Frankie Bones
Frankie Bones (real name Frank Mitchell) is an American techno and house music disc jockey from New York City. He is best known for bringing the rave culture to the United States after playing at a hangar party in the United Kingdom during 1989.
Life
Frankie Bones, one of the founders of the New York and US techno scenes, got his first inspiration from his father's vast record collection after his father was murdered. Later on, after he had begun producing records, he was offered a gig to play for 5,000 people in England called "Energy" on the strength of his compositions. As the event started on August 26, 1989, the projected attendance had gone through the roof and Frankie played to 25,000 people while the sun came up.
Being profoundly moved by the experience, he brought it back to Brooklyn in the form of his series of Storm Raves. <ref name="Thump.Vice Magazine: How Frankie Bones' Storm Rave Birthed the "PLUR" Movement ">Wender, Dan (2015-05-13).
