Straight out of the Brooklyn block, and back on the London streets, New York City’s legendary DJ, producer and label owner Frankie Feliciano, returns to the UK for an exclusive one off night of pure soulful house heaven. For those who have experienced Frankie’s golden DJ touch in the past, the memory of dancing all night to his deep & mature brand of house music surely needs to be revisited. Tonight, supported by two of the UK’s leading lights in soulful house music – BBC 1Xtra’s Aaron Ross and Soul Heaven’s Neil Pierce. The three will be laying down their signature New York-flavoured house, soulful vocals and boogie-influenced grooves.


London means a lot to Frankie. It was at Ministry of Sound that he bagged his first ever paid DJ booking in the early nineties, leading to a lifetime of incredible sets in prestigious clubs all over the world. And like many New Yorkers of his generation, his musical journey goes way back…from his youthful days falling in love with hip hop culture in all its infancy, begging his parents for decks and educating himself in the art of scratching and mixing, to stumbling upon house music in the mid eighties at New York’s Hearthrob’s club and hearing this new, incredible music spun by a little known Louie Vegas.


Louie then went on to become an important friend and mentor to the young DJ who has since gone on to remix material for Masters At Work themselves, and more recently Louie’s Elements Of Life project, plus tracks for Jon Cutler, Stephanie Cook, Osunlade, The Braxtons and many more besides.


In 1990 he also was one of the first members of staff of hot new dance label Strictly Rhythm, from which this brief stint gave him the foundation to set up his new internet-based label, Ricanstruction. Frankie continues to remain committed to innovative and inspiring house music, releasing artist’s tracks through the site via affordable MP3 downloads, and encouraging producers all-consumed by technology and programming, to maintain an organic live element where possible.
