MIGHTY REAL Presents "The Godfather - Part 1"

A tribute to Frankie Knuckles (Defmix)

HECTOR ROMERO (DEF MIX / NYC)

w/ Mighty Real Resident

DAVID HARNESS (HARLUM MUZIQ)


As many of you probably know by now, Frankie Knuckles passed from us on Monday, March 31st, 2014. While he was booked on Saturday, May 10th to play Mighty Real, we have decided to pay homage to this musical giant by dedicating this night to his memory. We'll have special visuals, a shrine where people can write and dedicate their thoughts and prayers, and Hector Romero (DEF MIX/NYC) with David Harness will be laying down the tunes "Knuckles style" all night long.

 

A portion of the proceeds will be going to the Frankie Knuckles Fund, established by Sir Elton John and Judy Weinstein of Defmix Production. 

 

----------------------------------

 

The man many call the godfather of house, Frankie Knuckles began DJing in New York in the early '70s while still a teenager, years before the disco boom which proved to be the first flowering of modern dance music. Ten years later he was in Chicago, putting together megamixes of old disco hits with new drum-machine percussion for an appreciative audience at crucial clubs like the Music Box and the Warehouse. Another decade on from those first formative steps for house music, Knuckles was back in his New York home, working as a producer and remixer for the biggest pop stars in the business. His career spans more time than any dance producer and without him, the landscape would be immeasurably different.
