Yesterday the world lost who in my humble opinion, was one of the most inspirational and iconic figures in history. Frankie Knuckles is labeled by many, and the dj culture as a whole, as the originator and inventor of House music. Without House music, I have no idea where I would be in life right now, and who knows where the world of music would be. Frankie died at the relatively young age of 59, but has no doubt left behind a legacy of happiness, acceptance, joy, and individuality. So truly honored to have seen him perform his art, and truly sad to see him go.
In honor, the French funk dj Dimitri from Paris has put together a tribute mix to the inventor of Jack, and it's about as perfect as can be...
