FRANKIE BONES
Sonic Groove | Drop Bass Network | Ghetto Technics  System Recordings | Stormrave > New York City, NY

Frankie Bones, thugs & harmony, the Raviest American hero. A DJ who has the total and exclusive eyewitness Report on DJ culture and how it began in Europe and then the United States. Long before Das Google-maschine brought the world into our bedrooms, Frankie Bones set out to harness the international power of electronic music. He used guerilla street tactics, not blogs and email blasts to do so, as things were very different back then. With so many DJ’s blogging away on the internet it becomes real easy to lose track of the history. Yet before DJ culture went global, it has a deep-rooted history to New York City. Electronic Music became popular through the early Hip-Hop scene as far back as 1982. The year the Roland 808 drum machine was released Arthur Baker & John Robie created “Planet Rock” which gave Kraftwerk street sensibility. Hip Hop. Hip being in the know and what was happening in the streets. Hop being the movement; DJ’s, MC’s, Break-Dancers and Graffiti. The subculture of Hip Hop took the street element right below the surface. To define “Underground” in its true context, Frankie was spending many nights exploring subway tunnels and writing “Bones” on every train in the transport system. In true warrior fashion, like the plot of the movie, Bones would explore every part of New York City. In the 80’s, the buzz was created through a network of record-stores, which sold vinyl. On any given Saturday, Bones would just go digging for beats. In 1984 Bones met Omar Santana & Carlos Berrios who were getting popular from doing edits on reel-to-reel tape. Omar was getting lots of work from record labels and it took on a life of its own, steady work was pouring in. At 18 years old Frankie Bones started his first residency as a DJ in a Long Island club and on December 1, 1984 the state of New York raised the drinking age to 21. This forced Bones into writing and producing. Omar, Carlos & Bones meeting was a blessing. Still teenagers, hungry & determined, their names on records gave them street credit. Aldo Marin from Cutting Records signed Sa-Fire & Corina which both were certified radio hits in NYC and Miami. Frankie was ghostwriting lyrics for Omar & Carlos and once the first tracks were released there was no looking back. L’mour & La’mour East were Brooklyn & Queens biggest venues, Carlos began playing in Queens and Bones got the Brooklyn residency in early 1987. Omar introduced Bones to Tommy Musto & Lenny Dee and this was right when Fourth Floor/Nugroove records were moving into new offices in Manhattan. Within the first two years, Bones had produced dozens of underground tracks, selling upwards of 227,000 units in New York City alone. This is where the real story begins. Bones daily routine was not one of paying dues it was more like playing a part. Apexton Records was a record pressing plant in Queens. He began working there as the guy who shrink-wrapped the records. Within two weeks Bones had his own office after hearing a Todd Terry demo and wandering into a closed-door meeting, (inquiring), “what is that?” It happened to be the first Masters At Work demo. They were about to pass on it when his curiosity suddenly sparked interest. 10,000 copies later, Frankie would oversee the projects, sign demo’s, box records and sell records… he was in the abyss. 21 years old and not a moment wasted. In 1988, Bones and Lenny Dee were spinning in Long Island, Staten Island & The Jersey Shore every weekend on both Friday & Saturday nights. New records were released every week and suddenly everything is being licensed to U.K. labels. The “Rave Scene” in London had become the next big thing. Frankie knew his music was becoming more popular in London then in New York, thus a tour was planned. He was set to headline a 5000-person event called “Energy” on August 26, 1989; as Bones walked into his future that morning, 25,000 people in unison were about to witness the strength of street knowledge. The promoter Tin-Tin Chambers wrote: "When Frankie saw it, it totally took his head off. He played the morning set until the sun came up; so he played the dawn, basically. For him to witness the impact of the people who would chant & sing to the music he made and played, it really blew him away”. Of course he would bring that experience back to America and up to that point, there never was a scene in America. Once back State-side Frankie wrote “Energy Dawn” for XL and that turned into quite the classic". That night at ENERGY Frankie met Paul Oakenfold & Carl Cox and they all made history. Bones, thrust right into the minds of the U.K. youth. The rest of Europe paid close attention and he began playing the first events in France, Italy, Germany, Denmark and Holland. The history was left in the names of the 1990 & 1991 Love Parade’s in Germany. Frankie went on to produce “My House Is Your House” and “The Future Is Ours”, making him an early rising star in Germany. Bones never really wanted to rise to fame and fortune in Europe. In fact he was quite content with his former New York City status and many times homesick after living on and off in London. It was a hectic schedule that included many countries and lots of travel. It wasn’t a problem at first, but when Bones realized the potential in America after being booked as London’s most recognized rave DJ (for a party in Los Angeles) the countdown had begun. On June 1, 1990 the promoters in California were expecting a Brit and were virtually upset when they heard a New York accent. They had no idea. Bones then realized the West Coast scene was about to explode. He went back to Brooklyn and started throwing STORMRAVE and event that became infamous in the USA. Frankie became popular on both coasts simultaneously. From 1990 on, the movement spread quickly towards mid America and by 1993 there was a scene in every state of the nation. Frankie Bones is the only DJ able to be part of all three original EDM scenes. He claims his love for the music and scene always rotates around the early days of California; whereas, he couldn’t wait to get out of London, he never wanted to leave Los Angeles. There is so much more to the story of Frankie Bones, the basis of the next 20 years remained the same. To play great music for the people wherever the scene takes him. Frankie still spins every weekend and always stays current to the trends and styles that in turn, make up DJ culture.

MARC REMILLARD
Trouble & Bass| Royal Fetish | Simma | Bugeye Records > Montreal, Quebec

Electronic music producer, DJ, event promoter and heavy bass lover, Marc Rémillard has been around for three years now, delivering solid tracks through a variety of labels, such as Trouble&Bass, BugEyed Records, So French, Play Me Records, etc. Born and raised in Quebec City, Canada, Marc Rémillard has always strived to achieve a musical career. Composition-oriented form the beginning, he made his debut in the industry as a guitarist and music writer in a prog-rock band, but soon chose to devote himself entirely to his electronic projects, as his experiments on the digital arena were getting more and more prolific. Marc Rémillard got his first signing in 2008 -- next thing we knew of, he was rocking crowds at important local venues and conquering the neighboring Montreal scene, sharing the stage with the likes of Willy Joy, Kid Sister, Terror Danjah, Eskmo, Bare Noize, Drop the Lime and Bar 9, to name a few. It is primarily through his audacious creativity and forward-mindedness that his local career so swiftly took off, as he began multiplying original productions and throwing massive local parties. Marc Rémillard has also quickly gained support from respected names on the worldwide scene. In 2008 and 2009 respectively, he acquired visibility by winning two remix contests -- Pop Inc.'s "Looking for the KLF" and Radio-Canada's "Bande à Part" national remix contest. In 2010, he was noticed by Drop The Lime with his track Downtown, which was subsequently released on T&B. In 2010, Marc Rémillard began collaborating with Denmark's leading producer Frederik Olufsen, with whom he started running the label Royal Fetish Recordings. They worked together on a number of productions and joined forces on a Canada tour in early 2011. Marc Rémillard also frequently teams up with Canadian singer Dee and American rapper Messinian, who both contributed vocals on his material. He also has ongoing projects in collaboration with Mustard Pimp, Costello, Hostage, Will Bailey and Willy Joy, among others. Thanks to his solid productions, diverse sound -- ranging from tropical vibes to trash and dubstep -- and high-powered live performances, Marc Rémillard has managed, all within two years, to distinguish himself as one of the most important event promoters in his hometown, one of the busiest producers in Montreal, and a significant and promising figure on the worldwide scene. But when it comes to music, there's only one crucial thing to remember: it's all about the bass!
