TO COMMEMORATE THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PASSING, DEFECTED HONORS FRANKIE KNUCKLES WITH A SPECIAL VINYL EDITION OF 'HOUSE MASTERS' Marking ten years since his passing, join Defected in honoring the enduring legacy of house music pioneer. All proceeds of 'House Masters: Frankie Knuckles' will be donated to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation as it was when the compilation was originally released back in April 2015. 'Frankie Knuckles, whom many consider to be one of the architects of house music is still highly influential to a new generation. Since his untimely passing ten years ago it has been incredible to see the continued outpouring of love and respect that he has received. His legacy is why the Frankie Knuckles Foundation exists. Through our work we honor him by supporting initiatives that he was passionate about: music education, AIDS and diabetes research, prevention and LGBTQIA+ youth homelessness. This commemorative vinyl release of 'House Masters' in association with Defected will allow us to do just that!' - Frederick Dunson, Founder, President & Executive Director, Frankie Knuckles FoundationThe forthcoming vinyl releases will feature a selection of his finest productions and remixes including the seminal 'Your Love', 'The Whistle Song' and remixes for Chaka Khan and Sounds of Blackness. His original 2015 compilation was a CD-only release. This is the first time this album has been available on vinyl, featuring 14 of the original 22 tracks spread over 2 double vinyl releases (plus 2 bonus remixes not available on the original CD compilation)!Find out more about Frankie Knuckles Foundation and it's commitment to educating and supporting initiatives across LGBTQIA+ communities and AIDs prevention here: https://thefkfoundation.
