Furthermore he sort of forced his tastes on people playing the same song four or five times in one night until the crowd got into it. He dared to be audacious.ExpatMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301804455445529890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-82603446280339019482020-04-24T04:30:08.787-04:002020-04-24T04:30:08.787-04:00Such an underrated DJ...his mixing is so amazing f...Such an underrated DJ...his mixing is so amazing for the time, really makes wonder why there's so much hype around Larry Levan when there were all these other amazing DJs who actually perfected the art of mixing and DJing in much more detail.Larry Romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309156602606765590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-64403730514202079272017-12-01T02:38:36.715-05:002017-12-01T02:38:36.715-05:00Thanks!Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224031190140431994.post-5093229589812346262014-08-21T07:36:09.824-04:002014-08-21T07:36:09.824-04:00It won't be easy to find much.
