The word legend gets tossed around too easily in the world of dance music. But when it comes to DJ Harvey, the term fits. Starting his DJing career in the early late-80s by bringing the disco-tinged sound of NYC house (or “garage” if you prefer) to London clubs, most notably the massive Ministry of Sound, Harvey is a true innovator of the genre.
