A Word From Dan

Another week goes by and we're getting closer and closer to winter time. So as the high winds blow a whistle in the streets of NY, alongside police car sirens and uplifting Bhangra music from the local bodegas, we are getting ready for yet another season of great events and online dance madness brought to you by the underground broadcast sensation downshiftradio.com. This week's "Kinky show" special featuring John Davis comes highly recommended, as it features music selection and an in depth interview with the man behind the legendary "Body and Soul" events. Not just for House heads but also for aspiring promoters who want to hear more about the making/behind the scenes of one of the biggest series of parties that took place in NYC.
Happy Halloween everyone.
Keep 'em dancin',

John Davis on the Kinky show

On Thursday, October 30th, tune in to hear the sounds of John Davis (Body and Soul) at the Kinky show starting 11:00 pm.
In the summer of 1996, New York was introduced to the Body and Soul parties. The brain child of British promoter John Davis and famed DJ/Producer partner Francois Kevorkian. Body and Soul was created to give lovers of dance music a place to call home.
Having been involved with house music through UK and European DJ's, John Davis became an aficionado of London's famed deep house Sunday day party "The Arches". Starting at the early hour of 10am, the party was a meeting point for all lovers of deep house - those who were just starting the party and those who were still going strong from Saturday night. With that in mind, John set out to start a party in New York with music that could keep anyone going and get anyone going.
Now more than 7 years later, the name Body and Soul has become synonymous with spiritual, uplifting music and Davis has become one of its most familiar ambassadors to the NYC party scene. Although the party is currently on hiatus, Davis has not forgotten the dance music lovers or his commitment to bringing this city a party where house heads, gay, straight, black, white, and all in between can meet on common ground. Most importantly Davis has not forgotten the most important thing of all- whether the clubs get bigger, brighter, smaller, darker, no-frills, or all gimmick, the main goal is to give people a place to indulge in their love of House and dance, whatever their choice of music may be.
Since 1996 Davis embarked on a number of other musical projects which included a 2 year party (At Club Life) called "Legends" on Wednesday nights which came to a close when the club was shut down and converted to a theater.
Rockstar Video Games (Grand Theft Auto) teamed up with Davis in 1999 to bring a hugely popular series of "secret location" parties. Several parties were held in undisclosed locations (NYC Lofts) and were a great success.
In 1999, Central Park Summerstage concert series approached Davis and Kevorkian about bringing their popular Sunday party, Body and SOUL to the park for an all day DJ Dance party. The party was such a huge success with attendance's exceeding 12,000 that they were asked back for 2 further years.
