These mixes were taken from multi-generation tape recordings. We have endeavoured to find the original owners in advance but to no avail. We have given these mixes a little audio clean to reduce some of the additional noise of the recording and from tape copies whilst still maintaining some the original vibe.

True New York experience: Head to the Garage the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, party till 2 am, head home on the subway to change & head out to my store (I was a Macys employee back then) to get on the bus to bring you to wherever where you changed into your costume for the Thanksgiving Day Parade, did the parade, & made it home by 2 pm for that fabulous dinner. Memories for a lifetime.

Im so grateful, i had the wonderful privilege, of experincing Paradise Garage from 1978-1987 closing, Saturday night special we called it! The Garage was raw, an incredibly hot 🔥🔥 club! I was 16 yrs old, the first time Alida, had noel let me in, Noel Garcia, a great guy, @ the door downstairs! I lived for this place and Larry knew his dancers, he would keep bis eyes, on his dancers? Precious, treasured memories of a magical, Golden time! Keith Crandell, Jerome Harris, Kenny and John, my crew RIP. Man i miss that place!💯 Paradise Garage forever❤️

No shade at the KZfaq video sound, but these tracks that Larry Levan is playing here sound sooooo much better if you were actually there inside the PG club. The feel of all the floor shaking beats, Bass, Highs & Lows were so incredible. BEST system around! They put $$ in that system for perfection! It was like you were in another world of sound and the feeling of great music...I have not to this day experienced anything like that!

I was a NY club dj at the time of this program. Few tracks here were radio hits, yet most received airplay and all were big club hits. Larry did tons of remixes for the great West End Records. His work on Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" is legendary and was sampled by other artists for years afterward.

It was the ultimate dance experience. During the 80s, I danced many nights away at Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage. Since they closed, I put my dancing shoes up because I did not want anything to take away those memories. If I never dance again, I feel like I've already danced in paradise. Larry Levan was a huge icon. By the way, I also worked for the man who designed and created the sound system for Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage, the great Richard Long. Life was so magical during the late 70s and 80s in New York City. And you know what the catalyst of it all was? It was the music. In order for us to get back to that, the music has to change (which I don't think it will).
