New York House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York House, also known as New York Garage, US Garage or just Garage, is a style of House Music born in the Paradise Garage nightclub in New York City, USA in the early 1980s. It is not to be confused with UK Garage, which evolved out of the Acid House and Rave scene in the UK in the early 90s.
The main key DJ involved with the evolution of this style was Larry Levan, the resident DJ at the Paradise Garage, who defined a unique style of mixing between dubs of Disco records. After the invention of General MIDI in 1983, the Chicago House scene had an influence on the New York scene as artists attempted to recreate Larry Levan's looping methods using loops and Sequencers, thereby creating a new style of music.
