Ron Trent - RT Sound Factor - Tribute To The Memory Of Frankie Knuckles - 7th Heaven - ELECTRIC BLUE

The sad passing of Frankie Knuckles hit many people hard, not least fellow Chicago legend Ron Trent. The Prescription Records co-founder and all-round deep house legend has previously spoken about how he owes his career to the one-time Warehouse resident and here pays tribute to him in musical form. "7th Heaven" is as warm, loving and emotion-rich as you'd expect, with Trent layering his trademark keys, pads and melodies over a classic, Knuckles-style groove. It's the kind of wide-eyed loveliness that Knuckles himself would have been proud of making, and there's no greater tribute than that. Real House with Soul for the machines that make you move.
