NYC PEECH BOYS - life is something special // Philly Vanilli 2025 Edit

On The Final Nights Of Paradise, Levan is immortalised as sonic commander in chief. The mix compilation doubles as a sketchbook of a canon that remains largely embedded in dance music today. Garage classics like MFSB's old-school vogue theme "Love Is the Message" and First Choice's effusive disco hit "Doctor Love" promenade alongside jacking Chicago-born staples like Adonis' 303 masterpiece "No Way Back." If you wanted to give a brief history of club classics to someone just out of a 50-year coma, this set could serve as a terrific crash course.

Levan's messy mixing aesthetic is on full display here, but there are stretches in which the mix advances without a hitch—particularly a disco-heavy section on vinyl #3, where Levan bumps things along with a series of quick, well-timed cuts. But his scrappier mixing style yields an unexpected reward, even now, almost 40 years in the future.

The Final Nights Of Paradise abounds with the kinds of shocks that DePino rhapsodised. "I'm happy and I'm gay," a voice calls out as HMJ's "Hyped" bounces energetically along and then, wham! an explosion of glitter as the outro of Carl Bean’s early Pride anthem "I Was Born This Way" takes over. The mix takes an abrupt left from Loleatta Holloway's laid-back "Dreamin'" to Serious Intention's dubby proto-house "You Don't Know," rendering a wobbly but determined bridge between eras.

Sometimes you can hear Levan correct his overzealousness. When Man Friday's "Real Love" comes in sloppily on top of Diana Ross' slow-burning "Once in the Morning," he quickly fades out to resolve the clatter. Elsewhere, he seems content to ride out a shaky transition—for a good two minutes, the arpeggiated synths of Chantal Curtis' "Hit Man" wiggle in and out of step with the preceding track, Harvey Mason's "Groovin' You." A rambunctious hand drum solo adds to the glorious cacophony.

Levan famously wove a narrative into his song selection; it was why he was said to prefer vocal tracks to their instrumental counterparts. There's a sense of finality on songs like Adonis' "No Way Back," in which the baritone vocal whispers, "Too far gone, ain't no way back." But there's also a starburst of hope for the future.

"That night, Larry played beautifully, like it wasn't the end," recalled Garage staple Michele Saunders in a retrospective piece on the Garage's closing weekend for Document. "The only difference was that it had been going for three days non-stop. People were strolling in a daze. They did not leave. Later, everyone met at Washington Square Park after the club."

In the interim, Larry played other spots in New York such as the Choice, Mars and the Palladium. He toured Japan, where he was idolised, and applied his touch to Nami Shimada's sparkling "Sun Shower." Even as a remixer, that quintessential Larry brusqueness was on show. Struggling to get the mix right, he thundered a message through producer Soichi Terada's answering machine: "Mr. Levan calling Mr. Terada. Mr. Terada, I need to know the key of your fucking song!"

Levan's life ended on a bittersweet and unresolved note. In Maestro, Knuckles recalled spinning at Sound Factory and having Levan visit him in the booth after the Garage shut. "He said if he had a choice of things happening for him now as opposed to ten years before, he would have chosen now, because he would've been able to appreciate it a whole lot better," he said.

Levan's presence is still keenly felt in New York nightlife, both in the careers that he spawned and the songs he catapulted to ubiquity. "He's the reason why this job is what it is, why it's a career," Knuckles once said. And he's right: The Final Nights of Paradise sounds radically contemporary nearly 40 years after on. So many of these tracks continue to regularly fire up the dance floor as if days, not decades, have passed since their initial release.

2025-07-03 Andrew Allsgood Vinyl Guest Mix

Disco, is the roots of house music.
I tryed to figure out what are the best disco track ever, in order to share it.
I did a 1000+ ranking mainly based on the one already done by discomusic.com website. (now closed)
- A top 700 based on 70's & 80's Disco Djs ranking of this era.
- A top 500 based on discomusic.com member's votes.

I add to these ranking 5 top 100 given by different Gen AI : Chat GPT, Mistral AI, Gemini, Claude & Deep Seek.
I supress the mistakes they have made and create a final ranking.

Now i have a ranking, i start a mix series of these best tracks, and broadcast them on ONIB Disco radio.

Here is the play list of the first one.
1 - Alec R. Costandinos; The Syncophonic Orchestra - Romeo & Juliet (Acts I & II) [Casablanca - 1978]
2 - Voyage - Souvenirs [Sirocco - 1978]
3 - Jackie Moore - This Time Baby [Columbia - 1979]
4 - Cerrone - Love in 'C' minor [Malligator - 1976]
5 - Donna Summer - MacArthur Park Suite [Casablanca - 1989]
6 - Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way [Motown - 1977]
7 - Bionic Boogie - Risky Changes [Polydor - 1977]
8 - Dan Hartman - Vertigo; Relight My Fire [Blue Sky - 1979]
9 - The Tramps - Disco Inferno [Atlantic - 1976]

DiscoPony Classics #01 | Disco Boogie & Funk  | ONIB radio

Just under 2 hours of tracks celebrating two influential clubs that set the groundwork for modern clubbing (alongside The Loft). I was too young to know of their existence back then but I grew up in a house in which its music was always being played. If I had a disco Time Machine   I would definitely visit these clubs. 

Expect remixes, and special edits/reworks of McFadden & Whitehead, Sister Sledge, Donna Summer, ELO, Idris Mohammed, and Harold Melvin & Bluenotes and loads more!

DJ at The Alchemist, The Ivy and Flight Club Darts.

Jorge Branco aka Dj White, iniciou a sua carreira como Dj profissional/residente no inicio da década de 80 embora, ainda em finais dos anos 70, tenha animado inumeras festas de garagem , em plena era "Disco-Sound", pré-New Wave. As "velhinhas" cassetes e o vinil (mais os albúns e os singles que os maxis, estes, ainda pouco comercializados em Portugal) dominavam as cabines dos Djs. Os pratos com pitch eram "mentira", embora lá por fora aparecessem os primeiros modelos do lendário Technics 1200. Por estas alturas, o CD ainda fazia parte da ficção cientifica. 
   *As noites torrejanas de então (77, 78 e 1979), eram lideradas pela discoteca Bobs, casa pequena (cabia integralmente na pista de dança da actual Emotion) mas com muita "alma" e onde decorreram alguns dos melhores concursos de dança da região.  Dj Mafra e Jorge Miguel, eram os Djs de serviço, apresentando ao público torrejano algumas reliquias importadas através de "mão amiga" por Alfredo Serra (o gerente). Foi aqui, bem como no Dom Papagaio de Mira d´Aire (outra casa marcante para toda uma geração), que Dj White tomou conhecimento com as sonridades Disco e Funky que chegavam tanto de Inglaterra como dos USA. Village People, Kool & the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire e Michael Jackson (quando ainda era negro), escutados e dançados em primeira mão. Foi também neste espaço que Jorge Branco deu os seus primeiros passos como Dj (de discoteca), com uma mesa de mistura e dois "pratos" na cabine, mesmo sem o tal pitch.  
  Depois de uma passagem pela já extinta Galáxia (no Entroncamento e verdadeiramente a primeira "coisa" parecida com uma discoteca a sério na região), inaugura a 10 de Junho de 1983, a Discoteca Fame Club em Torres Novas, onde permanece como residente até ao inicio dos Anos 90. Apesar do seu tamanho (era de facto de pequena dimensão, embora não muito mais que outras existentes actualmente na região) tinha uma cabine de luxo para aqueles tempos, apresentando os primeiros Technics SL-1210 Mk2 no distrito de Santarém. Finalmente era possível começar a "misturar" a sério, algo até então impensável.
  Pelo meio (em 1984/85) é também Dj convidado na extinta Pim Pim em Tomar, outra das discotecas marcantes da década de 80 no distrito de Santarém. No inicio dos Anos 90 e após a sua saida da Fame Club, Dj White é convidado para residente no Lagar, na Golegã, onde permanece pouco mais de 1 Ano. Em 1993, inicia uma nova etapa na sua carreira, na lendária Swing no Entroncamento, onde permanece como residente até à data de encerramento desta casa.    Nesta enorme casa (enorme não só pela sua dimensão como também na influência na noite ribatejana), partilhou a cabine com Djs Nacionais de referência, como Dj Vibe, X-Man aka Mário Roque, Dj Jiggy, Luis e Paulo Leite, The Fox, Miguel Simões e muitos outros. 
   Segue-se no mesmo espaço e a abrir o Ano 2000, a KO, casa que pouco mais de 6 meses após a sua abertura sofre um duro revés, com um incidente infeliz, de todos conhecido. Este incidente, acaba por afectar definitivamente o seu futuro, apesar de todo o empenho da sua equipa profissional. 
De saída da  KO, Dj White regressa a Torres Novas, ingressando na Destilaria, onde permanece cerca de 1 Ano. Após esse periodo, em 2001/2002, é também residente em Lisboa, no Cool Café, na antiga Expo. 
  A 27 de Dezembro de 2002, inaugura em Torres Novas, a Discoteca Emotion, onde permanece até à data. 
Ao longo da sua residência na maior discoteca de Torres Novas, tem o prazer de trabalhar com alguns músicos, cantores e Djs de topo mundial como Robin S, Kim Cooper, Jaba, Gary Nesta Pine, Juan Magan, Bodytalk, Hallux, Sebastian Gamboa, Massivedrum, Maddox, Oskar Dj, Tommy Guitar, La Mouche, Nelson Freitas e muitos outros.
   Desde as noites Remember. . . Good Times, com o melhor dos Anos 70, 80 e 90, às noites Latinas, Passagens de Ano e Carnaval, passando pelo House (+ ou - comercial consuante o tipo de público presente), Dj White é um Dj versátil, procurando ir ao encontro dos gostos do grande público, através da experiência e conhecimentos musicais adquiridos ao longo de mais de 4 décadas de carreira.

Marin describes himself and his music as such: "I am no disc jockey at all... real and renowned dj's like Larry Levan or David, Nicky, Tony, Frankie and Danny would have agreed. If I was playing dance hall I'd be called a selector and it is in fact a better description. My mixing style is closer to that made most famous by legendary dj David Mancuso and is often called a drop-mix. My music choice for this diary? Well diaries speak to past events and so I like paying particular attention to the chillout classics of just yesterday with one or two gems you might not have heard before and with an attitude that every dj enjoys... to play what you like and feel and hope that there is an audience willing to listen."
