Europe’s biggest electronic music festival, Sonar is about to end today at Spain, but we got some solace for all of those who had to miss this great event. Pig Mag/Pig Radio just gave out this pretty much all awesome mix done by the godfather of housemusic, Frankie Knuckles.
Dj in the 70’s at the Continental Baths in NY with his fellow
partner Larry Levan, and from ‘77 to ‘82 at the Warehouse in Chicago
where the legend wants that the etiquette “House Music” was applied to
the sounds he played in that club. His 30+ years of career is full of
milestones, great musical productions and collaborations with the
greatest names in club music history (here and here
for complete bios). A founder of house music, a genre that recently
lives on the borders of the “trend setter’s” living rooms and clubs
around the world (see Edbanger, Modular, Kitsunè, Institubes, Boysnoize
Records…), today thanks to Sonar and Frank Warren Knuckles in person,
PIG offers you a 1 hour journey in his world to rediscover a sound that
sooner or later (maybe sooner than later – see Van Helden, McLean,
Hercules and DFA), could return to be enjoyed as one of the genres that
makes you dance with a smile that comes from your heart…
So enough talking and please enjoy mr Knuckle’s exclusive mix for PIG.
