From the disco era to the birth of House Music ! Big Box Recordings is proud to present its 5th release KULTISSIME feat LINDA LEE HOPKINS TAKE ME BACK. Here comes the time to give a tribute to the Paradise Garage and its legendary resident DJ Larry Levan.

Inspired by David Mancuso Loft and the Gallery where Nicky Siano was DJing. Michael Brody opened the Paradise Garage in 1977. This place was the expression of freedom and redefine the clubbing scene in NYC. Since the closing in 1987, the Paradise Garage can today truly be considered as a foundation of the club culture, bringing diverse crowds, black, latino, straight and gay in one single place to focus on the music and the sound. It was definitely ahead of its time and revolutionary! 20 years after passing away in 1992, Larry Levan is still considered as a legend alongside the house music veterans from the Chicago scene. His legacy still inspires a new generation of DJs, Remixers and Producers.

Under the moniker KULTISSIME Franz & Linda Lee Hopkins want to perpetuate this legacy with their new track TAKE ME BACK. The two original Franz mixes with funked soaked groove, beautiful jazzy saxophone and grand horn section bring back the good feelings from this golden Era ! Not to forget the Bibi Pieces of Paradise Mix which turns the song into a real disco house anthem and the Big Box Recordings artist Aliwud who inject his unique touch into the track to recreate a sunny and bouncy jam.

Dont miss !
