About David Mancuso and The Loft

 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Mancuso is the creator of the infamous "by invitation only" 
parties in New York City which have come to be known as The Loft. The 
first such party was held in 1970 and was called Love Saves The Day. 
Prior to that, he was playing records for his friends on a semi-regular 
basis as early as 1966, and these parties became so popular that by 1971 
he decided to do this on a weekly basis. His parties have the 
free-wheeling feel and intimacy found in the classic rent party or house 
party. Mancuso is a pioneer in that he carefully thought out and refined 
his concept of "private party", as distinct from the more overtly 
commercial business model of the nightclub. In the early 70's, Mancuso 
prevailed after one of longest ever administrative trials of the New 
York City Department of Consumer Affairs. Despite this heavy-handed NYC 
regulatory agency's desire to make life difficult for Mancuso and the 
Loft "family", he was vindicated and allowed to legally throw his 
private parties, free of government interference, when the DCA ruled 
that he was not selling food or beverages directly OR indirectly to the 
public. He was found to therefore be exempt from the need for a NYC 
"Cabaret License". Mancuso's success at keeping his parties 
"underground" and "legal" at the same time was an inspiration to other 
music entrepreneurs and DJ's, and many famous private Discotheques of 
the 70's and 80's were modeled after The Loft's operational blueprint, 
including the Paradise Garage, The Gallery, and The Saint, to name but a 
few. Mancuso also helped start the record pool system for facilitating 
the distribution of promotional records to the qualified disc jockey. 
Despite Mancuso's importance in the history of DJ culture, by the late 
70's he had fully abandoned the accepted DJ practice of audio mixing, 
beatmatching and pitch-shifting, in favor of a purist "audiophile" 
approach to sound reproduction. To this day, Mancuso's music programming 
and presentation are remarkably fresh and spontanaeous, and are not 
dictated by the beats per minute of the records he plays. Mancuso 
prefers to use the original Mark Levinson "Class-A" Amplifier, Klipsch 
speakers, and "moving coil cartridges" for maximum musical fidelity.

On September 19, 2005 Mancuso was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of 
Fame for his outstanding achievement as a DJ.

What people have said about The Loft - Los Angeles

"...The whole experience was incredible and I'm glad I got to be a part 
of it. Mancuso lived up to the legend, and then some." Justin Garbet 
(quoted from Dynagroove emails)

"I was on the floor, dancing alot, enjoying the full length of the songs 
and
the great selection. It was a great feeling to not really realize that the
volume went up eventually, since it was done in a very subtle way." Lars 
Behrenroth, BOC Productions

"Two weeks down the road, and I am still blown away by how I felt after 
this show...I had been to loft show in New York, once before, but this 
frankly blew that away in my mind. Danced stone cold sober till 5am. The 
sound was absoltely impecable. When the baloons dropped, it was wild! 
The whole energy of the party was a welcome relief for those of us who 
have become a bit jaded on nightclubs in general. " Luke (quoted from 
Imperial Dub messageboard
