Mr. Mauricio

Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Opium Garden, Tuesdays and Fridays, Mansion

The smooth Mr. Mauricio is a member of one of the top DJ crews in the country, New York DJ Enuff’s exclusive cabal the Heavy Hitters. But that’s not the only reason Mr. Mauricio carries so much clout. Faithful listeners to 103.5 the Beat (WMIB-FM) hear his Beatdown mixes every weekday from 5:00-6:00 p.m. And, of course, he helps lock down Opium Garden/Prive’s two biggest hip-hop nights, Betty Ford Thursdays and Ritual Sundays, cutting up radio rap hits with a ferocity that keeps the dance floors jumping. — Mosi Reeves
