Live From Lost Village - Facta & K-Lone

Lukas Wigflex B2B Adam Curtain - 18 June 2025

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.

LUXE recorded live at GALA'25 for Club Are's takeover of Cornerstone.

Live from Cornerstone at GALA'25 - LUXE (Club Are Takeover)

I want to share the recording from Karrusel Festival in Copenhagen 2025 with all of you, as I feel it was a special evening back in my hometown playing after a long time away. Good friends were with me there. My time slot was between trancy Eliaz Gozal and melodic Paul Kalkbrenner in the open air, which gave me the opportunity to play some faster stuff.

I hope you enjoy and I\m always checking feedback, so let me know what you guys think. 

All the best,
sam
