Message from Mauricio Reyes: I'd like to say a HUGE thanks to all the kind people who voted me TOP Salsa DJ 2008 (without me even canvassing for a single vote). It's not the first time you have voted for me, so to all of you, thank you very much! I'm very fortunate, I love what I do, and even though I work extremely hard, I am very lucky, as it's easier to work hard at something when you really enjoy it. Being successful & receiving recognition is just the icing on the cake. I'm also grateful to work with some of the best people in the business, so thanks to the LatinMotion Team for keeping me on my toes. To any of you who hate my djing, sorry! (I tried)
