Frankie Knuckles (born January 18 1955, New York) is an American DJ, Record producer and Remix artist The term is in fact a trademark, but the style itself would be much-copied - almost to the point of being a subgenre itself. A trademark or trade mark, represented by the symbols ™ and ®, or mark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual A genre (ˈʒɑːnrə also /ˈdʒɑːnrə/ from French "kind" or "sort" from Latin: genus (stem gener-) is a loose set The style is noteworthy for honoring the intended arrangement of a recording, but carefully adding and substituting electronic elements, in particular deep bass, crisp and minimal use of the snare drum, synthesized strings, and rich piano parts which were alternately whimsical and profound (usually within the same mix) but always lyrical.
On many of the best examples of these mixes, Knuckles was working with engineer John Poppo, and his engineering alone provided a uniquely solid bass and tight, compressed high-end percussion (see gated snare) that many afficianados can immediately identify. Gated reverb is an audio processing technique that is applied to recordings of drums (or live sound reinforcement of drums in a PA system) to make the drums sound powerful and Others to engineer for Morales and Knuckles would include David Sussman and Mr. Morales himself.
The name was arrived at because Mr. Knuckles felt he was providing the definitive mix for the dancefloor and one that would outlast fads in dance music culture. Knuckles would go on to name his company Def Mix Productions, thus trademarking his invention. A decade before Knuckles, Tom Moulton would apply the same philosophy using organic (or classical) instrumentation to invent the dance remix as we know it. Tom Moulton (born 1940 is an American Record producer and originator of the Remix, the breakdown section, and the 12-inch single Classical music is a broad term that usually refers to mainstream music produced in or rooted in the traditions of Western liturgical and Secular music Similar to Knuckles, Moulton invented a trademark for himself ("a Tom Moulton Mix"). A Tom Moulton Mix is a phrase indicating that a Dance record had been mixed by Tom Moulton. It may surprise many to learn that both men ultimately took out more than they put in to the finished mix.
