A Night in Paradise

  • A Night in Paradise A Night in Paradise will bring the spirit of The Garage to London for the first time. Making its home in the very place that it famously inspired over twenty-five years ago – The Ministry of Sound. Showcasing Levan's seminal soundtrack, and the music it has since inspired. Programmed over three rooms A Night in Paradise will take you on a musical journey through Disco, funk, Philly Soul HiNRG and house - A true Re:evolution of dance music. When Justin Berkmann arrived back from New York in 1989 he brought something very special back with him. A seed of inspiration that was to grow into what is now the world’s favorite nightclub. Upon opening in 1991 the MoS featured not only a state of the art sound system installed by Austen Derek, but also a long ramp and tunnel at its entrance, a sprung dance floor, a no alcohol policy, only admitted it's members and their guests and had no particular closing time - the party was over when the last record was played - all elements Justin experienced at The Paradise Garage. The line-up includes US legends and the UK figures responsible for bringing the Paradise Garage ethos to Britain, and more specifically, London. The Box welcomes Danny Krivit, Joey Llanos, David DePino, Victor Rosado, and a live performance from Jocelyn Brown. In 103, Justin Berkmann joins a bill featuring Kenny Carpenter, Ricky Morrison, Frankie Foncett, David Piccioni, and a PA from Bryan Chambers. Handsome in the Baby Box features Horse Meat Disco, Jeffrey Hinton, The Reflex, and Fidel. From its inception in late 77' this “Paradise” in a former parking garage for trucks offered gay men, and indeed all its members, including post 70’s liberated women some relief from the mundane nature of everyday life, and the dog-eat-dog reality of an almost bankrupt and wholly unforgiving New York City. The dance floor at Levan’s ‘Saturday Mass’ was a place given over entirely to the enjoyment of music. There was no pretense and no attitude; there weren't even any mirrors to distract you. There was only you, Larry and the music. Disco, Philadelphia soul, funk, and a new emerging genre which we now know as ‘house music’ were all staples, but boundaries in music fell down too here; There was only one real rule - if you could dance to it, you could play it. This event also aims to raise £20,000 to support two of the world’s first and leading HIV charities; New York’s Gay Men’s Health Crisis or GMHC and the UK’s Terrence Higgins Trust, with all profits from the event being split equally between the two organisations. Join us on the dance floor at Ministry of Sound and celebrate what was perhaps the greatest party that ever was. The Paradise Garage, yesterday, today tomorrow and forever….
