It's why 20 year olds talk about Thunderdome and have immaculate digital collections of Daniele Baldelli mixes from the mid-80s, it's why we're all au fait with DJs who hung up their headphones when we were still swimming around in the still waters of our fathers, and it's why even those of us who've never been to the original York let alone the New one worship at the feet of St Larry Levan.
