Justin Strauss, Worldwide FM

wwfm.jpg

I'm hosting a Worldwide FM show with NYC DJ/production legend and feet-on-the-ground sweetheart Justin Strauss tomorrow 1:00-3:00pm GMT.

On the chitchat menu: the Mudd Club, the Ritz, Area, friendships with Ivan Baker / François Kevorkian / Larry Levan / Keith Haring, the dark days and nights of the mid/late 1980s and 1990s, the club kids era of Tunnel and Limelight, and staying true to one's musical and social values in a hectically-commercial world.

On the music menu: 40 years of recordings that caused a stir in NYC.

Tune in live at Worldwide FM and catch up at wrldwd.fm/tlawrence2 x

Between the Liner Notes interview

Matthew Billy, who tracked me down during my NYC L&D trip and interviewed me on my return to London, has published a radio doc about the history of disco, “The Dance Floor Doesn’t Lie”. It features the insights of the disco promoter legends Ray Caviano and Joseph Carvello plus added thoughts from me and co-host of Sound Opinions Jim DeRogatis. I haven’t had a chance to listen yet but the feedback on Ray’s FB page was very up:
