New York garage music is a style of music developed in Paradise Garage club of New York the early 1980s. [http://www.disco-disco.com/clubs/paradise.shtml]

History

The main key DJ involved with the evolution of this style of music was Larry Levan, the resident DJ at the Paradise Garage, who defined a unique style of mixing between dubs of disco records. Over time, the term "garage" in the US came to mainly describe the more soulful, gospel-inspired styles of disco and house music first made popular by Tony Humphries at club Zanzibar in Newark, NJ.

In the 1990s, the New Jersey sound became distinctly different from in New York. Although the Paradise Garage was a New York club, the label "Garage" came to be associated with the New Jersey sound over time as the bond between the Paradise Garage and club Zanzibar was strong. A rawer, "blacker" sound, as described above, became the signature style in North Jersey. Meanwhile in 90s New York a more Latin, Tribal sound took over thanks to Junior Vasquez and his disciples at the Sound Factory. However, the garage tradition returned in force with Body & Soul, a collective formed by Francois K., Danny Krivit and Joaquin "Joe" Claussell, and its immensely popular Sunday sessions (now defunct). Louie Vega has continued to perform regularly on Wednesdays, although without the popularity he has in Europe or Japan. Timmy Regisford is another stalwart of the NYC house community with his Saturday night parties at legendary Club Shelter.
