TRUE HOUSE STORIES W/ NICKY SIANO # 078 - PART 1
In 1971, at the tender age of 16, Nicky Siano getst his first DJing gig at The Roundtable in New York City.
In February 1973, he opened The Gallery in Downtown Manhattan with his older brother Joe Siano. New Yorker Magazine called it "one of the five most visually breathtaking nightspots of its time”.
The Gallery was, alongside Macuso's Loft and The Paradise Garage, one of the three most important clubs in New York’s 1970’s underground disco scene.
Both Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles worked there before they both started there DJ careers.
Knuckles had said in other interviews that he and Levan "spent a lot of the time hanging out in the booth, watching Nicky’s every move.
He pretty much taught us what we were doing.”
Nicky in this part shares with us his family life and what happened to him during his adolescent years that changed his life forever.

There's a whole world of rhythm and soul behind the tracks that fill dancefloors, and True House Stories opens the door to it. Hosted by the respected DJ and producer Lenny Fontana, this isn't just a series of conversations; it's an oral history project for a genre built on feeling. Each episode sits down with a different architect of the sound-DJs, producers, vocalists, and label founders-to pull back the curtain on the moments that shaped everything. You'll hear the unvarnished, sometimes messy, reality of how classic records came to be, the late-night studio sessions that turned into anthems, and the personal journeys intertwined with the music's evolution. Fontana, speaking from a lifetime inside the scene, guides these discussions with a genuine curiosity, ensuring the stories remain candid and often surprising. Tuning into this podcast feels like finding a lost archive of club culture, where every interview adds another essential layer to our understanding of house music's enduring pulse. It’s for anyone who has ever felt a four-on-the-floor beat and wondered about the people and passion that put it there.
