RAZOR & GUIDO
Razor and Guido are a Long Island-based production duo that got their jump into the New York house scene in 1997 with the help of NY House music DJ JOHNNY VICIOUS. They where introduced to Johnny by mutual friend MTV’s DJ SKRIBBLE Johnny recognized their potential and had them do some Engineering work on his remixes for Whitney Houston, React and Veronica and immediately introduced them to then Arista A&R Hosh Gureli who took them under his wing and gave them their first remix. They hit the mainstream with a remix of Robert Miles' hit "Fable" and shortly after with a mix of Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems." This started them on a meteoric rise which eventually culminated in their first full-length album, Dance Floor, was released in mid-2000 on Groovilicious, a spin-off of the popular house label Strictly Rhythm. At the time they were working under the moniker of Razor and GO which many people confused as one person or a different project altogether, though they were just Osorio's initials. They quickly changed their name with the release of their first production single "Men Beat Their Men" which was signed by the aforementioned "Groovilicious Records" headed up by the "Golden Eared" house music master Micheal McDavid who also saw the potential in the new duo and consequently signed their next two singles "Do it again" and "Don't look behind you". DO IT AGAIN exploded one the NY HOUSE MUSIC SCENE in 1997 and solidified the DUO as true house music pioneer’s and to this day is considered a NY HOUSE MUSIC CLASSIC.

Razor and Guido's career also received a lot of help from remix guru and DJ JUNIOR VASQUEZ who plays their tracks at gigs around the world. Junior, always one to cultivate new talent, would hand RnG unreleased acapellas for them to do exclusive remixes for him, The "Razor & Guido Hour" as it came to be known at late 90's NYC super club "Twilo" was a string of new unreleased remixes that were played in succession by Junior every week, these mixes were custom made by RNG for Junior and could only be heard at Twilo giving Junior a decided edge in the quality of music in his marathon 12 hour sets!

In turn Junior catapulted the DUO into the spotlight by featuring them on his mix compilations and world wide performances. Then at the turn of the century and the top of their careers the two decided they needed a break.

Taking time off from being a duo in late 2000 they went their separate ways and did not cross paths until an astonishing 7 years later, In 2008 both were mysteriously booked for the same club. They realized that it was time to re-connect and since then not only have they had great success with remixes Including Two #1 Billboard dance mixes this past year for LaRoux and Agnes, they also secured a long deserved position as one of NY’s BILLBOARD REPORTERS as well as Launching their new RADIO SHOW called the PARTY STARTER which broadcasts every Friday and Saturday night from 10 pm to 11 pm on New York Radio station PARTY FM.

In 2010 they plan on re-releasing their hit DO IT AGAIN with fresh new remixes as well as working and developing new ARTISTS.
