Larry Levan
Larry Levan (; born Lawrence Philpot, July 20, 1954 – November 8, 1992〔) was an American DJ best known for his decade-long residency at the New York City night club Paradise Garage, which has been described as the prototype of the modern dance club. He developed a cult following who referred to his sets as "Saturday Mass". Influential post-disco DJ François Kevorkian credits Levan with introducing the dub aesthetic into dance music. Along with Kevorkian, Levan experimented with drum machines and synthesizers in his productions and live sets, ushering in an electronic, post-disco sound that presaged the ascendence of house music.〔Broughton, Frank & Brewster, Bill (2000).

==Biography==
Levan was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital, New York, to Minnie (née Levan) and Lawrence Philpot. He has an older brother Isaac and sister Minnie who are both biological twins.〔〔 He was born with a congenital heart condition and suffered from asthma from a very young age which would make him prone to fainting in class. Although a fragile young boy, he excelled in math and physics, leaving an impression on his teachers that he would become an inventor one day. He inherited his love for music from his mother who loved blues, jazz, and gospel music, and that he was able to use a record player from the age of three and as his mother reflects back, "I’d make him put records on so that we could dance together." He soon became infatuated with an idea of making the "music that would never stop" after encountering hippie DJ David Mancuso—the owner of a members-only dance club The Loft, where no alcohol would be served, the interior minimally decorated, and music was processed by a state-of-the-art sounding system—whom he befriended and was encouraged by him to pursue career this way.〔Pareles, Jon (Nov 1992).

Mel Cheren, the co-founder of West End Records, recalls the first opening of the influential nightclub Paradise Garage, where Levan developed his style later known as "garage ()", to be a "disaster":
