New Jersey club where Tee Scott, and of course Tony Humphries started out as a club DJ, after having gotten a start at Kiss FM radio. Larry Patterson used to run it.
In July 1981, producer Shep Pettibone asked Tony Humphries for a mastermix show tape to fill in for a no show on his KISS-FM NY radio show. A vacancy left by Pettibone at the station opened the door for his own permanent mix show. Simultaneously, schooled under the "I'll-leave-you-in-the-booth-and-see-what-happens" antics of resident DJ Larry Patterson of NJ's Club Zanzibar fame, resulted in him gaining "THE" residency in 1982.
"One of my fondest memories was the Wed. that Larry played, and as I walked up to the club, I couldn't believe what I was hearing thumping inside (Blue Magic, "Look Me Up", or the night Tee was going off on "Weekend" (Phreek), and Larry helping him out in the booth w/the reel to reel. Awesome days! " ---Mike Barnes, 1999
