| David who were launching Def Mix.This catapulted his career and by 1998 he received the highest honor, The First Grammy Award for Dance Remixer of the year.The celebration includes a world tour and several special events in addition to his normal tour and recording obligations.All that being said; Yes, HOUSE MUSIC'S origins began in Chicago at a little club I partnered and was the resident DJ called Us Studio, THE WAREHOUSE (206 South Jefferson Street aka FRANKIE KNUCKLES WAY).WAREHOUSE, there were many other DJs across America (if not around the world) doing the same thing.It's just that the industry was at a point where it was hungry for something new.But back in that day Chicago was a small town that only had a rep for being Al Capone's hometown.Filtering it's way into Europe and Asia and, Downunder.All you have to do is listen to these three choons and you hear all the influences of what is essentially at the heart of HOUSE MUSIC.The choons were anything as funky and low down as James Brown's, "SEX MACHINE" to Sylvester's, "MIGHTY REAL" and, everything in between.Making it possible for us to expand on our own creativity.For so many, a song means nothing.And when you're as fortunate as most of us working DJs to be able to share our creative blessings with the rest of the world, no matter how great or small, wouldn't you agree that it's best to give the world the best of who you are?I'm more of an old locamotive versus a Bullet Train.So, the next time this question is put to you try to remember this; HOUSE MUSIC is more than just what you're hearing at the moment by who maybe your favourite DJ (at the time).But if you're trying to pursue a career in this business or, just someone that simply enjoys the music for what it is and want to delve deep into it's origins, just listen to some of the greatest singers, funk bands, gospel singers and choirs of the past 40 years and you'll have a keen sense of what HOUSE MUSIC is.Alexi, Terrence Parker, Houz'mon, Max Durante, Lars Eckmann plus new talents from Italy like Roberto Figus and Publycsound.It reflects so much to 'silky sentimental' side of your soul...SELECTIONS podcast"A new place for all the lovers of finest club music:soulful, deep, jazzy,funky house, afro rhythms, garage classics, funk,disco,soul,old hip hop,detroit techno,electronica.Frankie,Saw Maestro last night on LOGO and LOVED IT!House Music was so prevalent in the early 70's in NY.Omg you dont want to miss this free ringtones for a year..Frankie Knuckles MUSIC Listen in if you have the chance let us know what you think.Click to the picture to visit djrageparis.This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.Id + " Link: " + targetLink.Id + " Text: " + targetLink.Profile:Frankie Knuckles was born in the South Bronx of New York City on the 18th January 1955.He was the Dj from 1977 to 1982 at the Warehouse.It is widely accepted that his style of DJing and his selection and the appeal of the Warehouse gave house music its name, although in the beginning, the word 'house' was used only in Chicago to denote something which was cool, hip, fresh or bad.Frankie Knuckles had been long time friends with Larry Levan, they had had their musical upbringing together from going to clubs like Loft and the Gallery.You Can't Hide (12")

Only The Strong Surviv...NO comment on Frankie Knuckles so far??We are talking here about a dancefloor with humanity.Your browser might not support all functions in this page..."Frankie Knuckles was born in South Bronx, New York, in January 18, 1955.In school he studied costume design and commercial art but this was not what his future career would be...Tee Scott who was the resident DJ at Better Days in New York.I've worked in the garment district of New York City, I've worked in retail."Who is Frankie Knuckles?I've never been asked that question before."Did you live in the same neighborhood or something?Have you got some best memory of you late friend Larry?Yes, I can imagine that.But is there any chance you can describe him as a person?He was a lot of fun, you know.He was very inspirational.He was a, I don't know, a...Discotheque but I don't think it had any kind of influence on the music industry.Warehouse in Chicago was pretty much the same thing.And underground clubs for the most parts never really got any recognition at all in those days."Were there some "competition" between you and Larry and the clubs?Frankie introduced Nicky to a "wild, but very talented" friend of his, Larry Levan.DJ usually just played one song after another."We weren't playing there.""No, we were working with him, but were not playing.ONLY person who played there."That's also how Frankie became known as the Godfather of House.It was just like living in my home.People came to the Warehouse to dance.Frankie entered the Warehouse.That's what takes the music downwards.Trance has managed to make such a big impact.But "House" music as we know it didn't just come right away when "Disco died".So, What do you think made you one of the hottest and most wanted DJ's?You know, always you hear people say, like now you hear them say: "Oh, House music is back!"Yes, where do people think House went?It was, just as Frankie says, there all the time.It's just as the title indicate a collection of House classics selected by "the Godfather" himself."Best of Frankie Knuckles" remix collection or something like that.Beyond the Mix on Virgin.The three CD's include lots of the classic remixes made by the Def Mix guys...DJ was regarded in the beginning and how it has changed during the years?"What DJ's were giving and doing 20 years ago and what they're getting now it's just a completely different thing.You couldn't play the same repetitive beat and tempo all night long without people getting bored.You have more music that sounds the same now."You know, if the tempo doesn't change anywhere, it doesn't vary anyway what he does.That's the only difference, but I mean, there's nothing really that original about it, I don't think."Yes, it was a lot of work."And you had to try your mixes long before to make them fit in a good way.Is there some 'Frankie Knuckles sound', would you say?"I've sold off records, I have got rid of some after having a lot of stuff in storage."Yes, I understand, because if you would have kept everything I would imagine..."It would be impossible.""It's impossible to hang on towards a collection like that."The Whistle song" is one song that's very difficult for me to NOT carry with me.Arnold Jarvis for example or...Something like "Satisfied (Take me higher)" by H2O."Mighty real" by Sylvester is another one.Oh, there's quite a few."Did you like it during that era?When not DJ'ing, Recording or Remixing, Frankie listens anything but Dance music.Anything from Angie Stone to Nick Drake.CLICK to hear some Frankie Knuckles songs...Rain fallsFrankie Knuckles feat.Lisa Michaelis
WorkoutFrankie Knuckles feat.Starpoint
What Is This Thing Called Love?Do you know how many remixes you have done during the years?There's many of remixers out here and that's exactly what they do.Vandross and Chic, among many others...Do you know about how many remixes you do each year?"No, I can't say that really.Cause I'm falling in love with each one when I'm doing them.""Let Me Know You're Feelin' Me".That wouldn't be very diplomatic."I'm very grateful that you took your time with me...I'm just happy to get this opportunity to talk to you at all.David Mancuso, Frankie's friend Larry Levan and Tee Scott.There are also some 10 songs inducted as well.And to Lono Brazil for getting me in touch with Frankie.Click Frankie's picture above to visit his own site !Note: some videos not suitable for minors may still appear in search results.This video has been added to your favorites.The video has been added to your playlist.This video will appear on your blog shortly.You would play the entire song within your set, cause it was so slamming.Made Jamie a household name overnight.HouseMasterz should've slowed it down some...Please login to subscribe.The man many call the godfather of house, Frankie Knuckles began DJing in New York in the early '70s while still a teenager, years before the disco boom which proved to be the first flowering of modern dance music.Who likes this artist...All Rights Reserved
