David Mancuso

The origins of disco (and clubland generally) lie in the first ’70s and David Mancuso’s Greenwich Community apartment, where he sponsored weekly after-hours get-togethers for a lot of the city’s party population. The Loft’s audio system was equally as good as most legal night clubs, and Mancuso performed an array of music, including Latin and African, Motown, Philly spirit, and funk.
