So Into You (The Remixes) (DJ Spen's Funky Flava Remix)

Side B.

Wow!! After almost 30 years of holding on to this mixtape of Ron Hardy live @ The Muzic Box, Chicago back in 1984' I finally realized it's time to share this tape with the world. Even though I never made it to the Muzic Box, I can definitely feel Ronnie's spirit come alive as I listen & I'm sure you will feel the same way too!!
I want to thank my brother Jacob Arnold for conducting interviews with Byron Burke & David Britton. I also want to thank Byron & David for their time & sharing their stories with us.
Big ups to Terry Matthew @ 5 Magazine for helping us promote this.
One last shout out to thee awesome Nate Williams for giving me this tape back in 1995'. For those that don't know, Nate is an extraordinary DJ/Producer/Remixer who released Club anthems on DJ Duke's infamous label Power Music & Felix Da Housecat's Clashbackk Recordings just to name a few. Oh wait, I got to thank Roy Davis Jr. for introducing me to Nate & David. So thank you my brother Roy!! Also, artwork courtesy of Mario "Live It Up" Luna of the "Beyond Heaven" book series.
Other than that, throw on your scuba gear as Ronnie takes you on a Chicago Style Deep journey.

God Bless,

For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection

There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the sound really feel like?

The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.)

To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop.

In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. 

And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place.

The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there.
