Music
- September 27, the Paradise Garage, the quintessential "Garage" club closes its doors forever. Famed DJ/producer Larry Levan is out of a job. Todd Terry dispenses with vocal narrative altogether on Royal House's "Can You Party," and created 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 hosue and in England Gilles Peterson coins acid jazz at Dingwalls.
