718 SESSIONS
500 Edits: Danny Krivit & the Birth of Re-Edit Culture
5 Magazine, Danny Krivit talks about Editing
https://5mag.net/features/danny-krivit-500-edits/
Re-edits have become more and more prevalent over the last few years, with a seemingly endless reservoir of obscure disco and boogie cuts available to be plundered, cut up, looped and re-released every week. Re-edits range from the opportunistic or lazy to the sublime, and all points in between, and as access to production has lowered, so the gap between re-edits, remixes and original tracks has become somewhat blurred. Artists like DJ Koze, Ron Basejam, DJ Harvey, Greg Wilson, Joey Negro and Late Nite Tuff Guy have all made re-edits a big part of their respective careers in various ways, demonstrating that recycling older material can reap rich creative results.
But if you want to talk about re-edits, then why not go back to the source, to one of the central figures in the development of re-edit culture, New York resident, DJ and producer Danny Krivit. Krivit is one of a select group who can legitimately employ the biographical cliche of growing up surrounded by music as his mother was a jazz singer, his father jazz trumpeter Chet Baker's manager. Bought up in Greenwich Village New York City in the 1960s, Krivit was DJing at a club called the Ninth Circle by the time he was just fourteen years old. Part of the Siano-Levan-Mancuso generation, he was a regular at the Loft and Paradise Garage, he lived through the Disco Sucks movement, he played to both disco and hip-hop crowds in the '80s and to house music crowds today, and is one of the most well respected DJs around.
Danny Krivit is also known for his extensive editing career where he perfected the techniques needed to maximize the dance floor dynamics of a song whilst adhering to its original spirit. He's spliced records from artists as diverse as Sade, Chaka Khan, Bob Marley, Gary's Gang, Marvin Gaye, Thelma Houston, Sisters Love, Chairmen of the Board, Jazzanova, Blaze, Aretha Franklin, Stephanie Mills, Jody Watley, and literally hundreds of others.
We caught up with Krivit who was home in New York, perhaps unsurprisingly going through a big stockpile of unfinished edits he was working on, to chat about the birth and development of re-editing.

"In the late-'70s remixing was still a rather recent development, but editing wasn't really acknowledged yet," Danny says. "DJs I knew and admired had their own edits, but they were mostly just for their dance floor, and rarely came out. They also rarely shared them. Most of the better clubs had a reel-to-reel, and most successful DJs had their own, including me. By 1980 a lot of my DJ friends had done some remixing, I was starting to feel like I was missing the boat."
In the fledgling days of the remix, DJs like Krivit were in demand from record labels who wanted to get their releases some of that cool DJ kudos, but at the beginning of his remixing career he was continually frustrated by working with studio engineers who didn't understand records the way DJs did.
"Every time I didn't like where something was going, the engineer would say 'no worries, we'll fix that later in editing…' When editing came, I didn't know how to edit… but I clearly knew what a bad edit was, and this engineer was wasting our precious time with his one bad edit."
Encountering the problem once again – "It was like deja vu, the engineer said "no worries, we'll fix that later in editing… and he seemed worse than the first guy" – Krivit took some advice from New York DJ and remixer Jonathan Fearing who told him, "You have a reel-to-reel, and you already know how splice and attach the leader tape, so even if you didn't realize it… you already know how to edit."
At the time, Krivit was DJing at the premier hip hop venue in New York, The Roxy, where he played every Friday.
"At the Roxy, on Fridays it was my job to oversee the hip hop DJs they were experimenting with," he says. "One in particular really made an impression on me: DJ DST. Two of the songs he used to cut up so well were 'Funky Drummer' by James Brown and 'Scratching' by the Magic Disco Machine. He was inspiring, I knew I could never physically cut them up the way he was, so I decided to make an edit of 'Funky Drummer'…"
That edit became the un-credited "Feelin' James," the first in what Krivit estimates are about 500 re-edits he's released in his career. Strictly speaking, it's a medley (a collection of parts of different records strung together) rather than a re-edit, a series of breakbeats, snippets of James Brown, scratches and sound effects, retooled for the dance floor, from "about 1981."
"Trying not to waste any tape, I did it all at 3 1/3rd speed – it was very hard, and I kept going back to fine tune it, but at that speed every sliver of tape was a mountain of music. When I was done, it sounded a little dull, I had handled it too much in editing. I took it around to the few DJ friends I knew that might play that kind of thing, Tony Smith at the Funhouse, Freddie Bastone & Curtis Mantronix of Danceteria. Another friend of mine was putting out medleys, like 'The Big Apple Mix,' and he said if I could make it a medley he would put it out. I did, and that was my first edit, 'Feelin' James'".
The DJ DST inspired "Feelin' James" was followed by perhaps Krivit's most famous re-edit, the 11-minute epic "Love Is The Message" from MFSB. Out of all the re-edits he's released, when pushed to choose his own personal favorite: "…if I have to pick only one, then it's probably 'Love Is The Message.'" Krivit completely removed the orchestrated major chord opening and jaunty chorus, and instead utilized the various vamps and solos to perfect effect, creating 11 minutes of sublime soulful tension, in stark contrast to the high-camp drama of the original. Krivit's re-edit actually contains sections of "Ooh I Love It (Love Break)" from the Salsoul Orchestra as well as a brief Gil Scott Heron sample too, an approach that Krivit would soon abandon. Instead, for the rest of his re-editing career he adhered to the idea that a re-edit is not a remix. It's not about adding to the song so much as re-arranging it. A re-edit maximizes the best parts and loses the parts that don't work so well, and it's Krivit's proficiency in the creative decisions that make songs work for the dancefloor, which has contributed to his longevity in the field.
"Post-production, like adding keys… I feel is more like a remix than an edit. Louie Vega added the keys on my edit of [UK funk band Cymande's classic funk track] 'Bra.' I liked it, but I don't play, so I never think of doing anything like that. I stick to what I know: editing. As far as the terminology, my idea of editing is just rearrangement. Many 'edits' I hear today are really more what you should call a remix."
For Krivit, editing is always about being true to the original and aside from refraining from additional production touches, even the use of EQ and compression are kept to a minimum, used only "sometimes, just very basic stuff." Nightclubs, DJs, dancers – its a world of extremes, of large personalities, big tunes, massive nights. Yet Krivit's editing technique is based on restraint, and this is the key to his success: keeping the producer in the background and allowing the song to shine through. You could call it ego-less re-editing, which relies on the DJ's ear to identify which sections of the record are going to really work on the dance floor. It's a simple, but deceptively important skill:
"Generally I'm picking things I really like, but maybe want more of, or repeat some key parts, or maybe even delete some parts that I feel are weak. [The goal is]…embellishment, more of what I like about it."
Krivit's early edits utilized the painstaking process of cutting and splicing analog tape by hand, but he has inevitably moved to working digitally.
"On the plus side, the sound of tape was very warm. Digital recordings can often sound cold, especially if it was an analog recording poorly transferred to digital, but the benefits of working with digital far outweigh the benefits of working with tape. When I was using tape, I religiously used Ampex 456 tape… there was really nothing like it… but try and get that now! I use digital now since the mid-'90s; I use Pro Tools for editing."
The technical benefits for producers of digital editing are clear: it's accessible, easy to use, and quick to get results. But the ubiquity of digital technology has also resulted in an explosion of edits, not of all which are of the high quality one would hope. As a true originator of the craft, remembering how painstaking it used to be to cut and paste tape together, it must be strange to see how easy digital technology has now made the process.
"[There are] pros and cons…There's more great edits out there…but mostly there's also an embarrassing amount of crap out there too. As a DJ and consumer, it's a tremendous amount of work to weed through it all to find just a few gems."
And of course, previously if you wanted to do a re-edit, you needed to own a reel-to-reel recorder, be able to use it and have the time to perform what could be a lengthy process. Now, all those barriers have been removed, with predictable results. As Krivit notes, "When it was tape only, the quality of work was remarkably higher."
However, he's in no way bitter about digital technology, particularly as it has made the whole process of re-editing more straightforward – "It's easier for me to do what I enjoy doing" – and he clearly still enjoys working with music, both DJing and of course re-editing. Ironically, he's putting a lot of his old edits back out on vinyl at the moment, as there is still a high demand for 12″ versions of his old re-edits.
"This past year I've been very focused on getting a lot of my edits out on vinyl. I have a lot of things currently out right now and quite a few coming soon. They can be quite limited in pressing, so best people are aware of them before they disappear."
These include Mr K's Salsoul re-edits series, re-edits of amongst others Earth, Wind & Fire, Alica Myers, Mtume, Fatback Band, as well as his Mr K Funk Box 7″ 45 funk edits. Lots of these songs are well known and have united dance floors the world over for years, becoming a part of our shared culture; all subtly sliced, edited, spliced and re-purposed for maximum dancefloor impact by Mr K.
Looking back over his successful career and a life lived in dance music, Krivit is characteristically low key:
"I'm extremely fortunate, especially to start when I did and still be enjoying it today."

I'm so excited, had to share this with everyone.
I get gift certificates to Amazon and tend to bank them up until I get enough to buy something off of my wish list.
I had been looking for these Jar Key's for a long time in stores, and for some reason didn't think of looking on Amazon for them until a couple of weeks ago. One of the reason's that I'd been looking for them,was that my cousin's husband invented them, and they sell them all over Europe.
Here's their link if you want to check them out, Brix Design And I was curious as well.
So I ordered one, got it, used it and then bought some more to use as gifts.
Nope, just pop and it's done.
And these little guys come in colors as well. My first one, was white, but then I found a red one, and orange one and a yellow one and another orange one, giggle.
I'm just going to show the picture of the white one here, and then go look for some more jars to open.
Well, at least I'll keep the Jarkey handy.
I'll be reviewing the other toys, tools as well soon.
**updated to add: The current Jarkey I have is a pretty red one, cause a friend admired the white one and I in the nature of generosity gave it to her.


Many people contact us saying, "My company needs web site. How much will it cost me?"
Well, it's not that easy to answer. While some companies may offer "Packages" or a huge price per page, we believe that we should only get paid for the amount of time we work on your project.
It may be easy to say, "It will cost you $100 per page." That scheme is extremely unfair to the client. A page may take two hours to code or it may only take ten minutes. That is why we believe the best way to treat our clients is to charge by the hour.
Our rate is a flat $35 / hour for all our services.
A small web site of 6 or 7 standard pages, including a contact form and search engine/directory submission will usually run in the area of 11 hours to complete. If you want more pages, have a lot of graphic work, or need some CGI programs added, it will take a little longer.
Feel free to look through our portfolio and inquire about the completion time of specific projects that match your own.

Il verde urbano ha sempre avuto uno spazio all'interno delle zone urbane o metropolitane. Già nell'antichità nelle "grandi città" egizie e babilonesi erano presenti giardini ed aree verdi, queste aree però, destinate alla nobiltà erano prettamente private, generalmente si trattava di giardini all'interno dei grandi palazzi nobiliari. Sempre nell'antichità, nel periodo di egemonia Greca e poi Romano i giardini restano relegati all'area interna dei palazzi patrizi. Nell'età medievale, con la diffusione dei monasteri, l'Hortus Conclusus, ovvero il giardino recintato, generalmente diviso in quattro sezioni, con una pianta a croce si afferma, prima in luoghi isolati, poi a partire dal XIII secolo anche nei comuni dell'Italia Centro-Settentrionale e nelle nascenti città europee. XIV secolo però vide nascere e svilupparsi il concetto di "giardino pubblico", questo concetto si sviluppa dapprima in Francia, poi velocemente per il resto dell'Europa. Nel 1350 il nuovo re di Francia, Carlo V di Valois, decide di rinforzare e rinnovare il Castello del Louvre, le mura vengono fortificate, le torri diventano più alte, così come il dongione nella corte centrale, e vengono attuati numerosi abbellimenti, tra questi vanno ricordati "i giardini del re", una serie di piccoli giardini e orti, dove venivano coltivate varie specie arboree, spezie , piante e rose. Parte di questi giardini erano destinati al re, l'altra parte il re la concesse ai parigini, a questo intervento seguì la ripavimentazione delle strade e delle arterie principali di Parigi. Il concetto di giardino pubblico si affermerà definitivamente solo tra il XVI e il XVII secolo quando gli interventi al palazzo delle Tuileries (sotto Caterina de Medici) e l'espansione dei giardini (sotto Enrico IV) cambiarono il volto della città. Tra il XVII e il XIX secolo gran parte del "verde urbano" risiedeva nei giardini pubblici e privati e a partire dal '700 dai primi parchi. Per quanto riguarda le piazze, fino alla metà del XIX secolo apparivano come semplici spiazzi, raramente pavimentati e privi di aree verdi. La nascita dei primi "giardini pubblici" non deve trarci in inganno, in quanto le città d'antico regime e quelle della rivoluzione industriale, apparivano sporche, sovraffollate e malsane, la crescita esponenziale della popolazione nei secoli XVI e XVII-XIX fu accompagnata da una crescita esponenziale della mortalità, delle malattie (legate alla qualità dell'aria e dell'acqua) e all'abbassamento del tenore di vita e della vita media dei cittadini nelle aree urbane. Se l'età media era di 45 anni per i cittadini delle città europee nel XV secolo, essa si abbasso a 35 nel XVIII secolo e 30 nei primi del XIX secolo. L'aumento della mortalità era legato anche alla crescita esponenziale anche delle città, che crebbero in modo caotico e senza un adeguato criterio, lasciando spazio ad abusivismi e poco spazio alla circolazione dell'aria. La situazione divenne talmente urgente da essere denunciata più volte da autori autorevoli come Charles Dickens.

Smembramento e risanamento
Le città e di conseguenza la gestione degli spazi verdi conobbero una vera e propria rivoluzione sotto la Parigi del barone Haussmann, nel giro di pochi decenni dal 1857 e poi dal 1870 fino agli inizi del secolo successivo, la pianificazione urbanistica per la "Nuova Parigi" voluta da Haussmann diede il via allo smembramento, interi quartieri malsani furono lottizzati e completamente distrutti, vennero aperte ampie strade, alberate e viali come l'Avenue des Champs-Elysées, uno dei più maestosi viali di Parigi. Le principali vie furono adornate d'alberi, che furono piantati a migliaia, vennero creati nuovi parchi pubblici, furono imposte norme più severe riguardo all'igiene , cosa che sommata alle scoperte in campo medico e scientifico ridussero l'incidenza delle malattie respiratorie. Per tutto il tardo XIX secolo varie città seguirono l'esempio di Parigi: Londra, Madrid, Milano , Firenze e Napoli. Nelle città Italiane tra gli smembramenti più interessanti va ricordato quello di Napoli, che nel periodo del Risanamento, vide sotto i Savoia (Umberto I e con interventi successivi di Vittorio Emanuele III) la creazione di nuovi quartieri e la creazione del Corso Umberto, il grande viale alberato con palazzi ben ordinati, tutt'ora uno dei luoghi più importanti della città. L'opera di smembramento vide il recupero Di Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino) e l'abbattimento di tutti gli abusivismi e i capannoni cresciuti col tempo accanto al castello, recuperato il castello negli anni '30 furono aggiunti i giardini sia accanto al castello, che vicino al municipio (sostituendo i precedenti giardini risorgimentali).

Il XX secolo
Il XX secolo seguì inizialmente la gestione del "verde urbano" del tardo XIX secolo, Le piazze si popolarono di alberi ad alto fusto e di giardini recintati in ferro battuto, i viali adottarono alberi cadulcifoglie come le betulle. Negli anni '30 al seguito delle campagne in Africa seguì un rinnovato interesse per la specie arborea delle Palme (già presenti nel mezzogiorno dal XVIII secolo), quest'interesse modificò l'spetto del verde pubblico a cavallo tra gli anni 30 e gli anni 70 del XX secolo. Nei giardini pubblici furono adottati palme che si sommarono a andarono a sostituire i precedenti alberi europei. Questo periodo fu caratterizzato da un massiccio impiego di siepi, per contornare i giardini. All'opera di smembramento delle città non seguì purtroppo un adeguato piano edile per i piccoli centri e comuni che a partire dal secondo dopoguerra furono man mano cementificati e crebbero in modo anomalo. Il piano Ina, diede case nuove a migliaia di sfollati, ma la crescita caotica, la speculazione edile, accentuatasi durante il boom degli anni 50-60, rese i quartieri dove crescevano le unità condominiali, sporchi e sovraffollati. Lo stesso stile delle palazzine degli anni 50-70 fu oggetto di aspre critiche, spesso vennero additate come di cattivo gusto, costruite con materiali scadenti e quasi sempre senza un parco o un'area verde. Le denunce ambientaliste sempre più importanti diedero il via a partire dagli anni '70 ad una nuova stagione per la storia del verde pubblico e delle città.

Tra gli anni '70 e gli anni '90 l'Europa fu investita da una forte attenzione verso le tematiche ambientali e la gestione del verde urbano, ovunque furono costruiti nuovi parchi condominiali con ampi spazi dedicati al verde, l'aumento delle aree verdi nelle città fu dovuta anche dalle pressioni, sempre più forti fatti dai partiti ecologisti a cavallo tra gli anni 70 e 80. Le città Italiane cambiarono volto, dato che piazze, rotonde e marciapiedi furono molto spesso adornati con pini e palme.

In Italia negli anni '90 la spinta ecologista ebbe una prima crisi nel '94, lo scandalo tangentopoli trascinò tutti i partiti della Prima Repubblica in una crisi senza precedenti, con essi anche i partiti ecologisti. Tuttavia la stagione verde entro realmente in crisi negli anni '2000, a causa proprio dell'indebolimento dell'interesse politico verso l'ecologia e la gestione degli spazi verdi in città. A peggiorare le cose fu anche la crisi globale del 2008, che spinse le nazioni europee, specialmente l'Italia a tagliare parecchi fondi, tra i fondi tagliati vi erano specialmente quelli destinati alla sanità, l'istruzione, infrastrutture e verde urbano. In Italia la decadenza in cui decaddero molte piazze e parchi negli anni '2000, spinsero le autorità comunali ad interventi di riqualificazione e di pavimentazione, che difatti ridussero col restyling notevolmente le aree verdi nelle piazze.

Il XXI secolo in Italia
Il XXI secolo si aprì quindi con una crisi del concetto di "verde urbano", ad acuire questa crisi in Italia vi furono a cavallo tra anni 2000 ed anni '10 pure i cambiamenti climatici ed una serie di scelte stilistiche del passato. Gran parte dei comuni italiani tra gli anni '70 ed '80 piantarono sui marciapiedi pini marittmi ed altri alberi ad alto fusto, dopo 30 anni questi alberi ormai cresciuti risultarono un intralcio alla circolazione e spesso le radici sollevarono i marciapiedi, per cui sempre più spesso vennero e stanno venendo sostituiti da alberi di basso-medio fusto, più sottili ed adatti alle città. Ad accelerare questo fenomeno concorrono anche le violenti piogge degli ultimi anni, che molto spesso hanno reso meno stabili gli alberi di alto fusto. Nell'ultima decade l'avvento del concetto di "Smart City", bosco verticale e bosco urbano hanno inaugurato una nuova fase verde, spinta anche dai cambiamenti climatici sempre più evidenti. Il concetto di Smart City sta rivoluzionando le città europee, specialmente la Germania, i Paesi Bassi, in parte la Francia e l'Inghilterra. Ancora una volta l'Italia è rimasta indietro su queste tematiche, ma Milano, il centro più moderno e produttivo dell'Italia contemporanea sta facendo da pioniere. Tra il 2014 e il 2015, sono stati inaugurati nuovi palazzi, con bosco verticale, Milano è soggetta ad'un restyling ed aumento delle zone verdi consistente negli ultimi 5 anni. Molti parchi sono stati recuperati in questo periodo. A seguire l'esempio di Milano è stata con una netta distanza però, Napoli, che ha visto negli ultimi anni, riqualificazioni all'interno del centro storico e il rifacimento dell'area metropolitana e di Piazza del Municipio, dove sono stati piantati molti alberi e si spera ne siano piantati altri. Il rimboschimento di Napoli però non va confuso con l'aumento delle aree verdi, soprattutto  per quanto riguarda i giardini, che negli ultimi anni sono stati sostituiti dalla pavimentazione, l'esempio più visibile è proprio piazza del municipio, che ha visto la sostituzione dei precedenti alberi con esemplari più giovani ed esempio più palese di come il concetto di "Green" e "Smart City" la piazza ha visto scomparire del tutto erba, giardini e fioriere. Per quanto riguarda i comuni invece, le iniziative sono assai timide e molto spesso quello che dalle propagande politiche sono presentati come "svolte verdi", sono in realtà semplici sostituzioni di ceppi di alberi abbattuti o malati con alberi nuovi e dal fusto sottile.
