DJSounds put together a couple of videos that take a look behind the scenes at a few of the important clubs in the city and interview the people who make it all happen. If you can make it through the hideous intro and transition clips, there’s actually some good stuff worth watching…

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with legendary NYC DJ Danny Krivit (Body and Soul, 718 Sessions) and discuss the profound influence that New York City has had on his distinguished music career. He notes that the musical landscape of his youth was significantly different than it is today, which left us wondering: does NYC, in its current state, have the ability to inspire new talent the way it did in Danny Krivit’s formative years? Check out the video and let us know what you think! Then, get on over to Webster Hall on Sunday (July 20th) for this month’s 718 Session!

We dropped by our old stomping ground last week, 6 Hubert Street, for a walk down memory lane (thanks to Carlos for letting us in with our camera). Not surprisingly, the ongoing condo conversion has eaten up almost every notable feature and makes it hard to tell that this space once hosted the legendary parties “Be Yourself” and “Body and Soul” (among many others). After that we were curious about the state of another club that had a huge influence on us so we took a walk over to Tunnel – now a public space a la Chelsea Market. The main room of Tunnel is still in tact (the light trusses remain hanging in their original position) but the side rooms have been carved up into office and gallery space and the second floor is no longer accessible from the main room. Nevertheless, you can really get a sense of the cavernous old club which made us wonder: How was NYC able to support a handful of clubs this gigantic only ten years ago. What happened?
