more about Mancuso
David Mancuso (New York, 1944, died in 2016) The first party in Mancuso’s apartment would be identified as The Loft, at 647 Broadway Avenue-access was by invitation only, and it wasn’t easy to get in. You had to earn it, you had to have the right contacts. It was a place where various marginalized sectors of New York nightlife -gays, Latinos, African-Americans- went to listen to music in a private, relaxed context, where disco music and all its associated culture, that of dancing and the cult of the disc jockey, would emerge. David Mancuso was not a conventional DJ, but he was the first one who could claim his pioneer status.
For David Mancuso, music was sacred and The Loft gradually became a kind of church. Alcohol could not be consumed
