Welcome to the highly popular spiritual pilot for The Word Is Love show celebrating Larry Levan’s birthday whom was born on 24th July 1954.

In this show we cover some of the finest signature tracks that were  played by Larry Levan at The Paradise Garage. 

Covering Disco, Funk, Rare Groove, House, Synth-pop, Latin and Soul; you know the drill, non stop easy listening funky disco grooves from start to finish.

To describe Larry Levan here is an article from The Guardian:

"Larry Levan was the first superstar DJ. The first to really convince the world that there was more to DJing than just playing one record after another. For 10 years from 1977 to 1987, Levan was the star attraction at New York’s legendary Paradise Garage, writing himself into clubbing lore with swashbuckling DJ sets that took in minimal underground disco, funky rock, dub and synth-pop, which foreshadowed the house music revolution. At the same time, his uncanny ability to mix and tweak records for maximum emotional impact would regularly send his devoted congregation into raptures."

The mix has been put together using a 'Shooting from the hip' style of cut mixing and blending.

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with Love.

Enjoy the good vibes!
