David Mancuso's London Loft Party

On May 7th 2001, David Mancuso musically hosted his first ever London party at 93 Feet East in London. This invite-only event celebrated the release of the second Loft Compilation co-produced by David and Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy and released on Nuphonic. The party was also the catalyst for the Lucky Cloud Loft parties that began in 2003 and are still going strong today.

David musically hosted for over six hours to a crowd who hung on his every selection, on a sound system that, for many who heard it, changed the way they thought about music and dancing. With David’s permission, his set and the sounds of the dancers were recorded to DAT, then mixed and stored on archival grade gold CD-R. The recordings were recently unearthed and David's full set has been restored in all its glory.

Hear from Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy and David Hill about how the compilation and the party came together, as well as from some of the guests who were on the dancefloor on that night. Then get ready for the full 7 hour experience, with no talking, no jingles, just David Mancuso musically hosting a very special party, where everyone felt welcome...
