event description
Join us for the tenth and final Monday evening boogie in our Private Park series with a 4 hour set by Danny Krivit. Do not miss this!
Growing up in Greenwich Village, New York City, in the 1960s, Danny was surrounded by music. By 1970, Danny was already a vinyl junkie & an amateur DJ, But DJing as a profession wasn't fully realized until 1971, after a neighbor/friend of Danny's (Vice President of Polydor Records) introduced Danny to one of his artists - none other than the legendary James Brown, who gave Danny white-label promo copies of his "Get on the Good foot" and "Think" by Lynn Collins. One DJ and club stood out amongst the rest as most influential to Danny: DJ David Mancuso and The Loft. This is where he began his long time friendships with DJs Larry Levan and Francois Kevorkian (Francois K).
Since the late 70s, trade magazines such as Billboard (which he still reports to weekly), Cash Box, Record World, & Dance Music Report amongst others have listed Danny's play lists, and Danny's mix tapes have been getting airplay on radio station WBLS, WKTU, & KISS FM. He is now resident DJ of the award winning "Best Party In NYC," The 718 Sessions @ club Deep in Manhattan. Earning the status of "King Of The Re-edit" since the early 80's, he's been a major force in bringing attention & world acceptance to the art of editing, even spawning an onslaught of imitators. Danny Krivit is one of the key players in the history of NY night life & most definitely one of the very few people who can honestly say he's consistently DJ'd in all the hottest clubs in NY for the past 35 years!
