D.J. and producer Abel Aguilera is a legend. And the legend will get his due at Score on Saturday, June 20 at the party to celebrate his 30 years in the music industry. I talked to Abel to find out the key to his longevity and how he is still one of the hottest deejays around. 

Sheri Elfman: How do you think your style has changed in the past 30 years?

Abel Aguilera: My style of mixing hasn't changed, the style of music has, so I have to keep up to date, or else I wouldn't be here 30 years later, LOL! I still have a little bit of 1979 in me, but I'm in full force with 2009! 

SE: Where is your favorite place to spin?

AA: In random order, Miami, NYC, Brazil, Amsterdam. But if I had to pick one, hmm. . . it would be a tie between Miami and NYC. 

SE: What's unique about spinning in Miami?

AA: Baby, Miami is the land of CHACHA!  It's the tropical air!  

SE: What has been your proudest/best moment as a deejay?

AA: My proudest moment is this June 20, 2009 when I see my crowd and say, Thank you for God, for such an amazing 30 years in this Industry. I couldn't have asked for anything better, besides the Lotto!  

SE: Who is YOUR favorite DJ?

AA: There's actually three of my favorite deejays. Me, Myself, and I. There's a variety of deeajys in this world, each day more and more, all distinctively unique in their own way, it would be very difficult for me to choose one, due to the fact that I admire them all for what they bring to the dancefloor. On that note, Thanks to everyone who has given me their love and support throughout all these years. We'll see you on a dancefloor near you soon!
