Nicky Siano is widely acknowledged as the instrumental figure in the creation of the modern cult of the dj. His stints at his own warehouse venue The Gallery are credited as some of the formative new york parties. Basically inventing disco: using universally minded soul and funk cuts with a third turntable, sound effects and a state of the art, bespoke sound system, Siano was eventually the jock of choice for the Studio 54 glitterati, but its the Gallery selections on which his reputation rests. Famously, Arthur Russell was converted to 'disco' - a term Siano hates for understandable reasons - after a session at his club. The Gallery, The Loft and The Paradise Garage were the three most important clubs in New York's underground scene. DJ Nicky Siano, whose club The Gallery ran from 1972-77, had the distinction of being connected to all three.
"Nicky Siano was the king of DJ's. He was so fierce he could put a record on and people would scream. There was no other DJ like Nicky Siano. He was the best DJ I ever heard."
Kenny Carpenter
"Larry and I would blow up balloons, set up the food bar, prepare the punch and give out acid, but we also spent alot of time hanging out in the both, watching Nicky's every move. He pretty much taught us what we were doing."
Frankie Knuckles
"At the end of the night he would sit down, take off his shoes and socks, and start mixing with his toes! Everybody loved Nicky. He was the first DJ star."
