Frankie Knuckles. The Always Amazing Frankie Knuckles. To have him embrace this Record with his signature style was and is a treat beyond words. His SIGNATURE STYLE was Excellence. This record was an amazing gift to me. I can remember the day I recorded the Vocals at Universal Recording Studio, in Downtown Chicago. Walking in, and seeing, hearing members of the Orchestra playing on MY record. It was an out of body experience for me. Only Love got me through it, and continues to. It was only Love that gifted me to have the experience in the first place. I'm thankful to Love for Marshall Jefferson, the Producer of the record. His peaceful energy was truly a comfort to me. P.S., my last name is Rogers, not Rodgers. Lol. Hey, thanks for making available this Tribute collection of the work of Frankie Knuckles. Though his Human Experience has concluded, he is now one with Love. I'm thankful to Love that, through recorded sound, the music embraces us forever. Wishing Peace on every level for us all. Hold on to Peace

miss the masterpiece  The Whistler Song  classic  house !!

Merci Sami pour tous ceux à qui manque Frankie.

A mixshow containing some of my favourite classics.  A little something to heal the soul. Enjoy.

DJ MIX - David Morales | Classics Mix (November 2013)

As I'm sure most of you already know, the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, passed away yesterday. My chest has been tight with a heavy heart ever since I found out. At first I found this a little odd because I didn't know him personally. He's not a family friend or a close relative.

Over the last couple of hours though I've realised that I feel this way because of the music he made that inspired me. Ever since I got into House Frankie has been there. His tunes have both rocked my world and the clubs I've played and there is no doubt that this legendary DJ and producer changed the face of music, changed me, changed my life.

The title of this mix is a quote I saw multiple times on Facebook this morning. I don't know who originally quoted it, but I do know this; whenever House Music heads get together to remember him we will all say... 

'Without Him There Was No Us'.

Play it loud.

RIP Big Man

John Morales @ Gold Diggers, Djoon, Saturday March 22nd, 2014

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 Nuckles (R.I.P.) - Songs for Eternity

Louie Vega Live @ Times Square  (12-18-2018)

Welcome to the highly popular spiritual pilot for The Word Is Love show celebrating Larry Levan’s birthday whom was born on 24th July 1954.

In this show we cover some of the finest signature tracks that were  played by Larry Levan at The Paradise Garage. 

Covering Disco, Funk, Rare Groove, House, Synth-pop, Latin and Soul; you know the drill, non stop easy listening funky disco grooves from start to finish.

To describe Larry Levan here is an article from The Guardian:

"Larry Levan was the first superstar DJ. The first to really convince the world that there was more to DJing than just playing one record after another. For 10 years from 1977 to 1987, Levan was the star attraction at New York’s legendary Paradise Garage, writing himself into clubbing lore with swashbuckling DJ sets that took in minimal underground disco, funky rock, dub and synth-pop, which foreshadowed the house music revolution. At the same time, his uncanny ability to mix and tweak records for maximum emotional impact would regularly send his devoted congregation into raptures."

The mix has been put together using a 'Shooting from the hip' style of cut mixing and blending.

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with Love.

Enjoy the good vibes!

A Night At The Sound Factory Bar (The Underground Network NYC) - Mixed By Kiran Patel

Over the course of a musical career which has spanned over 20 years, Sami Dee, aka “Le Flamant Rose” or “The Flamingo”, has been a champion of House Music in numerous capacities. As a DJ, he’s showcased his unique & energetic style in the best clubs in France ( 287, Rex, Les Bains, Queen) but also worldwide in cities such as Montréal (Stereo, Circus, Beach Club), Miami, London, Prague, Geneva, and Algiers. Another key stop in his vast career was at the legendary Red Zone in New York City, where he had the advantage of meeting the “Boss” himself, David Morales, who tutored the young DJ in the early 1990s. If Sami Dee is deemed a true master in the art of mixing records, it is also thanks to the radio. He reached this hard-to-earn legendary status first on NRJ Radio, co-hosting “Better Days” with Bibi, during a classic four-year run which saw the show broadcasted in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and then, on FG Radio, for over nine years. Today, he’s pleasing his worldwide followers through his podcast,"  Forever More House Music By Sami Dee" releasing unique mixes like only he can. Furthermore, Sami Dee may be an even more recognizable name as a producer & remixer, with over a hundred original productions and remixes on his résumé with the likes of  Grammy Award Winners David Morales, Frankie Knuckles & Gregory Porter, Kenny Carpenter, Todd Terry,  Dimitri From Paris, Lisa Pure & CeCe Peniston for various labels such as  Warner, East West, Atlantic Records, Def Mix,  Stereo Productions, In-House records, Ultra, Nocturnal Groove, Tony Records, Mjuzieek Digital & Poole Music. After more than 20 years in the game, Sami Dee is still one to be reckoned with, both in the DJ booth and in the studio. Having gained accolades from some of the biggest names in the business and having worked for legendary artists, Sami Dee is still pushing his music forward, while paying homage to the roots, producing new gems in his unmistakable style. 

Sami Dee's Tribute To Frankie Knuckles ( 1955- 2014 ) Maximum Love Forever, Frankie!
