Biografie Frankie Knuckles

Frankie Knuckles este unul dintre personajele fara de care muzica electronica ar fi avut un cu totul alt traseu astazi.

S-a nascut in 1955 in New York iar astazi este considerat un veteran nu doar de catre presa de specialitate, ci si de catre orice artist activ in industria muzicala electronica. Alaturi de David Morales a format Def Mix Productions.

In 2005, Knuckles a fost decorat cu Dance Music Hall of Fame pentru contributiile remarcabile aduse muzicii electronice si DJ-ing-ului.
