The beginning years of Frankie Knuckles is like many others dj’ing small rooms until he found himself behind the decks of NYC’s Continental Baths. The FIT (Fashion Institute) student and DJ journeyed to Chicago in 1977 to helm the decks of a nightclub called “The Warehouse”. From that day his popularity rose to heights never before witnessed by a DJ. It was the kids that hung out at The Warehouse not the press that actually gave me this term of endearment “The Godfather of House” Knuckles clarifies.

Following the closure of The Warehouse in 1983 Knuckles went on to open his own place, The Power Plant. At this time he began production with Jamie Principle on the legendary hits "YOUR LOVE" & "BABY WANTS TO RIDE". Closing the Power Plant in 1986 to pursue a career in production Knuckles returned to the turntables of New York City spinning first at “The World” and then the still-revered Sound Factory. His career was building, his production blossoming it was time to go back to where he started to see how far he had come. Entrance for public at 23:00. 20 + I.D. Required.
