only someone with quality would love this tune

little fluffy clouds. takes me back to my acid days. Great way to start the set.

I can still recall the feeling I had, hearing this for the first time as a 13 year old in Clouds, Preston, back in the 80s...

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.

Here, in the first of the mixes to be released from 12th November’s epic party at Depot Mayfield, with Greg Wilson's full set from the main room which typically takes in exclusive edits and versions of many classic tracks.

Beginning with the Fingerman rework of “Unfinished Sympathy”, Greg whips cleanly through Loleatta Holloway, Elektra and Candi Stanton tracks before some mainfloor classics from Adamski, Bjork and Inner City, before winding up with some classic electro and a nod to the main room’s headliners Orbital with their live mix of Chime.

A great set delivered by Greg on what was a fantastic occasion. Enjoy.

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.
