I started doing these re-mixes out of necessity rather then just doing them for the hell of it!” DJ Willie explains. “What happened is it became a hip thing to do. Labels are looking at it as another form of music because it is getting so much exposure on the new formatted radio-stations that keep popping up.”

DJ Willie is currently working on being the 1st LATIN DJ to have his own retail-ready mixtape titled: “REGGAETON HITZ 2006” which will have an early March 2006 store release.
