Synonymous with creatively-original and emotionally-charged DJ sets at revered NYC club the Paradise Garage, the curatorship of Larry Levan' sets became known as a genre in itself. This provided the earliest definition of what is now known as garage – the characteristics of which can still be heard in the genre to this day. Now, the quintessential Larry Levan compilation, "Genius of Time" captures this cultural figure as the prolific producer and remixer he was, while also being a joy to hear, bursting with full-blooded, timeless and life-affirming analogue euphony. Today, in celebration of the compilation and Levan's legacy, we have something very special for you: a full length mix of Levan and Paradise Garage classics mixed by someone who has become a scene legend in his own right: Justin Berkmann. Justin Berkmann was a core face at Paradise Garage and a key player in New York dance music scene from the eighties onwards. In 1991 Justin bought Larry Levan, tempting him out of retirement, to London to play at a little club he had founded called Ministry of Sound. Legend has it, Levan overstayed his visit by some THREE MONTHS, spending time with Justin adjusting the sound system and teaching his invaluable knowledge on the texture of sound. "Larry Levan - Genius of Time" is now available on 2xCD & Download
