Body&SOUL’s legacy began in 1996 by legendary pioneers of house music François K, Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit. Already famous in their own right, this landmark New York Dance Party was the first time the 3 resident DJ's played together as one. The Body&SOUL events became an international mecca for dance music lovers seeking to enjoy all forms of music with all the freedom of expression granted on a unified dance floor. Body&SOUL continue their mission holding hugely successful outdoor events in New York (including the Central Park Summerstage) and live tours in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Japan, and now the UK with their upcoming debut on the 14th July. 2006 marked the Body&SOUL 10 year anniversary celebration with a crowd turnout in excess of 7,000 revellers!!

Joe Claussell is one of New York’s highly respected dance figures, for his work as a DJ, producer, and remixer, as well as for his label Spiritual Life Music, all of which reflect his deep love for and his eclectic and multicultural taste in dance music. Much of the global dance movement can be traced back to Claussell’s highly percussive style that incorporates Latin, African, Brazilian and other world rhythms with elements of jazz, rock, disco and live instrumentation.

François K’s career in dance and electronic music goes back to the late 70’s in the New York clubs and at the disco label Prelude. He was responsible for many important productions on the European electro/new wave scene in the 80’s and started his Wave Music label in the 90’s. He has worked his mixing magic on about 1000 records to date and as a DJ and a producer is now exploring the dub and techno sides of electronic music.

Danny Krivit’s professional DJ status began at the Loft, New York's musical centre and a mecca for DJs, in the 70’s. There, he began long term collaboration with Larry Levan and François K. Danny is famous for his edits, has been DJing for over 30 years and has an impressive knowledge of rare disco and jazz. He has recently released mixed compilations on Strut, King Street and Defected.
