Luckily, Bermudez' early training was pivotal in his ability to spread that love of dance music to a broad audience. "By starting in radio, I learned how to program music for the masses," he explains. "By having a bigger audience from the start, I quickly learned how to keep a lot of people happy with what I play. Even in my underground mixes, there's an element of pop that attracts people who normally wouldn't listen to the genre."

Besides his killer club music, Bermudez' personality is also a big part of the attraction. Like the music he spins, the DJ is warm and approachable, high energy and always ready for a good time. Of course, it doesn't hurt that flocks of female fans (and more than a few guys, too) swoon over Bermudez' cutie-pie physical attributes. Even a simple Google search turns up more than a few remarks of the "what a hottie!" "soooo cute" and "OMG I LIKE TOTALLY LUV HIM LOL" variety.

Bermudez, however, takes it all in stride. "I never in a million years thought people would be into my DJing as much as they are, let alone how I look when I'm doing it!" he says. "So it's very, very flattering."

Bermudez has some flattering words of his own… for the Boston club scene. "My favorite part of the Boston club scene has to be the number of big name DJs that pass through town," he says.

He does have one criticism of Beantown nightlife: "People take forever to get ready for the club," he says. Like a lot of DJs, he'd rather see clubbers get the most wear and tear out of their dancing shoes. "Even though the clubs close at 2am here, people rarely show up before midnight. In those final 2 hours, most DJs are just getting warmed up!" Luckily, Bermudez' next Boston gig will last into the early hours of the morning: he's booked for RISE, Boston's only after-hours club, on January 5.

In the meanwhile, fans can get ready with his Mass Movement compilation. "Some of these are getting ready to blow up in the clubs in the next few months," says Bermudez of the track selection.

Coming from a DJ this explosive, that's quite a claim, indeed.

TRIVIA

Bermudez has worked with some of the biggest names in music. But his dream collaboration? Quincy Jones.

There's a reason why Bermudez is wearing an AC/DC t-shirt on the home page: he names their song "Back in Black" as one song that always makes him smile. As for crying? Rascal Flatts "What Hurts the Most" gets the waterworks going, every time.

Want dinner a movie with Joe Bermudez? Prepare to laugh. His favorite flick is the '80s comedy "Spaceballs."

Though he's remixed for dozens of pop stars, there is one artist whose work Joe would still love to remix: Sarah McLachlan.

He travels the world for major parties and massive events. Joe's dream gig: to rock Tokyo!
