From his days in the late Seventies at The Warehouse in Chicago, Frankie Knuckles, often referred to as ‘The Godfather of House’ fused disco music with early electro and then the emerging strains of house music in the mid Eighties, becoming synonymous with records such as "Your Love", "Baby Wants To Ride", "Rainfalls", "Tears" and more. Frankie has also remixed numerous high profile and respected artists including Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, Janet and Michael Jackson.

One of the most lauded and respected house DJ’s ever, Todd’s back catalogue sees his own productions such as Orange Lemon’s “Dream Of Santa Anna”, Black Riot’s “A Day In The Life” and “Just Make That Move”, CLS’s “Can You Feel It” compete with his extensive repertoire of remixes for space within his innovative and tightly constructed sets.
The event provides the opportunity to hear three true legends of the scene as Frankie and Todd are joined by Marshall Jefferson, one of the main influences on the development of Chicago House. In crafting classics like ‘Move Your Body’, Traxx Releases such “Open Our Eyes” and performing on Ce Ce Roger’s seminal “Someday”, Marshall has travelled the world preaching the gospel of the original house sound and his name is widely respected for his role in the history of house music.
