He continued and mentioned the impact that the Chicago’s dance music scene had on his career and how “the biggest pioneer was Frankie Knuckles.” As he moved into playing records inspired by Frankie, a visual in memoriam could be seen on the booth’s screen, reading “Frankie Knuckles, 1955 – 2014, Thank You”.
