I'll be showing "Danny Krivit Live DJ/VJ all vinyl Set
from TRACKS, NYC 1990
+ Voguing/Runway Visuals" (2 Hours) on Twitch
@ twitch.tv/dannykrivit
I managed to find another 2hr House Classics & Garage Classics hi-fi VHS tape from my archives. Loaded with unique Voguing & Runway Visuals.
Recorded at the legendary TRACKS, 531 W. 19th St. NYC. From 1985-1993 every Tuesday for a crowd of 2000 gay, mostly young urban male devoted followers. At the time arguably the voguing capital of the world. With David Depino turning out the main floor, upstairs I was wearing several hats as DJ/VJ/light man. 3 sides of the dance floor were covered with giant video screens, & could be quite intense, like you were dancing in the video. But it also had the potential of being overbearing & distracting, so I really needed to tightly control what was being shown, I wanted the crowd to focus more on the music, & rather than just show videos along with my DJing. I made specially edited composites of voguing, fashion runway, soul train line, & all kinds of dancing. They had state of the art video equipment & loads of special effects, layering, patterns, extreme painting & colorization. A lot of the time I used the visuals as a to the mood-of-the-room subtle wallpaper, intermittently working it like my light show. It was a very important part of my sets, so besides showing up with crates of records (it was a time of all vinyl), I usually also had a crate of my composite visuals to work with for my weekly Tues 5pm to 5am DJ sets, & eventually every Friday... treasured times. This is one of those tapes from 1992,
looking forward to sharing it with you this Sunday, Danny :)
