I was living in Havana but in the roof of the building where I lived I had my antenna to get the fm band on my recorder player. I was 12 yrs old and american radio stations changed my lifestyle and mind. Never ever again I listened communist radio stations from Cuba. I miss those times when power 96 and Y100 mixed live from different clubs in Miami.

Same here! Grew up in Camaguey, and still remember the antenna I built from scratch to be able to listen to P96! I could say this radio station in the early 90s changed a lot of people’s lives, especially where we come from. It did to me too so I don’t blame you at all!

for those of us who grew up in south FL NO one better than Lazaro Mendez

Never heard any other radio stations like Power96 and y-100 in the 80's and 90's. Different time and sound. It was a blessing to have grown up with that. 😊

As a kid living in Fl in the late 80s and early-mid 90s was such a great time; miss those days.

Esto es música. La encontré hoy mi preferida .No paren .candela.los sigo todos los dias.desde cuba .ya no hacen falta antenas.esto si es lo mejor .No se me olvida .pa ser 96 .de los 80 y 90 .estoy con .ustedes .tiren .paca .desde.cuba.acere.fuego..Esto es musica.

Born and Raised in South Floroda. Started at Rollaway Skateway DJing at 13 then the clubs.Laz, myself and Bobby Smith hungout. I miss those days. Always trying to get the newest music first before the station played it. Spinnin live at clubs...Facade, Spinners, Ricks Bar, Casanova's, Deco's...The list goes on. Miss you my DJ friend!

Ahhh I was a teen back then in South Florida and LOVED Power 96. This takes me back

Fire! Listening with my parents right now haha! I was born in 1990 but this music runs in my blood.

I moved from New York and Miami was live with these type of music while roller blading @HotWheels

Dearn! You definitely took us back in time there!! I remember my white IROC-Z lowered to the floor with beautiful Hammer wheels and low profiles. And of course, cruising down Hialeah's 49th street with the base pomping and loosing up all of my Camaro's screws!

I went to Miami every summer for a month starting when I was 12 yrs old (1984) till my mid 20's. Swam for Miami Shores all summer in 1990 and visited several times a year through the mid 2000's. NOTHING beat turning on Power 96. DJ's by the pool. Cruising A1A listening to power 96 was as good or better than being in a great dance club and rolling. Greatest time for music ever!

Lots of Kraftwerk samples in there between songs and backing. Another guy here who grew up in South Florida and DJ Laz is an absolute legend!

This brings back some good memories in the 305.

Lázaro Méndez y Tony el Tiger los mejores.desde cuba un abrazo.

2 years before I moved to Fort Lauderdale... but when I first heard the power mix... I was hooked!

Very Talented ,, those were the Great Days of Radio absolutely!!

Damn takes me back. 80's was the best. Freestyle for life.

Power 96! I still get into this; still crusin here in SouthWest Florida!😍

Yo escuchaba está Radio power 96 desde el centro Cuba me trae recuerdos de mi juventud y las antenas de FM para captar la señal de la 96

It's great to hear such high quality retro mixes from Power 96. I was lucky enough to have a very good external antenna that I hooked up to my receiver and was able to pick up Power 96 pretty clear at night and kinda clear during the daytime here in Port Charlotte, FL.

I miss my Power 96, since I moved.They really know how to keep their audiences entertained.

Power 96 south Florida! Yeah!!

Love it, I feel young again!!!!!

This just brings me back! Old School indeed!

He could and actually did solo sessions with 6 turntables during his days at Hot 105, he shared his 6 turntable mixes with another DJ who I am close friends with, and do remember visiting my friend at Hot 105 when they first set up shop on Alhambra Circle in Coral Gables Fla, during my visits I did see the Laz spin 6 turntables all by himself without a problem even tho it was a two DJ space, all skills non of the software or computers involved like they have now, had a great mentor in Rosenberg.

we were recording these sets with cassette tapes man WOOO!!

Mine were all recorded on cassettes that didn't last in the South FLorida climate with all the replays lol

Absolutely love this .....takes me back to the best days ....this was true mixing

I was jammin to this mix the night it aired, me and my boys were cruising the grove with the Fosgate amps and 15s in them IRocs , Vettes and Nissan Zs

Hi there. Elon here. Those were some amazing years. Thanks for posting this wonderful music. I have beautiful memories of being right smack in the middle of the South Florida music scene & radio scene. Was blessed enough to be asked numerous times by Bo Griffin & Tony the Tiger, to voice promo radio commercials when I was a teen, so much fun.

What a great post! No one spun freestyle as good as DJ Laz did back then....Teaz-2-Pleaz were huge all over Miami that year, I must have seen those girls a million times.

power 96 was home

I was born and raised in Stuart, Fl.Had a Grundig short wave radio,could pick up Power 96.

well i guess its been 22 years til then power 96 was a hit,i guess the mixer from the 80's or 90's is so cool because i was born June 12 1997

Would listen to this station the entire time I was in Florida.

Fort Lauderdale right here, 84 cardinal gibonds grad, glad i got to live that era.............times we lived and hope some day i will be able to relive, waiting for real time travel WHATS UP WITH DAAAAAT ????????????????

23 YEARS AGO FROM NOW!

1st Good job to renexoox and Thanks for this upload. Today renexoox you probably would not like Power 96 much. They changed thier programing some and got heavy into modern hip hop that to me is crap. I stopped listening in 2005-06 when that horrible Lucy Lopez started talking on the radio. I started listening in 88 and damn were they awesome!!! 88-92 wow did they play a lot or a ton of Freestyle music and some old school hip hop the best hip hop for me. Then came the dance era mid 90's and they were amazing then as well. Still with the mixes on friday nights and rush hour. They had lots of DJ's Laz was not the only one. All thier mixing DJ's were amazing. Late 90's early 2000's the bad ass dance/House/Trance music was in full swing. Good times:) They got lots of stuff from Europe and some local stuff that was very good. Unfortunately for me at least their programing took a nose dive mid 2000's. But thanks for the memory of the glory days of Power 96! Man did they start Strong in the Miami scene then 1986. Now my thing is XM radio. BPM to get decent dance/house like music. The things Power 96 got away from.
