역사

물리적 장소

Paradise Garage의 이름은 초기에 자동차 주차 구조물로 사용되던 건물에서 유래했다. 건물의 초기 사용 허가증은 1925년 3월 26일로, 80-86 King Street의 2층 상업용 건물의 건축가로 Victor Mayper가 기재되어 있다.

Michael Brody의 개입은 1977년에 클럽이 "84 King Street Garage"로 개장할 때 시작되었다. 1년 동안의 리노베이션 후, 1978년 1월 28일에 공식적으로 Paradise Garage로 명명 되었다. 개선 사항 중에는 Richard Long & Associates (RLA)의 Richard Long이 개발한 스프링이 적용된 댄스 플로어와 맞춤형 사운드 시스템이 있었다. 클럽의 주요 룸 레이아웃과 댄스 플로어는 소문에 따르면 당시 뉴욕에서 가장 우수한 것으로 여겨졌으며, François Kevorkian은 이를 "음악의 사원"이라고 표현했다.

이 장소는 초기에는 원래의 댄스 플로어를 위해 750명의 고객을 수용했으며, 나중에 Front Lounge/gray room/glass lounge로 변화되었지만, 1978년 본 댄스 플로어가 개장되면서 법적 수용 인원이 1,400명으로 늘어났으며, 그 후 Brody는 1984년에 rooftop lounge를 추가로 만들었다. 이 라운지는 브로디가 여름집을 소유하고 있는 근처 Fire Island Pines의 연안 초원지역과 해변 별장을 모티브로 한 스타일이 었다.

운영 11년 후, 가라지의 임대 계약은 1987년 10월 1일에 종료되었다. 건물은 나중에 Verizon Communications에 의해 트럭 창고로 재사용되었다. 2018년 4월에 철거 되었고, 그 자리에는 고층 호화 주택이 대신 세워졌다.

 

문화

Garage는 대부분이 David Mancuso가 The Loft에서 개최한 초청전용 DJ 파티를 모델로 삼았다. 클럽 입장은 회원과 그들의 손님에게만 허용되었으며, 회원을 선택하기 위해 면접 프로세스가 사용되었다. 뉴욕시의 바 및 음식점 운영 시간 제한을 피하기 위해 고객에게 간식과 음료가 자유롭게 제공되었고 술은 판매되지 않았다. 이러한 조치로 클럽은 종종 오전 10:00이나 그 이후의 다음날까지 영업할 수 있었다.

잘 알려진 Studio 54와는 대조적으로, Garage는 확실히 불필요한 것이 없고 평등주의적인 분위기를 유지했다. 한 명의 전직 댄서가 회상한 대로 :

 

"당신은 춤추러 가는 거였고, 우리는 디스코에서 춤추는 일반 사람들처럼 춤추지 않았다. 나는 디스코에 가려면 옷을 갈아입고 4시까지 허슬을 추곤 했다. 그런 다음 "오, 젠장, 가라지에 가자"하고 내 가방을 가지고 가라지에 가서 트레이닝 바지와 운동화로 갈아 입었다"

- Willie Dancer, Paradise Garage : The oral history of NYC's Greatest club

 

클럽은 Gay Men's Health Crisis(GMHC)와 미국 유니세프 기금을 지원하는 등 여러 자선 행사를 주최했다. 2008년 현재, 파라다이스 가라지 상표는 GMHC가 소유하고 있다.

 

음악

Paradise Garage는 레지던트 DJ Larry Levan의 큐레이션 아래 댄스 음악 초기 선구자들의 중심지였다. Garage에서 선보인 독특하고 절묘한 디스코와 댄스 음악 스타일은 뉴욕 하우스, "Garage", "Garage Style", "Garage Classic"과 같은 포괄적인 용어로 불리게 되었다(클럽에서 유명해진 레코드를 나타내기 위한 용어)

"Garage Music"이라는 용어는(UK garage와 혼동해서는 안됨) 전적으로 하우스 음악을 의미하지는 않지만, 후자는 Levan과 그의 동료인 Frankie Knuckles와 Nicky Siano에 의해 광범위한 발전과 홍보를 받았다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 DJ들은 댄스 가능한 모든 종류의 음악을 Garage에서 플레이했다. 예를 들어 The Clash와 The Police 뿐만 아니라 Gwen Guthrie와 Sylvester같은 전통적인 "디스코" 아티스트들도 소개했다.

"The Garage Sound"또는 "Garage Music" 으로 알려진 것에서 혜택을 받은 사람 중 하나는 클럽의 부분적인 후원자이나 뉴욕 레이블 West End Records의 소유주인 Mel Cheren이었다. West End의 성공작에는 Sessa Matto의 Sessomatto, Karen Young의 Hot Shot, Taana Gardner의 Heartbeat(Levan 리믹스), Raw Silk의 Do It to the Music, Peech Boys의 Don't Make Me Wait(Levan 프로듀싱)등이 포함되었다. West End Records 는 몇 년 동안 문을 닫았다가 1990년대 후반에 재 오픈하고 Levan이 Garage에서 라이브로 녹음한 DJ 세트 중 하나를 발매했다.

 

Top 100, Paradise Garage

2000년에 출판된 Bill Brewster와 Frank Broughton의 책인 Last Night A DJ Saved My Life에서는 The Committee 가 선택한 Paradise Garage의 Top 100을 상세하게 나열한 차트가 소개되었다. 이 목록이 클럽에서 가장 많이 재생된 100곡인지 아니면 팬이나 DJ가 선호하는 100곡인지는 명확하지 않다.
