Faro - Makin Moves Guest Show 19 JAN 2023

I invited Nicky Siano to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my "NEW YORK DISCO CLUB" party. After having hosted the only foreign appearance in the last 15 years by Paradise Garage's own David DePino or rare foreign appearances by Zanzibar's Hippie Torrales, I was so happy to welcome The Gallery's Nicky Siano. He doesn't travel much nowadays but accepted to hop on a plane to Geneva for this occasion. 

He's not a legend for nothing. Displaying an unmatched energy behind the decks and a unique way of EQing the tracks differently along their course as well as blasting the music into the room, it was truly an amazing experience. 

ENJOY!!!

Apologies for the saturation. I was on the dance floor, not behind the recorder checking the level… Also, there was an electricity cut at the end of this part. I thought it was a nice way of cutting this mix in two pieces before the electricity came back! :)

Son of jazz legend Johnny “Hammond’ Smith and singer Sonja Brown, BEAST621 aka “The Mad Monk of Mixing” was raised in the Bronx and exposed to all music genres from a very young age. As a teenager in the ‘80s, he patronized the Bronx Community Centers, the block and house parties, and the park jams where Hip Hop pioneers like Grand Master flash and the Furious 5, Kool Herc and the Herculoids, and Grand Wizard Theodore were making names for themselves. 

He saved up his earnings from a summer job at Pony Sports to purchase DJ equipment, built his own speakers, and started collecting music from there on, initially focusing on drum breaks. He went by the name of  “Grand Master Cool C”. As Hip Hop started to evolve, so did he. Hearing for the first time Larry Levan play on the Richard Long sound system at the Paradise Garage changed his perspective. Full songs were played, not just the break. From there on, his scratches and cuts grew into disco style blends. Lexxx “the listening experience” became his new musical nom de plume and his creative mixes were blends of music, sounds, and movie clips. 

Simultaneously, he was working security at NY clubs and afterhours. After hearing his maestro Timmy Regisford play one night, the Shelter became his home. The name “BEAST” stuck to him as he freely unleashed his love for the music. Often the first one at the club and the last to leave, he became a staple at Shelter. He’d sometimes worked the lights with Lil’ Ray and Ben Johnson. The name BEAST621 combines his strongest positive influences in life: The Shelter and his daughter’s birthday. His motto: “Find yourself before you can let yourself go!”

He has played parties alongside soulful house legends such as DJ Disciple, Spinna, Jellybean Benitez, Tyrone Francis, Adam Rios, Kim Lightfoot, Kalim Shabbazz, and many more.

Love Injection #25 "The Shelter Issue" A Tribute Mix by BEAST621

Was really rocked by some news yesterday in the house music community and I'm getting tired of all of the divisive discourse about presidential candidates and their supporters - and I need to do better too. But music always takes me away.  Enjoy!

Try Love (March 2020)

Sweet, soulful melodies and a profound, jazzy vibe are what you can expect from internationally acclaimed DJ Kervyn Mark. After 30 years of devotion to the underground music industry, he has carved his niche as a renaissance man who has done it all. The boundlessness of his skills does not go unnoticed in his hometown of New York City where he is labeled “the world’s busiest DJ”. In terms of his music library in term of deep soulful house and perhaps dance music as a whole, few DJ’s have number of songs that Mr. Mark has…PERIOD!!!
He is a gate keeper New York’s soulful dance music. He has produced some of the best outdoor festival events through is Melting Pot Global brand that was started in 2004. He has produced the largest events at the famed Coney Island Boardwalk where is had guests ranging from Louie Vega, John “Jellybean” Benitez, Tony Humphries, DJ Spinna, Ian Friday to the You tube famed event with Sting International that drew over 5000 revelers. He was one of the resident DJs for Jellybean’s “Ain’t Nothin’ But A House Party” for 3 years. When it comes to the soulful house scene he is the only DJ/Promoter to have created and done successful event at public parks such as Battery Park, Empire Fulton State Park, Riverbank State Park and the Frying Pan. No has been able to duplicate that. Through Melting Pot Global djs such as The Martinez Brothers got the necessary venue and press to give their careers the impetus to superstardom.
But there’s more.
He is a film maker and historian. Kervyn is the Associate Producer, Historian and Co-writer of the movie “Maestro-Documentary”; a film which explores the history, the roots, and the spirit of New York House Music. He is presently a producer of another film “Hands To The Sky” documentary turns a lens on deejays, musicians, fans and feelings inspired by outdoor soulful and deep house music dance parties. As an activist he initiated and created the “HOUSE COALITION” float that participates and is the main staple of the NYC DANCE PARADE. Starting in 2009 he engineered and created the now wildly successful “Official Paradise Garage Reunion” that draws 2000 devotees every year to hear the 2 remaining residents of the fabled club
.
The challenge of never knowing what to expect from a crowd is what drives Kervyn Mark to consistently provide a solid groove and more importantly a spiritual musical experience. And the world is unanimous: Kervyn has been booked for high profile events presented by Body and Soul NY (5 times) Roots NYC, FUNKBOX NYC, 718 Sessions, PS 1, Festivus, Soul Summit @ Fort Greene, Sundae Sermon, and the list goes on. He has played at events attended and/or hosted by Madonna. Yet Kervyn maintains his street credibility by jacking bodies both at high society gigs for places like Brooklyn Terrace(NYC) and at underground grass roots parties like Roots NYC and Funkbox. He has shared the deck with heavyweights and legends DJs Francois K, Danny Krivit, Osunlade, The Martinez Brothers, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope’ Gonzalez, Tony Humphries, Rich Medina and veritable who’s who.
The reason for Kervyn’s success is a simple ricochet effect: the love and support he receives keeps him going strong and his love of the music and the positive effect is has on all races and creeds keeps the vibe alive with determination, passion, and the upstanding mission to touch the heart of the ones who love music as much as he does.
