well, as most of you know.
Headinghome helps produce the Loft LA party with David Mancuso.
Meeting the man behind the legends has influenced us at many levels.
While doing our homework on him and his loft parties, we have found that
no, he is not a DJ, and no, he doesn't even call himself a DJ. He is a
music selector. If you think of him as a regular person who learns to
mix records or cds nowadays (booo) and goes out and gets gigs you have
missed who he really is and his message. as far as what has he
contributed to our scene goes, well many people credit him with defining
what we know as sound systems and most of all many famous DJs, musicians
and producers credit him with bringing inspiration to their lives and
for some the inspiration was such that it changed their lives by
inspiring them to want to either produce, play or dj. He's a really nice
humble man who has great knowledge of music and is willing to share with
the world. He does it in several ways always holding the up most respect
for the Artist first. He's intent has never been to be a "DJ", you will
hardly ever
find him djing at a club or underground event out side of his loft
parties, which he hosts with different promoters around the world. If
you would like to experience what he is like and what the original loft
paties are like, book a plane tix to NYC and check it out on your own.
the Loft parties are still going on strong since the 70's. Jonathan
Lastra and myself went to a loft party in NYC and we met people in their
50's who were OG loft goers from the 70's and we also saw DJs like mr. K
and Kenny Dope dancing in the crowd to his sets. like Lars said you
can't judge a party by a recording, so if you are really curious about
his events check 'em out.

for all those who like David, he will be back this year once again to
our annual Loft LA party on labor day weekend.
cheers
