Elles devinrent ensuite hebdomadaires à partir de 1971. La grande majorité des artistes new-yorkais de la house et du garage ont fait leurs armes dans le cadre du Loft, comme Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles ou Louie Vega. * Portail de la musique * Portail de la musique électronique (fr)

The Village Voice wrote that Mancuso's sound system was the best in New York and even described him as "more of a party engineer than a DJ." Mancuso required that the music played had to be soulful, rhythmic, and impart words of hope, redemption, or pride. (en)
