Frankie Valentine

[Edie Antoinette]

I have found a treasure! Oh my goodness!

Frankie Valentine is a well known DJ and producer but information about him has been one of the best-kept secrets in the British music industry so far! As one of the pioneering club DJ's during the dance music revolution in the eighties, Frankie's love for new sounds quickly established him as one of the major British exponents of dance music. His talents were inevitably recognized abroad where he has spent much of his time DJing and producing.

Frankie began his DJ career in the mid 70s in London lifting reggae sound system speaker boxes at the tender age of 13. After serving his apprenticeship as a box boy he then began to explore his musical tastes more in depth. Some of You may remember. Frankie as one of london's cutting edge House/Electronic and leftfield DJ's during the 80's/90's and beyond.

Some of his past residencies in London include: Ronnie Scotts in Soho, The Limelight, The Park in Kensington, The Rotary Club held at The Gardening Club - Covent Garden, Madame JoJo's in Soho, Right Area @ Plastic People and The End. He also held a residency abroad at the famous Tresor in Berlin. He has also supported many internationally known acts such as: Electribe 101, 808 State, Underground Resistance, Yoruba Jazz People, Bah Samba and Ultra Nate.

In 1990 his first recording, "Aerotec" was released on Scien Records in Japan and since then, he has recorded on countless labels around the globe Frankie has been known to take on the occasional remix, remixing artists such as Blaze, Leroy Burgess, Chari Chari, Revsionaries featuring Alexis P. Suter and Nicky Lawrence.

Frankie Valentine has yielded a journey of artistic integrity, developing and experimenting in an industry growing in quantity, and demanding in quality and originality. He remains true to his originality, through the confides of the industry.

Not sure why those little lines appear in front of the "http" on the 2nd 3rd and 4th url's. They should not be there. And I am just like my Daddy I'm always noticing. An imperfect perfectionist..LOL

[Edie Antoinette]

Here's the four tracks up there. I was thinking that you need the url's too for your LL player.

LOL!!! You always make me smile and laugh out loud. Thank you. Mi casa es Su casa.

I'm affraid to join your Lab site...I may get lost in the Lab and never come out!! (LOL)...I'll do that later...Thank you E. I will only use this privalege for my personal enjoyment. You are such a treasure to the world...

[Edie Antoinette]

LOL!! I started out putting him in HotHouse, and I still will--however, until people come in there more, I wanted this to be featured more broadly...so I did him as a blog first. I'll do it now though and change the order of the play.

Personally, I think the second one should go first--powerful stuff right there!!!! Whew!!

Now: You have full access to everything that I post. Just place your cursor on the track within the player above,
then right-click it. a box will open giving the option to "download this track". Ignore that little arrow that appears on the upper-right of the track. That's just some Yahoo mess. It doesn't lead to anything. Take whatever you want from wherever you want. Another option is join my Lab site and I will make you admin--that way you have carte blanche to ALL of my treasures.

For some reason the number 2 track isn't playing through. Let me investigate. I can't be havin that! LOL
By the by: I went berserk last night when I found Frankie...I mean I went mad!!! LOL

[Lydell Jackson]

E,
I need all this stuff on a CD...How can I do that? U got me hooked like a big FISH!!! (ROFL)
Why didn't you put this in the HotHouse group?

[Lydell Jackson]

I would love to use these tracks as the intro for "Living Legacy" if I knew what he was sayin! Especially track 2
Amazing...Quite Amazing!!! The rythms on the second track have so many layers that your body can only shake and quiver tryin' to follow all that percussive lead....OUTSTANDING...I got to get up now (LOL)...*dancing wildly* uncontrollable...my peoples callin' me now...
