Happy birthday

Larry Levan, by Keith Haring





Larry Levan alledgedly completed Walter Gibbons remix of this huge hit for Instant Funk, another "Garage Classic"

July 20th. Larry Levan's birthday. Larry was the DJ at the Paradise Garage, the nightclub that took the aesthetics and ideals of David Mancuso's loft party to the masses in New York City. Radio 6 is celebrating this with a series of documentaries culminating in the re-broadcast of a recording of the 2nd anniversary party at the Garage (it was open for 10 years). Listen again here:

Larry Levan's production outfit, The NYC Peech Boys produced this anthemic song heavily influenced by dub, disco and electronics, custom made for the insane Paradise Garage soundsystem




Larry Levan mixed this killer Taana Gardner cut for Mel Cheren's West End Records, a label closely associated to the Paradise Garage as Mel's boyfriend Michael Brody was the Garage's owner and Mel had also invested heavily into the venture - a labour of love 

 Larry Levan died November 8 1992
