Larry Levan - Live At The Paradise Garage
Review by John Hutch
Live At The Paradise Garage by Larry Levan is a must-have for any disco and house music fan. The album captures the legendary DJ's live set at the iconic Paradise Garage nightclub in New York City in 1985. The album features a mix of disco, funk, and house tracks that will transport listeners to the golden age of dance music.
Levan's mixing skills are on full display throughout the album, seamlessly blending tracks to create a non-stop party vibe. The energy of the crowd is palpable, and you can feel the excitement and joy that the music brought to the Paradise Garage.
The album features tracks from artists such as Chic, Chaka Khan, and Inner Life, as well as lesser-known gems that Levan discovered and championed. The standout tracks include the funk-infused "Love Thang" by First Choice and the soulful "Is It All Over My Face" by Loose Joints.
