Nights at now-defunct New York nightclub Paradise Garage have become the stuff of legend over the years. The seminal venue played host to countless nights of disco and early house bliss during its ten-year run (1977-1987), many of them helmed by seminal selector Larry Levan, whose name alone rightly causes many-a DJ to get all misty eyed, such was his prowess behind the decks. Countless selectors from across generations cite both the club and Leven as key influences in their career (whether they were lucky enough to attend in person or not), and London's own Ministry of Sound was even inspired by Paradise Garage. Thus, MoS seems a fitting location to celebrate the club and its music.
New York stalwarts Danny Krivit and Victor Rosado play the Box, spinning classic PG-style house and disco, and funky French sensation The Reflex will also be busting out his delightfully danceable remix skills. Also on this ace bill are Ministry's co-founder Justin Berkmann, London's own NYC-style disco dons Horse Meat Disco, Frankie Foncett, David Piccioni, Ricky Morrison and many more. There'll even be an appearance by turbo-lunged disco heroine Jocelyn Brown. As it's a school night (Sunday), things kick off at 4pm and finish at midnight. All profits will go to Terrence Higgins Trust UK and New York's Gay Men's Health Crisis.
