Judy Weinstein has been active in dance music since the 1970s. From 1971 onwards, she attended David Mancuso's parties at The Loft in New York City and assisted Mancuso with the running of his record pool. In January 1978 and soon after, on February 1, 1978, she started a new record pool, For the Record, with Mark Riley and Hank Williams, and recruited a large number of New York's top DJs.
She also co-founded the Def Mix production company in 1987, which became the home for DJs including Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and Satoshi Tomiie. Judy Weinstein brought Def Mix to Ibiza with a long-standing residency at Pacha and served as a bridge between traditional record companies and the dance music scene by working as a consultant on remixing for PolyGram Records, A&M Records and MCA Records.
