DiscoHouseRhythm and blues

Frankie Knuckles is a Disco and House act. Their catalogue also touches Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Full Intention, Marshall Jefferson, Shapeshifters, Milk & Sugar and The Shapeshifters. Those roots explain a lot about how Frankie Knuckles arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Joe Smooth, Cajmere, Crystal Waters, Kerri Chandler and Armand van Helden, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Satoshi Tomiie, DJ Pierre, Rhythim Is Rhythim, David Morales and You Got the Love, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around Frankie Knuckles, reaching back through Full Intention and forward to Satoshi Tomiie.
