Junior gained national prominence -- along with music industry influence -- through his residency at the original Sound Factory in New York on W. 27th Street. Because of the heavy influence he had over his crowd, Junior was able to make or break a new club record. Soon, major labels came to Junior to provide remixes for pop-oriented songs. Junior often created his own "private collection" remixes of songs he was hired to remix -- and also for those he wasn't -- that made his sets even more special to his audience.

He became extremely notorious after his public falling out with Madonna in 1996 due to the release of an unauthorized single titled "If Madonna Calls". While the version that Junior plays at clubs contains an actual phone message from Madonna left on Junior's answering machine, the released version has a sound-alike, Kelly Bienvenue, who re-recorded the message. The song lyrics goes as follows: Madonna performs at The Astoria in central London, Saturday, Nov. ... 1996 (MCMXCVI) is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
