Frankie Knuckles. The remixography of the man reads like a who's who. Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton, Lisa Stansfield, Gabrielle, Pet Shop Boys, Hercules & Love Affair and many more. His death left a massive void and its a huge honour to review this collection of Director's Cut productions and remixes by Frankie and his friend Eric Kupper, who also provides a DJ mix..
This album captures 20 unmixed Director's Cut productions and remixes, some classic, some written at the time of Frankie's death. Classics included here include the remixes for Candi Staton's "Hallelujah Anyway", on Defected, "In It Together" by Human Life and the epic mix of The Secret Life Of Us by The Sunburst Band.
The production of this definitive collection is immense. It is such an epic collection and a marvellous tribute to a legend to the world of house music, and music in general. His remix of Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton is still played by me to this day. You need to get this one. Seriously.
This collection is available on 3xCD, the third disc being a DJ mix, and vinyl. The second part of the vinyl set is available in August.
