In with the old and in with the new! 🕺🏽 This mix is for the originators of electronic and dance music and the current artists fighting for our recognition! ✊🏾 The Godfather of House Music, Frankie Knuckles, paved the way for EDM as a whole. In the late 1970s, Knuckles made a name for himself as a DJ in NYC. He then moved to Chicago to take over a new club called “The Warehouse,” a place where LGBTQ+ POC could dance, express themselves, and bring their allies. His eclectic mix of funk, disco, electro, pop, and soul music took Chicago - and then the music industry - by storm. It was there that House music (named after that same Chicago club) was born. 🪩 As artists and music fans, we owe it to the artists who pioneered the music we love. Take the time today to listen to and learn from the powerful impact Black music has on ALL genres. Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚 . . . . #housemusic #juneteenth #dj #frankieknuckles #edm #blackmusic
