Awesome interview
Awesome video.Your really confident and knowledgeable.
THIS IS F#*KING AWESOME!!!!!! Much GEEspect to FRANKIE BONES. \m/ <3 =D
Great interview. I want to hear more about what happened with the Fire Marshall in 1992. I think that may have involved a warehouse on 3rd Ave in Brooklyn.
Big props to Frankie B! Inspired me since day day one with his demonic rhythms….
Bones really blew me away 1st time i saw him in 1990……..and i witnessed the success n effect “effect” 1st hand……
wise words for young djs,,great post!
BEST INTERVIEW EVER PERIOD…!!!! So much respect for the legend…..this interview was amazing in that it allowed him to be so natural…… I think every new school D.J. should be required to watch this before they can play a gig LOL To see passion in a man of his stature for the music after so many years and ZERO ego attitude is refreshing—-
Frankie Bones is without doubt A LEGEND!!! anyone who thinks they know about this style of music and does not know who he is should do their homework and get up to date.
I love the fact that Frankie Bones mentions Jellybean Benitez as one of his motivators into this music
A legend alive
Brooklyn baby. A true Legend.
He was comedy gold on the myspace messageboards
are they still around?
For a pioneer he’s super humble, which is awesome. bangin.
if anybody is interested I have two 1210 technique tables and a 4 channel vestax mixer with coffin email me at [email protected]
Very informative
Frankie Bones chats with our host Chris Aurelius in this studio interview
on the EDM Nightlife Show.
It’s not every day that you run into a DJ playing for as long as Frankie
Bones. The guy is a legend, coined the acronym P.L.U.R…
Simply a legend. My Factory tapes are good memories straight from Groove Records Avenue U Brooklyn.
Those two have no reason to ever be in the same room together talking about i-lectronik muzik again….
live @ get freaky. best of the beast
Yo bones u forget your dentures!
Live @ get freaky 97 cassette is one of my most prized possessions!
top dj proper legend bones breaks series were supa underground classics i saw frankie at spike island and the braintree barn in 1991 it was unreal god how cool was frankie bones e inspired me to dj and i did for 20 year god this shit sends shivers don my spine what a legend
fucking clown shoes.
His tracks are ghost written.
and he’s not even a solid dj.
“I took all the money I made from that party and threw another party, then i took the money from that party and bought a bunch of meth, who knows what happened next, maybe ask the people that wrote my music for me?”
Dude “created” a scene, then ruined it with drugs, gangs, and violence. Its like expecting me to respect my dad that made me then beat me, got me hooked on drugs, and ruined my life.
Excuse me, can someone please pick that up…..? Frankie Bones just dropped knowledge in this interview.
totally agree, that dude doing the interview is clueless…
i wouldn’t know what to say watching that. is the guy’s name on the right “Elmer” ? seen and met way more impressive Legends in Graff and Dj’in and Producing/making music. Comedygold….
why am i thinking when watching this “fuckin awesome” interview of the term “self absorbed” ??? lol
Peace Love Unity Respect is now a world wide phenomena. Beat that!
Why all the hate? The Factory mixes were really great and he could really DJ back then. Maybe the drugs were too prevalent and he went down the wrong way, but even if Bam Bam or whoever ghost wrote some tracks props to him for pushing the old school tech house.
Called trolls..Its the net.
4 dislikes? Must have been that homo Savant.
This man destroyed most of the parties I went to in my youth. And owned my tape and vinyl collection for decades after.
Loved all Bones tracks, big influence to me…….had to sample him just once or twice :O)
Nice interview — the music always speaks for itself, so if you have any
doubts whatsoever, just listen — its easy to hate, its much harder to
create.
cocaine is a hell of a drug.
A you serious the interviewer ain’t got no idea about anything he is asking
frank….. Wealth of knowledge just get rid of the interviewer he is bad
As Frankie stated in this vid, “There is no underground anymore” Hence,
there are no raves anymore! So for these new skool edc festival/concert
goers, stop calling those raves!
