As part of the local initiative to rename King Street Larry Levan Way, the Red Bull Music Academy paid tribute to the legacy of Levan on May 11th, 2014 with a larger-than-life block party with Joey Llanos, David DePino and François K.
Through his legendary residency at New York’s Paradise Garage, Larry Levan elevated DJing to an artform and provided the soundtrack to one of the most fertile moments in the history of dance music. Levan’s sessions throughout the ’80s at the Garage were dubbed “Saturday Mass,” an acknowledgement that – to many – going to the club was a weekly ritual of the upmost importance.
