CHRISTMAS AT THE ICE PALACE WITH DJ HEX HECTOR took place on Thursday, December 20, 2007 9:00 PM - 2:00 AM
at Celebrities Night Club
in VANCOUVER BC. More details on the event are below.
Scan Hex's discography, and the credits are staggering: Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, *NSYNC, Anastacia, Enrique Iglesias, Jessica Simpson, and Aretha Franklin are just a fraction of the artists who have received Hex's golden touch.
The darlings of clubland have also been graced many times with Hex's finesse: Everything but the Girl, Kristine W and Kim English are just a few of the dance artists who have benefited from Hex's ability to straddle the line between mainstream and underground acceptance. His and Mac Quayle's collaborations with Deborah Cox have been so groundbreaking that they have made her an enduring dance icon and redefined her fan base in the process.
Hex Hector was born and raised in New York, and he was influenced by a broad array of sounds from an early age. "I grew up in two households, my immediate family's and my grandmother's," Hex explains. "Music was always on at both households, especially my Grandma's. I had a very hip grandmother, to say the least. I was treated to everything from Santana to Cal Tjader to Al Green to Tito Puente to Salsoul to the Rolling Stones."
Hex's Grammy win for Remixer of the Year in 2001 confirmed what a legion of enthusiastic club and radio supporters already knew: possibly nobody else was better at making pop stars matter on the dance floor, or making dance divas matter on the pop charts. He has not looked back since, unleashing classic after classic so often, it is easy to forget a few along the way?but not because they are forgettable records. Rather, there are so many that one's mind becomes overworked trying to recall each one. It is that legacy that has defined Hex's career, and which sets the cornerstone for where he is headed today.
