THE NIGHT FEVER

A NIGHT AT

Paradise Garage

SOUNDED LIKE THIS

Records documented at the Paradise Garage (1977–1987), mostly through resident DJ Larry Levan: the club's "Top 100" published in Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton's Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, a 1979 Levan set recorded at the Garage, his West End remixes made famous there and a top five from Garage staffer Joey Llanos - plus the records YouTube recognises in Larry Levan's sets taped at the club, up to the closing night in 1987. Not one exact night - the records the club was known for.

Take it with you: the Jukebox on Spotify ↗ and on YouTube ↗

Every song, record, band and sound that comes up in the interviews - the playlist of the night, Afterparty by Afterparty. The screen shows a different video every day. The jukebox fills itself from my episode indexes, so every new Afterparty adds its songs. Nothing is hosted here: Spotify and YouTube only load when you press play, and timestamps play the show’s own podcast feed. Take the whole lot with you as the Night Fever Afterparty Jukebox playlist on Spotify.
