Frankie Bones was the original and first DJ coming out of the Brooklyn Underground during the mid 80's with the vision of what was yet to come on the Global front of Electronic Dance Music culture. His early mission came in the many releases of Fourth Floor and Nugroove Records. In a time when timing meant everything, the buzz of his early works caught the attention of the rapidly growing scenesters in the London Orbital M25 raves during the Summer Of Love in 1988.

Those early "Bonesbreaks" vinyls led Frankie to playing at a rave called "Energy" which had 25,000 people. With the scene already reaching critical mass, Bones had set off a fierce bidding war between XL Recordings and Deconstruction Records which led to two albums by Musto & Bones.

The U.K. was very impressed by Frankie's unique Brooklyn style which was a raw-freestylish-bass-in-your-bass-bins-but-electro-bass style that was raw enough to keep the entire scene and industry at bay, waiting for the underground to bubble over. With gigs, remixing and production work pouring in by the truckload, Frankie ventured out into the early European scene playing key breaking parties in France, Holland, Italy, Denmark and Germany. Each country taking note of his style and wanting to license music.

At the same time Frankie brought back the sounds of the Summer of Love to the US, kick starting the popularity of Techno music and rave culture as we know it. He was responsible for the legendary STORMrave events that literally shaped what an American rave should look and sound like for years to come. He brought the sound with him from coast to coast, setting off a musical wildfire that still burns brightly in many regions today, an amazing 20 years later!!

What began as obsession for record collecting in 1973, turned Frankie Bones into one of America's leading producer/DJ's of hard-edged electronic music known around the world. With his 20+ years experience, Frankie Bones has released such items as the early "Dangerous on the Dancefloor" and the album "The Future is Ours" , up to the newer "My Peak". He is a living legend who still keeps it coming.
