Biography of Frankie Bones
Brooklyn 1973. New York's Frankie Bones not yet old enough to cross the street finds his way through the abandoned freight tracks at the end of his block to a flea market. It was there that this young boy became addicted to something that was later admired upon. 'I'm a vinyl junky, I've been buying records every weekend since 1973. It didn't take me long to figure out that records were made for people who D.J., and I love to to turn people on to music'. Soon the grafitti writer turned producer was propelled into the limelight and was receiving huge success via his partnership with Tommy Musto (Musto & Bones). With releases such as 'Dangerous on the Dancefloor' and the album 'The Future is Ours' the hoouse phenomenom was born. He soon began solo projects releasing an innovative series of 12's on his Breakin' Bones imprint. At 5.30am on the 26th August, 1989 Frankie Bones walked on stage in front of 25,000 people. The event was called 'Energy', and was to go down in history.
The Prodigy's Liam Howlett speaks of this time: 'I was into Frankie Bones, he would really rip it up. I'd go out and get inspiration listening to him, come home and write music'. Fuelled by this experience Frankie took it upon himself to start a scene in his native Brooklyn. The legendary 'BonesBreaks' series and 'Lonny Tunes' ep's on NU Groove started coming out. He started throwing small parties called 'Stormrave'. These parties exploded, going from just a handful of people to 5,000 people in a warehouse, on September 19th 1992. These parties gave many of todays most revered dj/producers their first taste: Sven Vath, Adam 'X', Josh Wink, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram to name just a few. Frankie opened up the first specialist record store in New York; Groove Records in Brooklyn. Driven by his love for the underground he pioneered the East Coast scene.
Today, Frankie's store has changed name and moved location. Sonic Groove Records on Carmine St, Manhattan is the best specialist underground electronic music record shop in the USA if not the world. frankie is still looked upon as the 'father of the East Coast rave scene': the innovator. He is the most sought after dj throughour North America and is regaining his rightful position in the UK scene: Grand maestro of the undergound. Now with his brother Adam 'X' they have started one of the best futuristic electronic record labels, which is aptly namd after their store: Sonic Groove. Strivng to constantly push the boundaries of techno and house music, Frankie Bones is truly a living legend.

Comment: not as good as other earlier sets by him (ie: amnesia house) but still a pretty good representation of what the sound was at the time, as well as frankie bones' sound back then.
i felt it lacked the energy he normally put into other sets though, but a good set for hardcore/rave enthusiasts.

Comment: A good mix by Frankie Bones (albeit not as good as some of his other earlier mixes). It did have "Synth-It" by Revalation on Atmosphere Records on it so who am I to complain!!! Captures the sound of the time well. Frankie's name appears on so many classics it's difficult to add anything that the other members haven't already done so. If you're into your early 90s rave/techno you'll enjoy this.

Comment: Outstanding mix... Old School Frankie Bones at its best when he used to play outstanding progressive breaks and house. This mix truely shows how much a DJs taste can change over the years. Frankie ripped it up on a much deeper level than his late 90s hard house mixes.

Comment: i'm not convinced this is a live mix from 1990 because the sound quality is so good it sounds like it was a studio mix. all the tracks are the exact same level, it must have been remastering from a DAT. regardless, this is a great mix of very old school house and techno music. the first 20 minutes or so are a house style i'm not familiar with frankie bones playing, though its not bad. from there it's more of a techno sound that one would typically equate with frankie. all in all a good mix of old school tracks and definitely worth a download.

Comment: So this was the first frankie bones download, let alone my first time checking out some old skool stuff. For some old stuff, i am suprised on how the quality of the sound is. This download made me crazy like frankie bones and i loved it the most in the last 40 minutes of the set. The beginning was a little slow. I like the job in adding the voices of the dudes talking and what not, it added a lot to the music. Awesome job man!
