Nod to The Legend · The producers · 1954–1992
Larry Levan
Paradise Garage, New York
Levan DJ'd at the Paradise Garage from 1977 to 1987, on a sound system tuned by Richard Long, mixing disco, soul and dub-style effects in the moment.
Still heard: Club sound systems, and DJs as performers, owe the Garage.
