New private playlist

Two years into my U.K. DJ career, I held down several resident slots and Berwick Manor was a second home to me.  In 1991 I was light years ahead as far as selections were concerned and this mix was also possibly the first straight to Digital live set recorded to a Sony Walkman Professional Dat Recorder.  This is a timeless DJ set.  As far as selection goes, Watts Music provided most of my record collection during this era.  My store Groove Records in Brooklyn was on top of the world in the early underground days.  Enjoy this.

DOCUMENTS: 001 - LIVE IN LONDON - SEPT 28 1991

LIVE IN DETROIT - MOTOR - NOVEMBER 25, 1998 - From the lost DAT tapes, another beautiful find.  From the five year residency I had in Detroit at the legendary MOTOR LOUNGE (1997-2001) - A special HOUSE set which was prepared for a Wednesday Night, the night before Thanksgiving.  House Heads will instantly notice a level of higher intelligence reserved for fans of Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, Mark Farina, Little Louie Vega, etc.  It's the essence of proper tuneage in an era which relied on vinyl.  I went on to win Detroit METRO's favorite CLUB DJ of 1999 for constantly packing MOTOR month after month which went on for almost 5 years.  Great times, Great people.



LIVE IN DETROIT - MOTOR - NOVEMBER 25, 1998

Post-Covid measures has locked everyone into 3D and there is no escape from the ridiculousness that life has become in the wake of the pandemic.  We have two types of people in society today, people who ignore evil and those who embrace it.  That doesn't make anyone a bad person as everyone just wants to live their best lives.  It's the power structure behind it.

Music has always been my escape.  I'm "undergrounded".  It's a word I created which means if we all could just see eye to eye for even a moment, you are not going to see me because I am slightly beneath the surface.  Invisible but part of the roots of something.  Watching.  Waiting.

Everyone has a logo, a branding.  A purpose to be just as unique as everyone else.  Signatures & Style don't even matter anymore unless you are signing your soul to the Devil in which I say "God Is Great" and moving right into the next chapter.  Music from The Fifth Dimension.

SPIRITUAL REWIND: MUSIC FROM THE FIFTH DIMENSION

After Hours 2023.  The Brooklyn Underground's Beach & Bridge Sess1ons parties on Plumb Beach & Under the bridge inspired by the original After Hours 1993 Yellow tape.  30 years later the sound has a West Coast Desert Party feel due to the fact that it goes way past darkness in sunrise and into the light of day.  

it's not a big festival business techno style or big room club music, though it could be.  The mixing style & track selection is a story, a journey with peaks & valley's, there are huge breakdowns & drops, but there is more too it then that.  It's the equation of literally thousands of Saturday Nights spent all around the world since 1983 - not doing math but I think we
are talking about 2088 Saturday Nights forged into next weekend.

it comes off different from anything else because it's all about having a signature style which can't be anything else but true authentic best version of self to date.

AFTER HOURS 2023 / FRANKIE BONES / APRIL 1, 2023 / DJ MIX

READ THIS!!!!! MCA DAY - 8.08.15 - Rob Gee and I were very excited about this and thankful we could take part in this tribute to The Beastie Boys. Many friends were curious to hear what we were going to play. The venue couldn't handle the amount of people that "Turnt" up. The organizers of MCA DAY are AWESOME people. The staff? Awesome. The crowd A W E S O M E. The people who played? AWESOME. The stage manager was the only person who I was disappointed with. A lot of
people wanted to see Lords Of Brooklyn perform after DMC, and nobody cared about the schedule.   The stage manager did nothing but complain.  Ricky Powell's dedication went 20 minutes over and instead of doing his job, he got rude with us, shoeing us off, going "Clear".....WTF???? This event was not about Rob and I, but about a fallen soldier, MCA. So we threw in the towel. What would have happened actually did in New Jersey at a festival called FARMBLAST.
I wasn't supposed to do the tribute there, but WOW, it was freaking insane. Rob did his "GEE-Isms" over these custom crafted creations and everyone loved it. It was a lot of fun. What the Soundcloud features are the "Unmixed" cuts which was created for the show. Minds would have melted in Brooklyn. Not that seeing DMC perform "Mary Mary" by himself was a problem, he was A W E S O M E too.....
It's just that fading war stories from an open mic session vs. what we would have played... Well see for yourself.

ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL - LIVE AT EDC 2016

Out now on Beatport - https://www.beatport.com/release/empty-space-ep/1955369

Carl Cox is an industry figure head whose legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

Techno focused, the new Intec release comes from Nicole Moudaber who is one of the worlds leading DJs and producers. 

Having graced the best known clubs and festivals in the world she is a headline act who has also released music on labels such as Adam Beyer's Drumcode and Pan-Pot's Second State. 

Nicole Moudaber features regularly on Intec and a core member of the labels family of artists, which also includes the likes of Harvey McKay, Sidney Charles, Josh Wink, Dosem and Carlo Lio.

With a wealth of music history Nicole Moudaber is an event promoter and founder of MOOD Records, plus her weekly radio show InTheMOOD it helps keep her ahead of the game.

This sophisticated release has industrial undertones and a raw sound that showcases Nicole Moudaber's underground side, with a selection of tracks worthy of Berghains main room.

Empty Space is understated Techno with sparse percussion and deep atmospherics layered over a prominent kick drum. Dark and eerie with industrial undertones, this intelligent track is like a detailed piece of black and white artwork, where shade and texture are used to add contrast and eloquence.

Be Gone has a menacing lead synth and enthralling offbeat stabs that combine with subtle pads to creature a brooding tension. Dancefloor focused, its all about the breakdown where everything becomes a tornado of sound until the storm breaks and a pounding kick drum emerges.

Young Hearts is stripped back with fast flowing high hats and monstrous synths that bellow like air raid sirens. Adding to the menace are sculpted sounds which weave round the vigorous rhythms of the mechanical percussion that houses the tracks array of sonic components.

ID122 Nicole Moudaber - Empty Space

FROM THE DANCE CULT UNDERGROUND.  Words from my original 1989 "Call It Techno".  This is the culmination.  The highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time.   You are getting something special here.  It's one of those moments where people might expect something and wind up getting a little more then they bargained for.  Or berghained for.

Age Of Lust EP

Magnetic Premiere: Arjun Vagale - Photon (Ramiro Lopez Remix)

Factory 2018 - A series of DJ Mixes which began on July 4, 1992 in the abandoned warehouses on the Brooklyn waterfront.  The legendary girl with the halo & the gun became the iconic branding of the series.  She came to dance.  The gun was only there to protect the dancers.  26 years later nobody got shot.  Breaking into abandoned warehouses to dance past sunrise took on a new style of Electronic Music.  Techno was the root. but Trance, Hardcore, Breaks & House  all represented.  We wind up here in 2018.  With Techno as it is meant to be.

FACTORY 2018 - FROM THE ORIGINAL BROOKLYN UNDERGROUND

TRACKLIST BELOW - BUT FIRST: 

"Getting back to what “Detroit” is? It’s a people mover. Like the little train downtown that loops around in Downtown Detroit and doesn’t do anything much more than go around in circles in one direction only. Kind of like a record on a turntable. Motown left to California along with more than half of the city’s population. The ‘67 Riots ripped a hole into the heart of the city. The people who stayed worked for General Motors, Ford, etc. I find most of the kindest, warm hearted people in Detroit. People who respect you for the character in your soul rather then the color of your skin. Their music was their only escape. The only way to have faith in the future in Detroit, was through music." - FB 

Techno Christmas is Detroit during Movement week.  I played the official After-Party for Soul Clap on Saturday.   The best Techno DJ's from around the globe and from the original Detroit scene represented hard.  It made me realize when I had my monthly residency at Motor Lounge from 1997-2001 that it always did well because I played Techno from around the world.  And that tradition still exists today.  Motor City.  Birthplace of Techno.  Now & Always.

ESCAPE TO DETROIT

Spiritual Healing Through Music.   It's something that was magical in the 1990's and it was the way DJ's took vinyl records and turned them into a magical journey.  Many people have their favorite moments and the music has healed many people throughout the journey.  I really feel like I could save the world with music.  Maybe I have saved the world with music?  Even with other people's productions, the DJ would have to build his set and tell a story.   It appears that this music has once again saved my life.  It really is good for the soul.   I'm doing me in a very nice way.

HEALING THROUGH MUSIC

Untitled Tracks

Rebuke & Cardi. B - Bodak Yellow (RUHHEEB VOCAL Re-Edit)

PAX - Snake

Everyone's version of who and what I am has been cancelled until I speed the evolution up so fast that you have no choice but to get to know me all over again.   I'm aware of the odds.  Impossible is a word best chosen.  When more love has poured in from wounded hearts, we are a collective that cannot be f*cked with.  But this current power of love only exists because of these powerful bursts of hate mongering inside Facebook groups.

One side is sure I do not exist.  The other side pay more attention to detail can hear something inside my current DJ sets.   The best DJ's in the world right now are the upcoming ones.  The Thirsty kids.  The unknown.  I am unknown.  The versions of me that people have been creating in their minds do not exist.  They have been amplified by lies and propaganda.

I'm supposed to go away, shut up, write an apology and hope people don't hate me?   We been duped.  bamboozled.  "House Of The Rising Son" is checking-In.  And Cancel Culture is checking out.  Please forgive me for knowing I was sleeping when the target was me all along.  

I am dangerous to those who actually believe I am dead, buried and removed from the scene.  You are the Virus because you allowed what the virus did to attach to your own agenda.  That makes you Cancer Culture.  If only one thing matters?  More then anything else?  It's MUSIC.  Of course life matters.  But what would life be without music?

HOUSE OF THE RISING SON.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC - Inside the box, or outside the box? Always just trying to do something different, something people will appreciate, and continuing a journey which never really has a beginning or ending. Are you in or out? As with most of Bones mixes, these are best listened to on a loud system on an open road, but that being said here is another one for the next journey, to destinations unknown.

FRANKIE BONES : "ELECTRO MAGNETIC"

When we were kids, making mixtapes for girls kind of came with the territory.  It was fun, personal and exciting.   The connection in itself was intense. Especially in the initial moment.  The initial moment here is a lot different then anything  I expected.   It's very close to the heart.  

This is special.

UNITED DJ'S OF AMERICA // FRANKIE BONES 2021

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.
