On the cusp of celebrating his fortieth year as a DJ, Danny Krivit continues to gush passion for dance music. He hasn’t lost a step either. Born to a jazz singing mother and a nightclub-owning father (who also managed Chet Baker,) and growing up in Greenwich Village in the ‘60s and ‘70s -- Krivit was born into the groove. He expanded upon this rich heritage and became a global music success, spinning all over the world and at New York’s most seminal nightspots of the last few decades. more ›

Coming straight outta Hamburg (Germany,) Marco “Tensnake” Niemerski is dance music’s man of the moment. With Tensnake, an it-producer tag makes sense. He’s got the underground cred (thanks to original productions and remixes,) pop radio play in England, and now a big-label double-CD compilation. Tensnake’s no joke.

Body and Soul was one the country's most regarded house music affairs. With tunes spun by a legendary trio of house DJs, each individually renowned -- Francois Kevorkian, Joe Claussell, and Danny Krivit -- Body and Soul was a day of global rhythms from disco to techno. Literally a day -- this weekly was from Sunday afternoon to Sunday evening. The trio no longer does it weekly (a few times a year in NYC,) which truly makes each occasion that much more special. The second ever Los Angeles entry into the limited Body and Soul tour diary takes place this Saturday, from 9 p.m. - 3 a.m., at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. more ›
