NYC's Underground Network, Then & Now
16 July 2019 - Diego Martinez-Conde
To many, NYC’s ‘Underground Network’ wed night party at the Sound Factory Bar with Louie Vega & Barbra Tucker was THE industry event to be at.  Some would even say it was their Paradise Garage, and Louie was their Larry. There is no doubt this party was pivotal in so many house music careers and helped people forge great relationships.  The UN Party was a literal who’s who of the NYC industry at that time! 
Today we have the great pleasure of interviewing Don Welch, who is the co founder of the brand and he’s got a lot of good stuff coming.

I normally don’t do things like this, but in this special case I simply had to do it: shameless self promotion of my label Dafia, which has reached its 13th single release now.
