The Computer Controlled series of mixes I started back in 1997 were groundbreaking in the sense of taking your own record releases and making them into an album by playing these records in a live DJ set.

I didn't name my tracks on my Ghetto Technics records.  I released 16 records, went to California twice and mixed these records into two different albums which became Computer Controlled 1 & 2.  These were actual releases which sold 50,000 units. 

In 2003 a bootleg release of volume 3 appeared when the label went chapter 11.  And Volume 4 was a Soundcloud release only.  Times have changed.  Lives have changed.  

Computer Controlled 5 for 2023.  The concept remains.  Record a bunch of new tracks all exclusive unreleased material.  Everything on this mix has been made in 2023.  Everything has come full circle.  At 133.333 BPM, the beats on vinyl rotate one revolution per one measure of music.

No vinyl here though.  My Analog days are far behind me.  I still love my vinyl, but this is an all digital affair in 2023.  Creation to completion.  I still have the raw style which always was my signature.

I hope you enjoy it, I really did my best to bring my signature style to this project.  All the best, BONES OUT.

COMPUTER CONTROLLED 5 / FRANKIE BONES / CONTINUOUS DJ MIX

"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.
