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.

Something I'd written in 1996 that's making its way forward…This "under-three-minit" sample offers a demonstration of the building of a Mr. 6ixxx song from scratch…Co-Produced by "Funky-Freddie" of Tampa, Fl… 

"I'm That Type" offers another dimension to The Mr. 6ixxx Project by presenting the assuage of a romantic song accompanying his BENDING NOTES; his signature, while remembering a time when the steps to falling in love were also the steps required to STAY IN LOVE!

Yes. I am THAT TYPE!

Soulfuledge & DJ Spen have been racking up the hits over the past few years following their show-stopping work for labels such as King Street, T's Box, Groove Odyssey, Hard Times and of course Spen's very own Quantize imprint. Now with Soulfuledge firmly a member of the Quantize inner circle, the pair's debut track for Soulfuledge Recordings brings the dopest deep groove firmly to the front of the dancefloor through Lost In New York - a sax heavy late night jam complete with Spen doing his thing on the mic.

DEEP & SOULFUL HOUSE MUSIC BY TONY PERRY 2017

The evolution of an artist is infinite. With new tools and new colors in sound you can paint a picture that changes and enhances your emotions. I dedicate this mix, to all the struggling artists. The one's who live it, breathe it, who struggle with the blocks, the brain freeze, the isolation. I never knew what I was getting myself into when i decided to try my hand at Djing, but i'm thankful for this journey. It is a gift to create for others. Enjoy!!!
