		Kevorkian: The owner of Galaxy hired me to play the drums while his DJ was playing and I didn’t know who his DJ was and I’d certainly never stepped foot into a major downtown underground club in Manhattan at that time.
		Kevorkian: Yeah, actually that Rare Earth record you mention was one of his drum records and he had a lot of drum records that were fairly obscure, but he brought ’em in in a way that everybody loved it.
		Kevorkian: It can only be the sampler and the ability for any turd to not know a note of music and to actually be able to crank out a track based on other people’s music.

		Kevorkian is the guy you can refer your techno-phobic friend to, the one who still whines that electronic music "all sounds the same," "takes no musical skill," and "lacks human feeling."
		Kevorkian established Body & SOUL in '96 to preserve this tradition of the DJ as navigator through uncharted waters.
		When Kevorkian is spinning, you can hear right when the next song drops in, because each has its own structure -- intro, a peak, and an end.

		When the members of Daft Punk were still in diapers, Kevorkian was gigging at New York's legendary Studio 54, the Loft and the Paradise Garage.
		From early DJ gigs in the disco wonderland of late-'70s New York City to his current stint at Manhattan's Body and Soul, Kevorkian has been at dance music's epicenter — be it disco, new wave or house —; since its inception.
		Although he's always worked in the underground or behind the scenes, Kevorkian is not averse to pop success: “It's always great for any creator to reach out and touch as many people as you can with your art.

	Francois Kevorkian - Armeniapedia.org
		François Kevorkian, alias François K, (born January 10, 1954) is a French-born US DJ, remixer, producer and record label owner.
		Having started his career in renowed clubs such as the Paradise Garage, Kevorkian now tours the world, taking part in many music gatherings, such as the Sonar multimedia festival in Barcelona and its Brazilian equivalent, Sonar São Paulo, both of which took place in 2004.
		Kevorkian, whose history in dance music stretches back to the disco era, nabbed two honors - for Remixer and DJ - so it was only fair that he gave the longest speech, in which he thanked everyone from Kraftwerk to David Mancuso to Larry Levan.

		Francois Ks style is deep funky US house, but his repertoire is far from limited.
		It is having all these points of reference that has allowed Francois, a frustrated drummer who left France for New York in 1975 to experiment and take music places it has not been before.

	NOW Magazine Online Edition:
		In 1996, Kevorkian teamed up with Danny Krivit and Joe Claussell to start Body And Soul, a back-to-basics party where you could hear disco classics right after deep dubby house as well as pop hits and lushly orchestrated Latin-jazz-influenced organic dance music.
		Not much in the way of explanation has been given, and Kevorkian won't comment on rumours suggesting that it may have something to do with a change of management at the club.
		Kevorkian intends to start integrating it into his DJ sets to help him re-combine elements of his favourite records in new ways.

	Blue Six
		Blue Six’s Beautiful Tomorrow is the first full-length artist album for the acclaimed New York/San Francisco based Naked Music, following a slew of successful 12-inch singles and CD compilations that have been revered as much for their enticing artwork as for their sexy grooves.
		The project sprung out of a conversation Jay Denes had with friend François Kevorkian, himself a legendary dance music producer and the proprietor of his own label Wave Music.
		Inspired by Kevorkian to make an album that defied convention, Denes returned to the studio, emerging with Blue Six - a sound that makes no compromises to outside pressures yet is anything but alienating.

		Twenty-plus years ago, while doing AandR for Prelude Records and DJing at New York City’s Oubliettes disco, François Kevorkian invented the disco dub mix, which is drawn, as the name implies, from the dub mixes done by Jamaican reggae sound men.
		Kevorkian’s dub mixes of D Train’s "Keep On" and Sharon Redd’s "Can You Handle It" also mirrored the turntable work then being done live by DJ Larry Levan at the legendary Paradise Garage.
		On this two-disc set, you’ll find the Kevorkian sound, in his selection and reworking of disco classics from the era of his greatest creativity, songs featuring a deep, dark, often tribal rhythm and voices drenched in sexual heat and ecstasy.

		I could go on about Francois K's legacy as a DJ for over two decades, and how this collection of trend-setting tracks constructs a crucial framework for New York music of the past 25 years.
		Francois K aims for the broadest possible picture with only 33 tracks to pick, which makes the surprisingly duff choices even harder to take.
		Mr Kevorkian's taste is impeccable so what's on offer is excellent, even if the canvas is just a little too broad and the tracks don't so much flow as remain individual examples of specific styles.

	Max404 Top 10 — Discopia
		Francois Kevorkian is another of my big influences and musical heroes.
		The man has done everything from doing great disco production/remixes to producing Kraftwerk, remixing just about every great artist, starting his own label (Wave), producing his own records, dj'ing, etc. And the man is still around after more than 28 years of dance music.
		There must be one Trevor Horn production in my list as well, since (together with Francois Kevorkian and Yello) he got me hooked on electronic dance music.

	Prelude records
		He was a DJ and to some degree, I can say that, he did, in some instances, influence some of the signings that I made.
		Because Francois Kevorkian was A&R for Prelude from 1978 onwards, he did a lot of studio work for the label, the most innovating perhaps D Train's 'You're the One for Me'.
		It was the advent of drum machines and synthesizers at Prelude, that made it the dominant force in New York during the early eighties.

		François Kevorkian’s latest club project, Deep Space, is about dub in all of its musical iterations - from Jamaican vintage grooves to spacey and abstract new electronic sounds, and just about anything in between.
		As soon as you step into Cielo, the setting for Deep Space (and a recent addition to New York’s clubland), you feel like you’ve just boarded the Starship Enterprise, albeit with a very different captain in control.
		Kevorkian has been waiting for the right platform to launch his new project; at Cielo no detail has been overlooked, from the amazing sound system (installed by UK audio experts, Funktion 1), to the incredible interior.

	Kraftwerk - Radioactivity
		Rather than let the 'Werks remix it themselves (probably difficult since they're on tour) Francois Kevorkian and William Orbit have been let loose on it instead.
		Cliched dance sounds appear, a totally inappropriate synth melody turns up in a couple of places, the whole track seems to have lost the sharpness and edge it had before.
		Orbit has actually got the feel of the original track - he has to be a Kraftwerk fan and has put care and attention into it where Kevorkian just seemed to apply a formula.

		Emigrating from Paris to New York in 1975, he has played at such disco landmarks as The Flamingo and the Paradise Garage.
		The landing is a little bit rough for my tastes, but it doesn't completely detract from the quality of the rest of the album.
