The Heartbeat of the Dance Floor is  grateful for David DePino’s generosity in sharing with us these rare recordings of Larry Levan playing live at the Paradise Garage.  Digitized from the original cassettes they were recorded on, David had unique access to the equipment in Larry’s DJ booth enabling him to record the cassettes. We felt these files would be a perfect accompaniment to David’s interview on our podcast THBOTDF, Episode #005

Collage of music played at The Loft by David Mancuso and excerpts of interviews with Tim Lawrence, the author of "Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-1979" and the New York DJ David dePino.

David Mancuso invited to his first Loft party today 50 years ago, on Valentine's Day, 14th February 1970. It was a Saturday, snow lay in New York, Richard Nixon was president, people were flocking to M.A.S.H. at the movie theaters and Sly & The Family Stone topped the charts. And «Love Saves the Day» opened it’s doors to dancers on Broadway 645-647. A revolution was afoot.
