I realize that commenting for this post has long passed, but WOW paul! I did not know that Frankie Knuckles had passed, and in 2014.

Although I know Frankie Knuckles, this was entirely new to me Paul. There is such a vibe here and it’s extremely hypnotizing. I can only imagine this in a huge club on a phenomenal sound system. This puts me in a trance and I feel like I could astral project myself to another dimension. This is majestic and magnificent. I’m enjoying this trip!!
