Frankie Knuckles part 2



Warehouse resident Frankie Knuckles did his mix of this timeless disco/house classic in 1983. This is easily one of my alltime favorite tunes. Considered a "must-be" on every greatest disco tracks list. *In the late great Christopher voice* - If you don't know, now you know...

Gucci time



Gucci Time grand opening tonight at Redrum! Don't be fooled by the "appella" in the parentheses, this version of "Nu Nu" is some serious heat when used right in any club with proper soundsystem.

Ron Trent



The run out groove on side A said it all "This masterpiece will be a classic forever.." Fun fact: Ron Trent was only 15 years old when he made this one in 1990.

House music (pt.2)



Big saturday coming up! House music all night long! Below are a couple of classic vocal tracks that will help you make it through these rainy winter days. The first one is an epic promo only edit by the one'n'only FK, released in 1991. Second on the platter is a beautiful vocal gospel track by Kenny Bobien, produced by Masters At Work in 1998.

Frankie Knuckles feat. Lisa Michaelis - Rainfalls (Rainapella)

Bonus track is by one of my most respects fellow Finns - Klas "Sasse" Lindblad aka Freestyle Man. This one's off his 1999 "Solid Support" EP.

Unfinished Business



This is Frankie Knuckles' Re-Version of the Omni's original. And what a job he did! One of my favourite songs of all time.
