Tedd Patterson is a name synonymous with house music who aims to continue to push musical boundaries with his production and sound. Currently riding high and apperntly headlining some of the world’s most innovative and underground clubs around the world, this NYC based house music originator and LGBTQ+ ambassador recently dropped the brand new queer house anthem ‘Let The Music Set You Free’ on SoSure Music.
Tedd Patterson continues to push his musical boundaries with his productions and still regularly plays at various dance music events. An NYC originator, through his residencies at various clubs, he apparently played a central part in establishing the scene and sound that continues today. Here, he collaborates with Inaya Day to drop his next release, ‘Piece Of Me’ on SoSure Music.
Known as ‘The Godfather Of House’, Frankie Knuckles had a career that spanned over four decades, his catalogue combines a wide range of releases and projects that were pivotal to the movement of house music.
Frankie Knuckles’ sound possibly inspired a movement of love across dancefloors in Chicago and beyond. In retrospect of a career that spanned over four decades, there are moments that were probably pivotal to the movement of house music and changed the course of dance music. Frankie’s 1991 studio album ‘Beyond The Mix’ on Virgin Records, featured one track that would likely remain in the hearts and minds of generations to come.
Arguably one of the most iconic house music moments, born from the black LGBTQ+ scene in Chicago at the legendary Warehouse nightclub and known as one of Frankie Knuckles' earliest productions; ‘Your Love’ is a classic.
Each year, 25 August marks Frankie Knuckles Day and to celebrate the occasion and the history of the classic ‘The Whistle Song’, Eric Kupper himself via Hysteria and in collaboration with the Frankie Knuckles Foundation and SoSure Music, has reproduced and remastered the original demo mix that he handed to Frankie on tape in a studio session all those years ago, for a special one-sided release. The duo were friends, production partners and long-time writing collaborators for over 25 years.
