MY BREAKFAST THEME Danny Krivit rmx 1986 - Roulette Records By 1970 Danny was already a vinyl junkie & an amateur DJ, But DJing as a profession wasnt realized until 1971, after another neighbor/friend of Dannys (Vice President of Polydor Records) introduced Danny to one of his artists - none other than the legendary James Brown, who gave Danny white-label promo copies of his Get on the Good foot and Think by Lynn Collins. Soon after, Danny started Djing at The Ninth Circle which by now had been transformed into a disco. In 1975, Dannys father opened his second club, Ones, Danny was their sole DJ through 1977. Dannys sets were a big success and from this he started promoting and Djing at his own after-hours club down the street. At this stage, Danny was becoming part of the underground scene, club-hopped a lot, meeting some of the greatest DJ names of the time. These included Nicky Siano (of the Gallery), Walter Gibbons (of Galaxy 21), Tee Scott (of Better Days) ,David Rodriguez (of The Limelight), Richie Kaczar (Club Hollywood), and Bobby DJ (of Le Jardin) amongst others. Although all outstanding names, one DJ and club stood out amongst the rest: DJ David Mancuso and The Loft. The 80s saw the beginning of Dannys studio work. He worked on tracks featuring legends such as, James Brown on Soul Power, The Funky Drummer, Give it up and Turn it loose, Ecstacy, Passion & Pain on Touch and Go, Brenda and the Tabulations Lets Go All the Way, and Gloria Gaynor on Casanova Brown. Moving into the 90s, Danny commanded legendary status amongst young and old as well as continuing to forge new paths in dance music into the millennium. He inherited the Ninth Circle and continued to DJ at clubs such as Mars, Tracks, The Choice, Palladium, Shelter, Sound Factory Bar, Twilo, The Warehouse, & The Loft. At its inseption in 1996, Danny joined the Body and Soul team, Francois K and Joe Claussell, at club Vinyl and has regularly played the party every Sunday since, whilst regularly Djing in various clubs in New York & Japan & everywhere inbetween. In 1999 one of Dannys highlights as a Body and Soul resident was Djing for a 15,000 strong crowd at one of three special Body and Soul event for Summer Stage in Central Park, NY. Dannys reputation outside New York has grown immensely over this time with Danny playing the world over, from America to Japan to Europe. He has hosted 2 special international Body and Soul events in London for Angels of Love and Giorgio Armani. Dannys talents and reputation has grown and continues to do so like his 50,000-strong record collection. He is also a VJ, with a collection of over 5000 rare soul performances on video from the 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s. As well as having producer/editor/mixer credits included on over 70 records. 2001 sees Dannys 30th anniversary as a DJ and already this year has seen his name on over 25 records.
