Danny Krivit (born 1955) is a quintessential New York City DJ and producer. Growing up in Greenwich Village as the son of a jazz club owner, he was immersed in music from birth, eventually becoming a pillar of the global house and disco scenes.
Historical Roots & Mentors
Krivit didn't just witness the evolution of the DJ; he was mentored by its pioneers.
The Loft: He was a close friend and disciple of David Mancuso, the father of the modern "private party" and audiophile culture.
The Paradise Garage: He was a contemporary and collaborator of Larry Levan. These connections make him a vital bridge between the 1970s disco era and the 1990s house explosion.
"The King of the Edit"
Before digital software made it easy, Krivit was a master of tape editing. Using a razor blade and splicing tape, he rearranged records to make them more "dancefloor-friendly."
Signature Work: His most famous edit is arguably of MFSB’s "Love Is The Message," which remains a gold standard for DJs worldwide.
Impact: He showed that a DJ isn't just a selector, but a curator who can "fix" or extend a song to heighten its emotional impact.
Body & SOUL
In 1996, Krivit co-founded the legendary Body & SOUL party at Club Vinyl in NYC alongside Joaquin "Joe" Claussell and François K.
The Vibe: The party was famous for its "Sunday afternoon" slot, focusing on spiritual, soulful house and a diverse, inclusive crowd.
Legacy: Body & SOUL is widely considered one of the most important club nights in history, emphasizing the DJ as a storyteller rather than just a beat-matcher.
