Matt Tolfrey gave Tobacco Docks a huge surprise when he played Jimmy Edgar’s remix of Baby Wants To Ride.

Jimmy gave his respects to Frankie by releasing this bomb as a free number and this what he had to say on the track.

“Frankie Knuckles was the most pivotal figure in this movement, for me. The first time I had heard ‘Baby Wants To Ride’, it really moved me. The way the dot matrix synths moved in seemingly Euclidian patterns, the bounce and slight swing of that bass line, and the way the dissonant chords tied it all together. One listen and you can see where I drew all my inspiration from when making my tune from 2006, ‘Hot, Raw, Sex’. Let’s just say that record would have been a lot different without Frankie K.

Frankie still having an influence even after death, let his music live on!
