"François K, aka François Kevorkian, has revolutionized dance floors several times: Editing Martin Circus' hugely influential 1979 " Disco Circus," gorgeously mixing Dinosaur L.'s left-field 1982 classic " Go Bang!," and remixing Yazoo's 1982 " Situation" (which incidentally launched 12″ dance mix culture) are just three examples of how he's still slaying dance floors more than a half-century later. As a resident DJ at Studio 54 and Paradise Garage he was there for it all."
"Kevorkian is joined for the party by another revered house DJ, Brooklyn's Spinna, and Fatsouls' own DJ Said, who we adore. (Said himself spilled the beans to me about this booking when we ran into each other outside the restroom of the brilliant Kraftwerk show at Greek Theatre earlier this year.) It's going to be a High Level party, indeed-the last one, featuring Danny Krivit, also from Body & Soul, was terrific, spilling into the backroom to give ecstatic dancers extra space."
François Kevorkian will headline the High Level party presented by Fatsouls Records and Imagine Luv at The Foundry in San Francisco. His career began in the 1970s and includes editing Martin Circus' influential 1979 "Disco Circus," mixing Dinosaur L.'s 1982 "Go Bang!," and remixing Yazoo's 1982 "Situation," which helped launch 12" dance mixes. He served as a resident DJ at Studio 54 and Paradise Garage. He blends soul, house, techno, and dub in his sets. He will be joined by Brooklyn's Spinna and Fatsouls' DJ Said. He participated in an hourlong phone conversation covering his history, perspectives on the current DJ scene, and his "Live Stems Dubs" series.
