Most vinyl DJ's in the know with time under their belt have Bones records in their bag. Tracks, edits, & RMX's with his name that get the dance floor moving. Some of his live mix tapes/cd releases are the best around if you like high energy. One thing is for sure his skills can't be denied! LEGEND..In the 90's he played everywhere, and I couldn't understand his recent loss of popularity & bookings in the 2000's. I actually prefer his techno/house stuff over the breakbeat stuff he released, but that is just me. I sometimes wondered if that is kind of what isolated him in the end. Sometimes the breakbeat crowd can be very boxed in as a genre(meaning Breaks DJ's don't really care for Techno or House styles much) I personally like all types of music, but break beat parties only play Broken beat music & that style has loss popularity too. Anyway, Weather it was straight beat or broken beat it was high quality releases from Frankie Bones non the less. Not what is around now days... People today release tracks that are not even mastered or mixed right. It's a shame! Hope to see Bones return to the stage again. PLUR

I appreciate all the comments below. Somewhere in the past five years I got steamrolled by an onslaught of new talent which has turned this scene into a giant global phenomenon. But it's not over yet. Prepare for the next phase of this operation. New things are in the works.

How is there not a review for this man? Thats like not having a review for Babe Ruth! This man is one of new yorks greats and is purely legendary. He is the godfather of the rave scene! From breakbeat to acid, from hip house to techno there is no denying this mans contributions to the techno scene! Not many can boast his resume! One of the few to have underground and commercial success and rightfully so!
From classics like bonebreaks to the hits of his collaberation with Lenny Dee (Looney Tunes) to the founder of one of the great labels (Sonic Groove) and the many CLASS mixed CDs which he has blessed us with over the years! Words cant express this man in simplistic form! He is a legend with a true love for the music! Frankie is techno! I wish we had more like him with that fire! Instead we are saturated with watered down no less then crappy acts such as Deadmau5 and all clones like him...... You want honest techno? Then why settle for imatations when you can have the real thing? Thank you Mr. Bones! I don't know what life would be like what out you!
