>> Frankie Knuckles
bio: Frankie Knuckles ?A New Reality? is an existence with soulful sounds and familiar faces. Inspired by humanity?s desire to let go and enjoy life, Knuckles has created a mixture of house and soulful R&B that gets you out of your head and onto the dance floor. On this album, Knuckles reunites his classic team in order to take you back in the day... Engineer David Sussman, arranger Danny Madden, programmers and keyboard players Eric Kupper, Alex Schantiz, and Peter ?Ski? Schwarts on strings are the leaders of Knuckles? technical team. Also back is Nikki Richards, known around the world as ?the girl to get? for her smooth and sultry vocals. Having recorded with the likes of Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross, Nikki is featured on the tracks ?Matter of Time?, ?Journey?, ?I?ve Had Enough?, and ?The Bumpkin Song (Gimmie Gimmie)?. On ?What?s Going On?, Will Downing lends his steamy vocals to this bump and grind track. For all the old skool house fans, Knuckles gives you a special treat by reuniting with Satoshi Tomiie who co-wrote and engineered the driving house track ?Hit the Flow? featuring CeCe Rogers on vocals. The first single ?Bac N da Day? might sound familiar as it was tested on dance floors in the fall of 2003 and became an instant classic. For the first time in almost 20 years, Knuckles and Jamie Principle teamed up to give you this funky track with happy melodies. It was mixed by the Cleptomanicas, Brian Tappert and John Julius Knight. With a David Morales remix to be included on the 12? vinyl. To complete his masterpiece, Knuckles has discovered piano player/writer Daisuke, who wrote and performed the track ?Emotional Energy?. A new talent from Japan, Knuckles and Daisuke create a breath of fresh air with this classical piano piece. The Godfather of House has made another instant classic. Frankie Knuckles ?A New Reality? is a roller coaster of soulful sounds that should be racked in both the Dance/Electronic and R&B sections.
