On the night of September 27, the Paradise Garage, the disco club closes its doors forever and famed DJ Larry Levan is out of a job. Todd Terry dispenses with vocal narrative altogether on Royal House's "Can You Party," and creates a dance classic out of a delirious, near chaotic collage of electronic samples. By releasing "Acid Tracks", Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre and Spanky invent acid house and in England Gilles Peterson coins acid jazz at Dingwalls.
