GENERATION 2022 is a free TWO hour journey which suggests the sound of the underground in the year of 2022.  New York City is in a rapid state of decline.  The pandemic has literally wiped out nightlife as we know it.  One collective of DJ's has risen above the storm.  Welcome to Generation 2022.  The music of tomorrow, today.  I went beyond the call of duty on this one.  Download it for free.  Peace.  Love.  Unity.  Respect.

FACTORY / GENERATION 2022 / FRANKIE BONES / AUG. 13, 2020

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.

THE PLUR TAPES // VOLUME 2 // JANUARY 2, 2021  
It is either a blessing or a lesson.  We do come in Peace.  With a message of Love.  We need Unity.  And less Disrespect.  I really spend a lot of time trying to reinvent myself.  The loss of friends & family took a major toll on everybody in 2020.  I want to wish everyone a happy New Year in 2021.  The Coronavirus Pandemic made a lot of people's bullsh1t come to the surface.  

I believe 80's music can save the planet.  But I'm not getting on a retro kick.  I actually begin with a 1970's soul classic which I upgraded to 1984 status so kids could breakdance to it.  And so older folks can listen and like what they hear.  To some that want the standard Techno business, it's in here but it doesn't just start from GO.  The PLUR tapes goes through a series of styles which includes actual songs, with stories, peaks and valley's.

I like to tell stories through my music.  Build it like a foundation up.   Be unique.  Have a signature style and then go listen to a dozen legends, pick the 12 most famous American DJ's from the 1990's.  The ones that have bigger fan bases then me and can play their music, their way.   You will have fun.  I love these guys.  Then come back and tell me what I do which makes me a worthy choice.

I don't push PLUR because it was cool decades ago.  I push PLUR to keep me in check when somebody needs a can of Twisted Tea straight to the face.  I have to bow out gracefully and not entertain any type of hate.  Don't scream that horrible word out to me, my Nickel.  "Nickel"?  Yes.  You put your two cents in with a dime in your pocket.  I'm tryna make a dollar out of 41 cents and still give you back your change, my nickel.   Yes.  It's my nickel.  It's silver and you get back three pennies with that. Whatever you are thinking otherwise is on you. 

There is more to this story but lemme get back to you O.K.

THE PLUR TAPES // VOLUME 2 // JANUARY 2, 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.
