    The Paradise Garage was a
    nightclub notable in the history of modern gay and nightclub cultures
    and in dance and pop music. It was founded by Michael Brody, its sole
    proprietor, and was located at 84 King Street, New York City. It
    operated from 1976 to 1987 and was the base for DJ Larry Levan. Its
    name derives from its origins as a parking garage. The Paradise
    Garage’s business model was largely inspired by David Mancuso’s Loft
    parties: no liquor was served, there were no sales of food or
    beverages, and the club was not open to the general public.

    The sound system was developed by
    Richard Long and Associates (RLA) and was said by those that attended
    to be the best in New York City at that time. The club has been
    credited for its influence on the development of the modern dance
    club as it is today: unlike other clubs of its time, the Paradise
    Garage was focused on dancing rather than social interaction, and it
    was the first to put the DJ at the center of attention.

    Maybe you were one of the thousands of
    people who were devoted weekly members for 10yrs. Maybe your current
    favorite dj/s /producers were members of this club getting their
    musical education/inspiration and now travel the world entertaining
    1000’s of people weekly. Maybe you have seen some documentaries,
    viewed pictures devoted to this venue and befriended some former
    members and listen to their stories.

    Maybe you have no idea what this venue
    meant and still means to this day to the house music community. And
    thats ok.

    Well here is your chance to relive
    history and create history as the past is brought together with the
    current and the future on Labor Day Weekend.
