back2basics Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 I think Frankie Knuckles and Graham Parks should be added to that list. With possibly Tony DeVit only because he is dead and it's much easier to be a legend when your dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie_pep Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Frankie Knuckles with out a doubt is a legend, if not THE legend. Knuckles is the father of house, the creator. He pioneered house music. The word "house" in house music comes from the club "Warehouse" in Chicago. This is where Knuckles was resident when he mixed a disco track with a euro-new wave pop track thus created the sound, that we all love and flock to today .... house music Frankie Knuckles the man, the myth, the legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Too true Frankie this is why i came to Chicago to find out what it was all about.It was a gay club (the Warehouse, it's shut down now). There was a big stigma attached to going because if you went you were gay.Such a shame it's shut down somebody should open it up again like Graceland or something!!

kove Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Bones (what would we be playing if the Warehouse had never been?), Junior Vasquez, Richie Hawtin, Digweed (how can you doubt the importance of Heaven Scent?).Who -will- be a legend? Here's my thoughts:Vasquez - Junior's so good, he'll make himself a legend AGAIN.SashaOakenfoldBarry from Thunderpuss. Ever heard him just be a dj? Amazing.BTKove.

back2basics Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Kove,carn't let you get away with BT, legendary DJ? Nah the fella always studio mixes all his compalations. Producer yes but DJ no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILL HOUSE YOU Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Along with Knuckles I'd say Todd Terry is the godfather of house...Danny Tenaglia, Junior of course, he made ny what it is...David Morales, Red Zone was the shit...Masters @ Work, they all pioneered the House sounds, so we have what he have today which has so many offshoots now that no one can keep track of...I'd say as far as today goes, Danny Tenaglia is the #1 DJ pioneering new music and keeping it true to the roots...Most producers now are just blowovers and people who caught a wave...they won't be here long because they don't have staying power like legends, like Knuckles, Todd Terry, maybe even Armand Van Helden who continues to go into other areas making new music, MAW, DT, etc.Hold On Tight, Enjoy The Ride...Mac------------------ "Music is my mistress, and she plays second fiddle to no one."

markds Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 I have to say that back2basics has the right idea. Frankie Knuckles and Graeme Park have to go down as two of the most influential in the early days of house music. Park played at the Hacienda in Manchester in late '80's and early 90's. Frankie played last night at Club NYC part of the Billboard Summit and was great. I liked Joey Negro who was there last night too and of course who can forget, Todd Terry.

kove Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 B2B, Good call out. I hadn't thought of it in that light, but you're quite correct.I wonder what he can do on some 12's? *ponder*------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Can I also submit for you nomination: DJ Eddie Baez. I might be biased (fuck might...I AM biased) but he's brought me and thousands of fans MANY years of enjoyable beats at venues he's played at. Hell, at his b-day party at Limelight 2 weeks ago, I had to hold back a Japanese girl who was stalking him all the way from (can you guess!!??) Japan. He's popular all the way across the world. Plus he coming out with a new CD very soon. Just to show you how much we enjoy his music, my friends and I are going to go to Tunnel next week just to be there for support. I haven't been to Tunnel since January 1999 when that kid OD'd. I was the last person that the ops took out (I was stuck in a "hole" in the upstairs bathroom). I refused ever to set foot in that place ever again. I'm always afraid that I'll relive that experience. But I'm setting all that aside for Eddie. Just my little ol' opinion.Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
