Frankie Knuckles & Eric Kupper
The Director’s Cut Collection
FKF 3903 – 2 LP compilation of house bangers

There are few people across the globe, who will have not been touched by the work of Frankie Knuckles. Forever regarded as The Godfather of House for his un-rivalled contribution to the house music we know today; what started as an underground movement in Chicago has grown to international heights thanks to Frankie.Five years ago, Frankie passed away in Chicago on 31st March 2014 leaving behind one of the greatest house music legacies spanning almost four decades. Now he is commemorated by long time writing and production partner Eric Kupper. Having both worked together for many years they established themselves at Directors Cut from 2011 and set about producing original releases and remixes based on the classic Def Mix sound while sharing equal credits for their creations.Together they re-produced and re-purpose classic cuts for modern dancefloors, with reworks including tracks from Marshall Jefferson, Ashford & Simpson, Artful & Ridney and The Sunburst Band, alongside Frankie Knuckles originals. These releases have now been brought together by Eric to feature on special album called The Directors Cut Collection on SoSure Music. It includes the Directors Cut reworks of Frankies classic cuts such as Your Love and Take You There with Jamie Principle, alongside Frankies first #1 single – The Whistle Song on which Eric shares writing credits. Within a multitude of classic reworks, highlights include a previously unreleased version of Ashford & Simpsons Bourgie Bourgie and a huge Directors Cut Retro Signature mix of Marshall Jeffersons The House Music Anthem (Move Your Body) featuring Curtis McClain.
The Directors Cut Collection is a fitting tribute to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Frankies passing whilst giving Eric a platform to tell his side of the creative story. This album is to be released in collaboration with The Frankie Knuckles Foundation who work to continuing Frankies legacy well into the future.
