House Masters Vol. 1 [Vinyl]

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.

It's been a long time coming, but finally Defected's producer and remixer-focused House Masters series has turned its attention to the undisputed Godfather of House himself, the late, great Frankie Knuckles. This first part (of two) fittingly opens with the track that originally set out his melodious, warm, colourful and loved-up trademark sound, the Jamie Principle collaboration 'Your Love', before flitting between genuine anthems (legendary remixes of Loose Ends' 'Hangin' On a String' and 'Blind' by Hercules and Love Affair, the sleazy, acid house-era 'Baby Wants To Ride', the exceptional 'Hallucinogenic Mix' of Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody') and arguably more overlooked gems (the garage-house wonders that are his remixes of Adeva and Sounds of Blackness).
