Who is this Filling In For Magic? From Early 1985

Hold up... I need your help. From the same tape that's labeled January 23rd, 1985 comes a portion of a show where there is a guest filling in for Mr. Magic. The question is, who is it? Anybody know? Could be obvious to some, but sometimes I just don't know these things. I hear Starchild on the mic, but he's not the main personality hosting the show. I dig how he has his own sign off, over New Edition's Is This The End -

We want you to keep the faith, keep the juice, and never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, okay? Peace, love and happiness, and may the juice be with you. Ciao.

Fun House Disco Ad From 1983 - Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, New Edition

Fun House Ad (1983) -

Friday night, May the 20th at the Fun House Disco, on 26th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues in New York City, It's the funk, the pump... a reggae party starring Kurtis Blow, Visual, Sweet G, Stargaze, Warp 9, and Run-DMC, along with special guest performances by the "Planet Rock" performer, "Candy Girl" guys and a surprise "Pass the Dutchie" performance. Remember this date - Friday, May 20th at the Fun House Disco.

This sounds like a memorable show at the legendary Funhouse venue. Mr. Magic is the voice on the ad. What's up with the references to Afrika Bambaataa, New Edition and Musical Youth without saying their actual stage names?? The Planet Rock performer? The Candy Girl guys? Anybody know what the deal is with that?
