In this video, I interview Angel Flores, also known as "Phataxel" in the beginning days of New York City Dance Dance Revolution. Angel's involvement in the New York City Dance Dance Revolution was pivotal to the growth of the landscape of the community at the time, and his legacy in the beginning days of the game cannot be understated.

We talk about his beginnings in DDR, what it was like to play in New York City in the early 2000s, climbing up the ranks in skill level, playing In The Groove, and winning the 2006 DDR@NYC Digital Life Freestyle Tournament at Jacob Javit's Center.
