So we’re continuing with the Throwback mixes! It’s timely that this week, an exclusive mix by Frankie Knuckles was released on Soundcloud which means we are going all the way back to 1986!

One of the pioneers of House music and a legend of the LGBTQ community, Frankie Knuckles played a pivotal role in shaping the word of DJing and dance music across the globe. This previously unreleased set offers a glimpse into the early years of clubbing in the US. There’s no House music here, what we get is a selection of Soul, Disco, Funk and Rare Groove straight from Mr Knuckles’ record box. This is how the OGs played back in the day, a essential slice of dance music history.
