045 - Chicago House 86 - 91 'The Definitive Story' mixed by Marshall Jefferson (1997)

A tribute to Frankie Knuckles.  With Love David

David Morales - A Tribute to Frankie Knuckles || Part 1

This is a recording of one very special event. The first ever guest DJ we had at our little FRONT Club in Hamburg : FRANKIE KNUCKLES - Godfather of House ! Recorded live August 28th 1992. Enjoy and may he have his peace in heaven - Frankie, we love you!

Frankie Knuckles@FRONT 28 08 1992

This is a digitised copy of a tape I picked up in 1993, when David Morales played at the Hacienda 11th birthday party. I was actually there that night, Morales played in the basement (not usually open at the Hac) from 4-6am, while Frankie Knuckles played in the main room.

Stripped to the waist, wearing a skull cap & tattooed muscles, Morales played street tough New York City house music, and there's lessons in here for modern DJs. I know this mix off by heart, and re-listening to it 21 years later, I can say it's still fresh. 

This particular night at The Hacienda has gone down in legend - for the wrong reasons. The club was full of local gangsters, taking watches from wrists and starting fights. These were the 'gunchester' days, you had to keep your head down.

Listen to the mix - at the end the record abruptly ends, starts again and then ends. This was when Morales was being mugged by a pack of 'scallies' - I myself witnessed them hit him on the head with a glass, lean over the decks and take his vinyl.

This episode was written up in Peter Hook's excellent book - 'How Not To Run A Club'. Apparently after the incident Morales said "you don't pay me enough to bleed"....

Luckily you can now enjoy from the safety of your own home!!

Rave on :)

Marshall Jefferson

648 - Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body (The Evolution of Chicago House) - Disc 2 (2003)

A non-stop five hour journey as I take a deep dive into my collection to capture the vibe of The Sound Factory Bar NYC circa 1993-95 - specifically The Underground Network and the legendary Wednesday nights with Louie Vega.

Enjoy :)

This feature about The Underground Network on Traxsource.com is also well worth a read and can give some further context to the mix ...

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

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day.
