LOVED this interview with Frankie Knuckles. The Godfather of House.

He talks about so much - growing up with Luther Vandross, getting into teenage scrapes with Larry Levan - before going on to learn to DJ with him at the Paradise Garage. And the Warehouse of course, getting into production, his later life and feeling like his music didn't have any place.

Honestly, just such a lovely man.

RIP Frankie ❤️

#LarryLevan at the Paradise Garage in 1985: "Levan was described as being "worshipped, almost like a god." As beat-matching and ideological stylistic adherence became the norm among club #DJs, Levan's idiosyncratic sets (running the gamut from Evelyn "Champagne" King, Chaka Khan and Deodato with Camille to Kraftwerk, Manuel Göttsching, and British synthpop) elicited criticism from some quarters. Nevertheless, he remained at the forefront of dance #music" -wikipedia

3 things about Josell Ramos’s MAESTRO [2003]

1. Reading the grooves without headphones.
2. An array of tweeters suspended over the dancefloor.
3. Gwen Guthrie’s farewell speech at the closing of the Paradise Garage.
