In the mid 70’s Larry Levan and Mel Cheren opened the Paradise Garage which for ten years held an unassailable reputation as New York’s most influential night club, and a sexual narcotic play ground to boot. 1/5

This weekend marked the 50th anniversary of Wigan Casino. Widely known as one of the most renowned Northern Soul clubs, the Casino stood proudly in the building that used to be the Empress Ballroom, making it the perfect place to spread out and dance all night long.

House is not a popularity contest. It’s not about your social media follower count. It’s about the music you play, what you do and say, and what you give back. Here, in no particular order, are FAITH’s favourite DJs of 2020:

The past 12 months have been tough. Tough in many ways. The ‘what would Wevvers do‘ mantra has never seemed more apt . It’s now 12 months to the day since Andrew died yet the friendships, the music and the nights we spent in his company will stay with us forever. @terrystuckshop

Without Frankie Knuckles there would be no Faith or the culture we are built on. He has been our guiding star since we launched back in the late '90s. So ten years on from his passing, welcome to the very special Frankie Knuckles / Spring issue.

In the studio Levan was infamous for overspending on remixes, taking records and turning them into epics. Just listen to Inner Life’s ‘Aint No Mountain High Enough’ or Taana Gardner’s Heartbeat’. For all this and more Larry Levan became a legend. 4/5
