The Extended 30 Year Frankie Bones Homage Mix is a tribute to one of the best tracks of the early 1990's Rave Era.   The go to song for anyone who might of found themselves on the dancefloor in 1991, 1992, 1993.  

Paying attention to detail this one was mixed with care.  PLUR.

INNER LIGHT / PHANTASIA / FRANKIE BONES 30 YEAR HOMAGE EXTENDED MIX (10:13)

Lorin Wade - Devotion (Original Mix) Jan 3RD 2022

The FLIP.  It's like any Remix/Redux/Edit official or not.  You want to personalize the track and make it into your own.  Dominator was top shelf material through the 90's.  So with the next generation FACTORY mixes, I flipped it.  It's just for the mix, not for anything else, release or otherwise.  It's going to lead in from another track and mix out into something else.

FACTORY / DOMINATOR FLIPPED / VOLUME 1 / SERIES 2 / 1-1-22

To commemorate 30 years of a mix-tape series I called "Factory", the next generation 2,0 begins on 1-1-22.  January 1, 2022.  The Sound Of Brooklyn Techno began in early 1992.  It was Hardcore Techno by design.  It was the sound of Stormrave, and like this damn varient of covid, it mutated, got harder and harder and somehow 30 years later, it still exists in it's original form. It's Industrial Strength, Drop Bass, Plus 8 and Planet Core Productions.  It's Adam X, It's Sonic Groove, Lenny D, early Beltram/Program 2 - but it's Brooklyn Techno.  The heart of the matter.  And it sounds something like this,

THE SOUND OF BROOKLYN TECHNO / PEACE LOVE ECSTACY / FACTORY

More exclusive to Factory 2.0 in 22 type sh1t.  Straight Ghetto Traxx, Chi-town love.  Respect.  All that.  Put my heart & soul into this.  Not for sale.  If you sell it, get 100 and send me 50 dollars or more.

BOOTYTIKTOK - JIMMY EDGAR, WILL CLARKE & DJ FUNK (BONES GHETTO TRAXX)

So Perry K and I went to see the new Spider-Man movie "No Way Home"  and I have some Spider-Man history since the first record I ever owned was "Beyond The Grave" by Spider-Man when I was 6 years old.  Not to give away the plot, Dr. Strange has to reverse the spell and in turn Spider-Man's girlfriend forget's who he is.  And I'm like "Doc Strange in the Range like Whoa".   Happy Holiday's, this happened in two parts right after the movie,  You get both parts here,

What You Had Is What You Lost (Remix) - This is my refined version, it's a nice techno workout.

WHAT YOU HAD IS WHAT YOU LOST

The Pilots Glory is a weird phenomena I only witnessed once back in 2013 on a flight to Chicago.  It was around the time when I first figured out the multiverse.  Way before the Spider-Man movies.  But I only really understood this multiverse through genres of music.  And even still with that, it took a book called "Join The Future" (Bleep Techno & British Bass Music)written in 2019 but goes back to 1990 to understand the depth.

It was in this book that I was described as a "Rave Evangelist" a term I have never heard before.  There is some profound depth here, like public speaking or preaching to convert folks to a faith.  Not religion though, but rave.  We didn't use words like "Influencer" or "Urban Exploration" but before there was social networking it came down to a phone number on a record I produced.

I suppose being 20 years into the future wasn't a bad thing, that is until everyone else caught up to me putting us in 2010.  I'm almost invisible today.  And that is OK, because I'm the only person who has the antidote.  Music.  Like this, another notch in the ladder so to speak.

Come talk 2 me.  I still got ideas for the future.

COME TALK 2 ME / BONESBREAKS

I Believe_I Believe.  Just hours before my flight to Los Angeles, I come out with something perfect for Technostate.

FACTORY: 2023 & BEYOND - Raw precision from the Brooklyn Underground.  If the past four years have proven anything, it's not time to rest on anything because times have changed.  Factory is my mix-tape series from 30 years ago.  Search on Youtube "FACTORY 1 - FRANKIE BONES", At that moment on July 4th, 1992 the future had arrived.  So many years later I had to deliver something magical for 2023.  To manifest the desire to produce something that goes far into the future in my own lane.  To lead & not follow.  

Whatever higher power I have is nothing short of the ultimate blessing.  Not to sound silly here but there were many forces trying to stop me dead in my tracks, and yet I made it past the offense, the ops, the gangstalkers and whoever really thought they could stop me.

The music itself has humbled me out, that is why there is no speech or vocal content as an intro. The music as always should speak in volume.  The real home of Techno is where it is the loudest.  Thanks to All.

FACTORY: 2023 & BEYOND / FRANKIE BONES

The July 7, 2023 set comes 26 years later after my July 12, 1997 debut at Tresor/Love Parade.  You can find the original mix on Youtube and it has remained a favorite of many from reading the comments. 

Tresor Berlin has so much great history to it and it is a blessing and honor to travel to Germany and play so many years later.  Not many DJ's can give you an artifact and something current to go off of with 26 years in between.

The playing feild has grown.  I have always been a gatekeeper to high quality underground Techno.  I know the 1997 debut could have worked in this climate in 2023, but I went beyond that thinking in terms like 2049.  I really hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did playing it.  Techno is my life.  It's 133 BPM thru, dancefloor madness.

FUTURE SOUNDS OF BREAKS - The sounds featured on my 2015 FSOB set was BASSED on a special mix that I recorded with JES-ONE as an exclusive for WMC 2015.  Marking 25 years from when I first was asked to play WMC. we went in with an exclusive Booty Bass mix which cannot be ignored or denied.  Trust your ears on this one.

THE BREAKS THAT SAVED MIAMI - FRANKIE BONES & JES-ONE

Tommie Sunshine & Myself came together without warning to do a B2B set which went mix for mix, without knowing what the other one was going to play and it became one for the record books.   We were in the trenches, deep in the mud and the sound quality reflects that.  But it's O.K.  You will get the message here.  No sync, No practice, just two guys who have been doing our respective things for a sound which we would being playing if we lived to a 100 years old.

TOMMIE SUNSHINE B2B FRANKIE BONES

You always have to be a student of the game.  Always.  I have been a great follower of the Armory Podcast so when it became time to actually do one, there was a lot to think about.  Decades of history place me as a “Techno” DJ.  But most people who actually collect the history of DJ culture already know, Breaks have always been a part of my history.  Now my first impulse was to play cool guy and go collect the hottest breaks I could find and pretend that I could hang with anyone who came before or after me.  I’m humbled.  

I can’t do that.  Some of Iva’s mixes have totally blown my socks off.  I’ve watched Stanton Warriors Punks label become the Metalheadz of this breaks genre.  Then I hear someone like D-Bridge do a slower 130 BPM track, and it’s unfuckablewith.   That’s not a word, but it should be.  

So where does that put me with this episode? Bonesbreaks. It’s a series of vinyl which started many, many years ago as a concept in 1987, and went on to multiple volumes around a dozen, and were the first breakbeat records that fused “House” together when nobody did that.  It’s great to reminisce, but to me it always has been a sum of all parts.  So if 2000 Saturday Nights have passed and nobody cared to listen until this Saturday Night, Welcome to the future, my reality. 

The tracks here are from the new Bonesbreaks Volumes.  14, 15, 16, 17.  They are more recent then the first.  I don’t have to copy anyone else’s style in Breaks.  I don’t want to.  You hold down your lane.  I’m going to stay in mine.   I’ve been driving this way for a long time.  I’ve been able to update what I have been doing without losing the original flavor.

It’s quite interesting to hear newer styles built off the original analog method I always used. Everything is as it was.  Just cleaner and more dynamic.  Tons of crafty drums and samples, not Ableton or TRAKTOR and stem packs.   It’s more 80’s Hip Hop by design, then Trap or Dubstep.   But that is where it gets interesting, because we are out with the old and in with the new, yet maybe timeless, maybe not.  It’s subjective, so I will leave it up to you. 

Enjoy,
Peace, Love, Unity & Respect to all, 
Frankie Bones

Frankie Bones - Episode 170

Out now on Beatport
https://www.beatport.com/release/call-it-techno-ep/2147914

The new Intec release is from Frank Mitchell aka Frankie Bones who is an American based DJ and producer whose played a large role in New Yorks Techno scene. Having been involved in music since the mid 80s, Frankie Bones was one of the first DJs from New Yorks Brooklyn region to gain global success. By the late 80s Frankie Bones was getting regular European bookings following the success of his Bonesbreaks EP series, which released on Underworld Records received global recognition and critical acclaim. During his three decade spanning career Frankie Bones has even released an EP on the iconic Trax Records, which released many of the early records that defined the House and Techno genre. One of his most popular releases was his 1989 release titled Call It Techno which originally came out on Breaking Bones Records, and a firm Carl Cox favourite has now been remastered and rereleased for this special Intec package, which also features one of his new and previously unreleased tracks. Also featuring on the release are two new remix versions provided by Carlo Lio and Raito who each put their individual stamp on things. Carlo Lio is an artist who in between global DJ bookings, has released music on labels including Octopus, SCI+TEC, Turbo, Mood, and Saved Records. French artist Raito is fast rising through the ranks following regular releases Boysnoize Records, along with having also featured on Mako, Origami Sound, Main Course and BNR TRAX. "Call It Techno" has a timeless bass line taken straight from the glory days of Acid House. Filled with retro charm and warehouse party vibes, the vocal tells the story of Technos history, and the pads plus melody are rich in analogue joy. Carlo Lio's remix of "Call It Techno" uses choice snippets of the originals vocal to refine the story it into a powerful chant. This remix is fast and furious with added tension and suspense. Carlo adds his own toughened backing track thats filled with dark atmosphere plus an explosive drop after the main break. Raito's remix of has a bumping groove and stomping kick drum. Thick and chunky, it takes no prisoners with its hard hitting percussion and stabbing sounds. Jacking in every sense of the word, it's summed up nicely by the vocal lyrics "hits you in the face like a hammer! Second of the two original track is "Light It Up" which takes its title from the lyrics of the vocal sample. With spin backs and filter sweeps, the tracks forward momentum is accentuated by a series of bass drops. Lead by the building intensity of a bubbling acid line, the tracks rolling groove is a sure fire party starter. The fifth and final track is a dub mix of Light it up, which with the main vocal removed, focuses on the music only.

ARMY OF ME (THE DIRECTORS CUT.  VIP)

FACTORY ///// COVERT 19 ///// WHEN U WERE 19 

During lockdown I could isolate myself for days at a time and float freely around in my mind.  So many memories. So many good times.  This was B.C.  Before Corona - A.D. After Disappears.   So this down time is just life on pause.  I really have nothing to prove anymore.  This is FACTORY now.  2020.

FACTORY ///// COVERT 19 ///// WHEN U WERE 19

FACTORY 80120 - August 01, 2020 - This is totally the raw precision from the original Brooklyn Underground.   To an untrained ear it may take a few listens to actually understand a lot of my mixes need to be broken in.  It takes a couple of listens.   Why?  I always have broken it down through four genres, Techno, House, Trance & Breaks.  All on the harder side of things.  Techno with Breaks is becoming more popular these days, it all was about the Rave decades ago.  Now I feel like many producers are trying to bring that style back.

FACTORY 80120 FOR 8-01-20 / AUGUST 2020

This is Factory for my Birthday today on October 16, 2020.  As I began to record this mix, I thought about 8 years ago and 4 years ago on this day.  So much has happened and you hit some goals only to get set back by things like a global pandemic.  2 years ago I just wanted to forget 2018 & 2019 all together and 2020 did start off with so much promise.

If the world is suffering, the music is not.  The music is all I got left in me.  But it was always like this.  There is tons of life left in the music and the sound.  I like to capture moments that nobody else would even think of.  Like breaks & techno - I take risks.   The floodgates are open today.  My Soundcloud is packed with mixes, download them all for FREE.........

FACTORY / BIRTHDAY SPECIAL / OCT. 16, 2020 / FRANKIE BONES

THE BELLS / PURPOSE MAKER / JEFF MILLS / AXIS - Jeff Mills flagship track from Kat Moda was one of the finest techno releases of the 1990's.  It's pretty much Holy Grail.  So first things first, I've been spending most of my free time making music.  Sometimes I get lucky.  In fact if this version didn't excell while I was creating it, I would have simply walked away and left it alone.  But it began to sound really good & punchy.  I started feeling like Jeff would really enjoy it.  

I mean "Let No Man Put Asunder" is one of the most sampled vocals of all time.  But the placement of the words in this one, I heard it in an old 2011 track by Butch, and knew it would accent The Bells well.  It's really subjective but I will leave it up to you.   Enjoy.

JEFF MILLS - THE BELLS - THE 2021 FRANKIE BONES REDUX

"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.
