Artist Info:
Dance music icon Sean "DJ Spen" Spencer first laid his hands on the decks at the age of thirteen while growing up in Baltimore, and he hasn’t looked back since. He began his career producing mix shows for Baltimore’s WEBB AM. Even at that young age, Spen founded one of the area's first hip hop production groups, the Numarx. Through the early 90s, DJ Spen was a staple on various radio stations in the Baltimore/Washington DC area. The years that followed saw DJ Spen transition from his hip-hop roots towards dance music. After joining the famed production collective, Basement Boys in the early 90s, DJ Spen became known for his unique style of blending house music with everything from R&B, funk, and gospel. This sound would define his productions for years to come.

In 2012, Spen founded the Quantize Recordings imprint, which has since become a regular outlet for his music and the music of dozens of talented producers. The label is known for soulful dance music productions and has become a mainstay in the dance music community. In 2014, DJ Spen announced sub-label "Unquantize" with a focus on underground and alternative dance music sounds. To date, the Quantize and Unquantize catalog has grown to over 600 releases featuring esteemed vocalists such as Crystal Waters, Alicia Myers, Ann Nesby, Jocelyn Brown, Sarah Dash, Barbara Tucker, and Kenny Bobien. Legendary house music producers such as John Morales, David Morales, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Kenny Carpenter, and Danny Krivit have all put their special touch on label releases.

With a career span of more than 30 years and his famous studio and production work, Spen has become one of the most sought-after U.S. producers, remixers, and DJs. His unique stamp can be found on pop anthems from Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Everything but the Girl, Toni Braxton and more. If that isn’t enough, he has played in some of the premier clubs across the globe, further establishing his status as an eminent figure in house music, both past and present.

Louie Vega "FRANKIE KNUCKLES"  tribute mix - B & S Groove Odyssey sessions show on Housefm.net Pt2

This is the 160mp3 recording I took directly off the soundboard at the City of Chicago FRANKIE KNUCKLES TRIBUTE.   It was streamed live via audio & video to music lovers around the world on www.Undergroundhouse.tv   

This incredibly electric event took place on Tuesday June 3rd from 6-9pm at Millennium Park in front of the 'Cloud Gate' bean sculpture before a bouncing, joyous crowd of thousands of house-heads... all coming together as one to celebrate the legacy of the Godfather of House Music.... FRANKIE KNUCKLES.   The sun was shining in the blue sky and a positive joyous vibe filled the air.   The DJs (Elbert Phillips, Craig Loftis, Greg Gray and Mike Winston) absolutely crushed it with amazing and heartfelt sets.  

Intro:  
Chris Chalupsky (Program Coordinator - City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events)
Michelle T. Boone (Commissioner - City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events) 

Words:  
Alan King
Robert Williams
Frederick Dunson (Frankie Knuckles Estate)

DJs:
10:17 - ELBERT PHILLIPS
Elbert Phillips came of age on the burgeoning Chicago House Music scene in the 1980s. From humble beginnings, Elbert would blaze a trail, his DJing has taken him from Chicago to New York and then the world. After being chosen by Frederick Dunson of D/E Entertainment to play at a birthday party for Frankie Knuckles in 2002, Elbert was given the honored privilege to open for Frankie at public and private gigs over the next four years. Elbert has been working on studio production, resulting in the release of his reworking of Rufuss’ “Higher Together” (DJ Elbert’s Dancefloor Redux) featured on Qalomota’s Classics Remixed, and "Beacon Of Light" featuring spoken word artist, Isa Bright Starr on Qalomota Records (France).

55:36 - CRAIG LOFTIS
Craig Loftis has been dj’ing in the Chicago music scene since 1979. He received a degree in Sound Engineering, and after redesigning the sound system for Frankie’s club the Powerplant, he became Frankie’s personal sound engineer, opening DJ and general manager. They jointly developed Frankie’s production company Powerplant LTD, did various remixes of existing songs which are now considered Deep House Chicago classics, and soon after concentrated on producing a Chicago artist named Jamie Principle, one of house music first stars.

He later became chief engineer in charge of production for DJ International Records where he engineered, mixed and produced songs for Fast Eddie, Tyree Cooper, Julian Perez, Bad Boy Bill, Frankie Hollywood Rodriguez, Joe Smooth, Sterling Void, Paris Brightledge and Mike Dunn just to name a few. In 2000 Craig also became a member of the Slang Music Group, a remixing company based in Chicago which did mix work on such artist as Pink, Kelly Price, Sisco, R-Kelly, Ruff Endz, Backstreet boys and Whitney Houston. In 2012 Craig and longtime friend Joe Smooth teamed up to form GIFTED SOULS, with one of their first client being Frankie Knuckles himself, for the mix on Frankie’s track “Get Over You” featuring B-SLADE. Gifted Souls has developed a large remix catalog featuring some of largest Labels and Artist on the house music scene worldwide.

1:37:00 -  GREG GRAY
DJ Greg Gray has been playing records since he was 12 years old. Greg got into beat mixing in high school and spent two summers as an intern at the Power Plant while he was in college, under the direction of Frankie Knuckles, solidifying their longtime friendship. Greg has seen the music come full circle. His continual DJ’ing and love for the music has made Greg a respected pioneer on the underground scene.

2:18:11 - MIKE WINSTON
Mike Winston was Frankie's original opening DJ at the Powerplant and longtime friend. A pioneer in 1970’s DJ underground scene, Mike Winston was one of Frankie Knuckles early cohorts and dj collaborators.

FRANKIE KNUCKLES TRIBUTE live From Millennium Park in Chicago 6/3/14

“Never Say Goodbye” is a transmission from the place between memory and movement — where the beat brings you closer to what’s gone, but never forgotten.

Inspired by the melodic trance of 1998–2001, it layers euphoric synths, lush pads, and a heartbeat-driven bassline with vocals that feel more like truth than lyrics.

This is Dreamstate in purest form: emotionally charged, sonically uplifting, and filled with tension between holding on and letting go.



Never Say Goodbye
