I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor.
I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his legendary residency at Sound Factory Bar in New York. I was submerged, sonically and emotionally by the beauty of the music I heard that night. I remember very clearly saying to myself that this would be impossible to ever equal.
That was 20 years ago, and I never got to hear this magic combination again.

I got to meet Frankie a few times, and he was always like his music, gentle, humble,   yet naturally imposing

I've put together here some of my favorite music from him. So that his legacy can keep on inspiring other people.

Rest in peace, Frankie, may your music keep on moving people eternally

We present to you, One of our personal favorites and one to look out for all year round..Grandmixxer! Commonly known as Big Narstie's tour DJ, a role that has seen him perform at the Yahoo Wireless Festival in London, Grandmixxer also works closely with hotly-tipped young MC and producer from Lewisham, Novelist. He also hosts a weekly show on Flex FM, simply entitled '#BUNDOWN', that serves as one of the most vibrant, up-front and at times, devastating radio shows on London's airwaves, his enthusiasm, passion and willing has been an asset to the scene and, moreover, the music.

Felt good to return with another stacked show full of forgotten music that I think you should rediscover or learn of. I have to say that since i've started my show on Rinse, it has been the toughest 4 weeks as far as preparing and performing the show. It's all part of the legacy though. I have never had to dig this hard in my life! I really kept this show smooth and highlighted a lot of neo-soul and melodic tracks. No matter how advanced or "future" the music keeps getting, I can't help but go back to my roots. We are still fighting a never ending battle against the majors which is why we have to dig harder but at the end of it all it will all be alright. 

Stay tuned for some great special guests to come on the show soon. Spread the word, tell a friend. -Joe Kay

Jesse Perez: Music To... Bump & Grind To

There was a time when Rome had conquered the whole of the known world... Well, the world has got a whole lot bigger since then, but that hasn't stopped one eager Roman trying to make a name for himself. 

Hailing for the Italian capital, Whitesquare has been proving his worth behind the decks since 2011. His keen ear for house has him blending tracks from all across the genre, whilst release-wise, he's already featured on Skint, Noir and Ministry Of Sound.

We simply can't resist this Italian invader, check out his skills for yourself here: http://datatransmission.co.uk/news/mix-day-exclusive-whitesquare-mix/

Joining the dots between house, techno and breaks, the name Mella Dee really splashed onto our radar with his 'Feel It Out' EP on Manucci's Mistress around easter time, following cuts that roll back to 2012. Scoring a place on our “Killers” page, the title track is gruelling tech funk built of a mutant sample and a bassline of the dirtiest, smelliest sludge imaginable.

Turns out that we'd already been enjoying his well cooked garage jams for sometime, thanks to his contribution to the Mista Men partnership he formed alongside Woozee in 2010, tunes appearing on Herve's Cheap Thrills and Unknown To The Unknown.

Through Mella Dee, though, he's dived into his darker side, channeling the grimier, more sinister side of the rave. 'Estate', which dropped onto Omena in June, is a soot-slathered slice of warehouse techno with trippy beats and swarming with sub-bass and 'Warehouse' is yet another warped hybrid of garage, techno and house.

Suffices to say when the opportunity to score a podcast from the man himself we leapt at the chance.

Tracklist : 
1. Parris - Static Tension
2. Unknown - Time & Space
3. Oushe - Pariz Illton.
4. James Welsh - Trail Boss
5. Warlock - Sawhorses
6. Mella Dee - Estate
7. Callahan - Response
8. Unknown - Drumworks
9. Mella Dee - Reach Out

As we enter the final quarter of the year, September brings the next mix in the series. After supporting his tracks Guiro and Sketcky back in February, we have been following the London-born DJ and producer Kouslin ever since. Spending time in Paris he has since played a number of events in both countries and has recently had his track LDN Underground featured on Infinite Machine's 3rd Anniversary Compilation, a Montréal based record label. 
His mix features tracks from some of the most relevant artists in the electronic music scene including Akkord, Troy Gunner and Last Japan, as well as two from himself. Offering a sound selection of techno and dubstep rhythms, along with tight mixing, Kouslin is definitely one to keep an eye out for.

Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday we were prepping our inaugural podcast from Ed Banger founder Busy P for your listening delights and here we are today at edition number 400. 

We’ve had some great guests since launching the series back in 2009 but today we’ve got a mix that is up there with the very best of them with special 2 hour set from DT favourite Skream. One of the most respected figures in the industry, Skream has long championed his own sound, ignoring genre boundaries and tearing up the rule book as he drops of house, techno bass and anything else he feels like playing into his sets which have rocked crowds around the world. It is this ability to effortlessly cross genres - Skream has wowed us playing everything from Dubstep to Disco – that had us so intrigued as to what the eclectic Of Unsound Mind boss would conjure up on the decks for podcast number 400.  What he has delivered is a stellar journey through techno that has put smiles on the faces of everyone who has heard it so far. Roll on podcast 4,000!

You can Skream at Rinse 20th Birthday at Ministry of Sound on 4th October alongside Route 94, Dimitri From Paris, Kim Ann Foxman, PBR Streetgang and many many more, you can grab tickets below from DT-Tickets!

I make music when I have a sporadically-occurring urge - something that usually surfaces uncontrollably between the hours of 1-4am. Like many, I have a large number of files on my computer's hard drive containing unfinished music - but fear not, these will see the light of day eventually. Until then, feel free to harness the power of the internet to see what happens on the way by opting to follow me on a no-strings attached basis.
