Larry Levan

We at Adult Arts Club are a little obsessed with Larry Levan. Since some of us are trying to cut back on our obsessions with Arthur Russell our love for Levan has increased to fill the void. This is an amazing mix of his productions and remixes and really captures quintessential 80s disco. If you don’t know the history behind the Paradise Garage which Levan was resident of for nearly a decade than  educate yourself – it’s kind of a heartbreaking story so get the tissue ready.  It’s mixed by DJ Spinna who is pretty amazing in his own right – check out his compilation The Boogie back, you will thank me later.
