Mixing up modern tracks, classic disco and some of his own productions, Frankie plays a party set of extended mixes, kicking off with his and Eric Kupper’s sumptuous arrangement of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff. Taking in original disco with Lou Rawl’s “You’ll Never Find A Love Like Mine”, the soulful, gospel tinges are put up against the tougher elements and classic pianos  of Spencer Parker & Dan Beaumont’sThe Look.

With classic vocal American garage tunes like the tightly wrought Dbow “Get Involved” and the effortlessly but sublimely tuned dub of Eric Kupper’s “Disco Revenge” midway through the set, Frankie then turns to a Hacienda classic, the David Morales Defmix version of Juliet Robert’s “Caught In The Middle”, a record which had the original Hacienda spellbound back in 1993.

Taking it deeper to the close, the deep bassline and twisted soul of Alfredo Azzetto’s remix of “The Word Is Love” is followed by  Frankie’s homage to New York’s Sound Factory with his tribal disco remix of Sounds Of Blackness “The Pressure Pt 1”, itself a Knuckles classic. To end, he then brings in Black Legend’s, “You See The Trouble With Me” before rounding up with Robert Gaez’s re-rub of Frankie’s “Get Over U”.

A great set from one of house music’s undoubtedly legendary figures, This Is Frankie Knuckles.

Thanks to Judy Weinstein and Maria 909 at Defmix, and of course Frankie himself for allowing the mix to be released.

***THANK YOU FRANKIE, YOU CREATED A WAY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF US. YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER***

About the CD:
So happy to finally get to hear disc one of this brilliant cd. When I originally swapped the disc way back in 1998 it only had disc 2... and I'm delighted to discover this one is just as good. It's an absolutely epic house double CD, released in 1996 by the fine folks at Ministry Of Sound. And one which is another great reason to celebrate and remember the man himself, thank you Frankie. Remember to buy the CD (if it's still available) from the link above or other good sellers online. Turn it up and enjoy the mix!

Special shout out to the ever helpful Nick Sneddon for sorting our disc 1!

I was honoured to be asked to put together a classics mix to coincide with the upcoming Hard Times 19th Anniversary party with Louie Vega....no pressure then!! haha

I added a few more current tracks that I thought would sit well if Hard Times was still going at the time of their releases....hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together...x
