[QUOTE="bucky, post: 357548, member: 1074"] Yo peeps. I'm really looking forward to return of Frankie Knuckles on the 19th - his last visit to Sankeys Soap was ace and one of my favourite nights out of that year. I'll be playing upstairs along with my friend George who I work in the studio with and Crush. George will be opening up the Soap Bar with some Block party beats and sounds then myself and Crush will be playing right across the board drawing on influences and inspiration from music that made the scene what it is today. It's all about the MUSIC and ANYTHING goes Who's coming?! PM for more information. Here's some information about Frankie Knuckles. 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. He first took to the turntables in the late Seventies, mixing up disco and funky soul at gay venues like Better Days and the Continental Baths, before moving to Chicago in the late Seventies for a residency at the Warehouse, where modern dance music reached a crucial turning point. Knuckles moved to another new venture in 1983, The Power Plant, which is situated on the north side of Chicago, and already a scene was beginning to emerge. ------------------------------------------------ The rumour that the term 'House Music' is derived from the name of the Warehouse is probably not far from the truth, for it's almost certain that this is where - under throbbing strobes and among sweaty bare-chested men and the faintest whiff of amyl-nitrate - the trend found its feet. ------------------------------------------------- The term 'House Music' is derived from the club that the music stems from, 'The WareHouse', in Chicago. Between 1977 and 1983 it was presided over by DJ Frankie Knuckles [he moved there from New York City in 1977], where he played a mixture of underground Disco, Funk, Soul and classic Philly sounds to a loyal following of predominantly black, gay clubbers. ------------------------------------------------- See you on the floor.
