There are few people across the globe, who will have not been touched by the work of Frankie Knuckles. Forever regarded as The Godfather of House for his unrivalled contribution to the house music we know today; what started as an underground movement in Chicago has grown to international heights thanks to Frankie. His records earned him recognition on a global scale, allowing him to work with some of the globes biggest names including the likes of Diana Ross, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. Five years ago, Frankie passed away in Chicago on 31st March 2014 leaving behind one of the greatest house music legacies spanning almost four decades. Now he is commemorated by long time writing and production partner Eric Kupper. Eric, himself a seasoned DJ producer and writer, has worked on over 116 Billboard #1 Dance Records and played a pivotal role in a many of Frankie's productions. Having both worked together for many years they established themselves at Director's Cut from 2011 and set about producing original releases and remixes based on the classic Def Mix sound while sharing equal credits for their creations. Together they re-produced and re-purpose classic cuts for modern dancefloors, with reworks including tracks from Marshall Jefferson, Ashford & Simpson, Artful & Ridney and The Sunburst Band, alongside Frankie Knuckles originals. These releases have now been brought together by Eric to feature on special album called The Directors Cut Collection on SoSure Music. It includes the Director's Cut reworks of Frankie's classic cuts such as Your Love and Take You There with Jamie Principle, alongside Frankie's first #1 single - The Whistle Song on which Eric shares writing credits. Within a multitude of classic reworks, highlights include a previously unreleased version of Ashford & Simpson's Bourgie Bourgie and a huge Director's Cut Retro Signature mix of Marshall Jefferson's The House Music Anthem (Move Your Body) featuring Curtis McClain. The Director's Cut Collection is a fitting tribute to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Frankie's passing whilst giving Eric a platform to tell his side of the creative story. This album is to be released in collaboration with The Frankie Knuckles Foundation who work to continuing Frankie's legacy well into the future.
