10 iconic DJ Harvey moments
Dance music's last rock 'n' roll star
Turning Beyonce away from a Sarcastic Disco party
Quick disclaimer: this was never actually confirmed, BUT if it’s true (and we’re really, really hoping it is) then it definitely makes a claim for Harvey’s most iconic moment. Started while lapping up the California waves, Bassett’s bi-annual Sarcastic Disco parties were the stuff of legend, galvanising a pretty dry LA scene with all night parties in disused warehouse on the fringe of the city. They brought his musical oddities and rarities to the foreground in marathon sets that could only be attended if you were invited. The fact they were hardly advertised didn't stop them becoming so popular that rumours of Beyonce being turned away wouldn't have suprised party regulars.
