As part of the local initiative to co-name King Street 'Larry Levan Way', the Red Bull Music Academy paid tribute to the legacy of Levan with a larger-than-life block party. Shutting down the street, thousands flocked to gather in front of the former Paradise Garage building for a day-long celebration that made waves across the globe. Long-standing Levan associates François Kevorkian, David DePino and Joey Llanos (with a special guest performance from Jocelyn Brown) guided the masses through an afternoon of disco and pioneering house music.

The petition is already 14,000+ signatures deep, if you want to take part in helping cement Larry's legacy - sign the petition here.

 

Meanwhile, turn up your speakers and enjoy 5-hours of legendary electronic dance music!!
