		The Paradise Garage was also a key influence for the House sound, based on the superlative sound system that Larry Levan (along with sound genius Richard Long)developed there through his 11-year residency.
		The Garage was also a major celebrity/industry hangout, but because it was a private, gay, after-hours club, it managed to avoid the media frenzy which would kill off Studio 54 and other trendy spots.
		The list of Garage classics from 76-87 is far too long to detail here (one discography I have lists more than 1000 songs which were broken at the club), but suffice it to say, if you heard a badass dance record during those years was probably played there first.

		Instead of jungle's off-beat syncopation, garage's operative motif is the stutter-step, a trip of drums that encourages unconscious body movement.

		Emerging from NY's gay disco scene, the Garage followed the early '70s lead of David Mancuso's Loft and Nicky Siano's Gallery by firmly placing the DJ as the focus of the club.
		Although there is much urban myth about the Garage, and bootleg tapes of Levan sessions have surfaced, there has never been a live DJ set by Larry Levan at the Garage made commercially available before now.
		The quality of the tapes is superb, and the session captures the full spirit of the Garage, the emphasis being on great tunes at a time when 'the message was in the music' -- a time before today's obsession with fluid mixing and little substance.
