Boiler Room have announced that they will broadcast the only international Official Tribute to Frankie Knuckles approved by the Frankie Knuckles Foundation and his estate. The show will take place on March 31st at Smart Bar in Detroit (where Frankie himself was a resident DJ).
Music will be provided by close connections of Frankie. Elbert Philips, Michael Serafini, Alan King and Derrick Carter will all play at the special live event alongside many very special surprise guests. Expect house music royalty to be in the house for this very special night of music.
“It is truly an honor and a privilege to be asked by the Frankie Knuckles Foundation and Boiler Room TV to participate creatively in this very special tribute to Frankie. It’s been a year since the house music community lost our guiding light, and we should continue to celebrate Frankie’s life and legacy for all he has given to us and the world.” – Alan King
On the night there will be specially-commissioned artwork available on the ground to raise money for the Frankie Knuckles Foundation and a Paypal will be set up for donations.
