Mixing up modern tracks, classic disco and some of his own productions, Frankie plays a party set of extended mixes, kicking off with his and Eric Kupper’s sumptuous arrangement of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff. Taking in original disco with Lou Rawl’s “You’ll Never Find A Love Like Mine”, the soulful, gospel tinges are put up against the tougher elements and classic pianos  of Spencer Parker & Dan Beaumont’sThe Look.

With classic vocal American garage tunes like the tightly wrought Dbow “Get Involved” and the effortlessly but sublimely tuned dub of Eric Kupper’s “Disco Revenge” midway through the set, Frankie then turns to a Hacienda classic, the David Morales Defmix version of Juliet Robert’s “Caught In The Middle”, a record which had the original Hacienda spellbound back in 1993.

Taking it deeper to the close, the deep bassline and twisted soul of Alfredo Azzetto’s remix of “The Word Is Love” is followed by  Frankie’s homage to New York’s Sound Factory with his tribal disco remix of Sounds Of Blackness “The Pressure Pt 1”, itself a Knuckles classic. To end, he then brings in Black Legend’s, “You See The Trouble With Me” before rounding up with Robert Gaez’s re-rub of Frankie’s “Get Over U”.

A great set from one of house music’s undoubtedly legendary figures, This Is Frankie Knuckles.

Thanks to Judy Weinstein and Maria 909 at Defmix, and of course Frankie himself for allowing the mix to be released.

Greg Wilson | The Haçienda Returns 2023

POKER FACE - SNIFF SPEED GARAGE REMIX

Artista: Mr. OffBeat
Sello: Appetizers Music

El productor Mr OFFBeat regresa con Rebirth EP, una obra conceptual de deep house en la que una única composición original se transforma en cuatro versiones diferentes. En esta premiere presentamos la versión original: un corte profundo y orgánico que combina calidez analógica, sutiles matices jazzísticos y un groove que respira tanto introspección como energía para la pista.

La producción refleja el sello característico de Mr OFFBeat: atmósferas densas y envolventes que conviven con un pulso perfectamente calibrado para warm-ups, sesiones de amanecer o momentos más íntimos en el club. Una pieza que, sin artificios, transmite mensaje y emoción desde la primera escucha.

Rebirth EP estará disponible en formato digital el 15 de agosto de 2025 a través de Appetizers Music.

Live recording of Greg Wilson from The Haçienda Residents Party @ Sankeys in Manchester 27.12.16.

I’d decided to go for an early 80s vibe on this, playing edits alongside originals of some classics and cult–classics from my time at Legend in Manchester rather than The Haçienda, although all of these tracks were played at The Haçienda at some point or other, either by myself or original resident Hewan Clarke. Great to see Hewan, Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Jon DaSilva, Chad Jackson, Tom Wainwright and Allister Whitehead – it was quite a gathering of eras.
