BILLBOARD - July 24, 2004

What happens when inspiration for a dance-pop jam is derived from Rossini's classic opera "The Barber of Seville"? Well, in the hands of Don Manuel—aka singer Manny Perez and producer Monster Taxi (aka Jason Klein, who masterminded last year's "Ave Maria" by Magic Sauce)—it is jarring and endearing. It's also one of those quirky, left-of-center, sugar-coated confections that, given the right promotion (or placement in the right TV ad), could become this year's one-hit wonder in the United States or the United Kingdom. In the radio-friendly original version, Perez's operatic stylings are surrounded by rock-hued electronic beats (à la Fatboy Slim) and zany, cartoon-like synth swirls. As fun as this version is, many club DJs will simply find it too pop. For them, DJ Cubanito and Andy Sikorski deliver, respectively, tasty tribal and trance reconstructions. While this one may be an acquired taste, it helps to keep an open mind. Written by Michael Paoletta (Album and Single Reviews)

BILLBOARD - April 5, 2003

Miami-based producer remixer Jason Klein (who also records under the Monster Taxi moniker) recently reconstructed tracks by Jim Brickman, Los Tigres Del Norte, and late Cuban singer Beny More. These days, Klein is busy collaborating with singers Pepper Mashay and former Expose member Gioia. At the same time, he's shopping a finished track, "Soho" by Chaz Hart (aka Klein and DJ Austin Leeds). Equal parts Daft Punk and Dirty Vegas, "Soho" is the type of track that could effortlessly traverse that slippery slope between underground club credibility and mainstream radio success.

Jason Klein produces 7 tracks for the release of Beny More's "The King of Son"(March 2003)
Instead of releasing another greatest hits package for famed Cuban singer, Beny More, BMG and RCA records enlisted Jason Klein to produce adaptations of the famed the singer, who passed away 40 years ago. The CD contains 7 of Jason's productions, along with the original masters, plus 5 never before heard recordings from Beny.

Using Beny's original vocals and his horn sections, Jason created new music and rhythms. Klein collaborated with such notable artists and producers as rapper P-Dirty, dance remixer Alex Carmenates and dance artist "Oba" Frank Lords. Beny More's classics are mixed with various styles of music including hip hop, rock, Euro dance club, and 50's doo-wop.

Klein's production of "Bonito y Sabroso 2003" is set to be the first single with video and radio play.

Grammy winners "Los Tigres Del Norte" of Mexico take a ride on the Monster Taxi (Dec 2002)
Monster Taxi recently remixed Los Tigres Del Norte's hit single "La Reina Del Sur". A ranchero band with a sound reminiscent of Polka meets country, Jason Klein combined it with hip hop and raggaton beats and samples from the Miami Vice theme song. Jason had the honor of having latin rapper Enos provide crazy raps and chants to the Monster Taxi mix. Enos' track "Leche" has been all over the latin charts during fall of 2002.

Monster Taxi takes Jim Brickman into the dance clubs (Fall 2002)
Famed pianist and composer, Jim Brickman collaborated with Jane Krakowski (Ally McBeal's secretary) for the ballad "You". Monster Taxi and Guiseppe Di provided the radio and club mixes. Both versions have been charting all the country in various record pool charts and can be heard on mix shows and on DJ promo CD's.
