In the beginning, there was Frankie, and Frankie had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Frankie boldy declared,
"Let there be HOUSE!"
and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
Frankie, you are in our thoughts, our hearts and in the beats.... you live on forever x

A new share from the Haçienda in 1994 for you to enjoy. Tom Wainwright doing what he does best once again. definately not given as much exposure as his counter parts, Graeme Park, Jon da Silva and Mike Pickering, however I reckon he headlined pretty regularly around 1994 and 1995 focusing on the regular Haçienda Vocal US House and garage sound, yet he definately made the place his own. One of my most rated DJ's for sure.

A huge thanks to Stu W for the opportunity to own this set. You know it bro!

Tom Wainwright.... Gotta love Tom Wainwright. Consistently wicked in every set that I have and this is yet another example. Rocking Cream @ Nation in Liverpool back in the day. Good to still see him playing out too...

Graeme Park's set from the Haçienda Night at Cream Liverpool was one of the best I have heard from 1994. Great vocals and mixing soon established him as a firm favourite in Liverpool's superclub. The club attracted revellers from all over the North West and beyond with an excellent door policy, great atmosphere, die hard clubbers and a top DJ bills such as the one demonstrated on this night. The Haçienda DJ's rocked the house showing just how far reaching the influence was of this hallowed venue.... Manchester in the area.

The week before the birthday party and the Haçienda would be buzzing, who was going? where were tickets going spare, who was playing? along with those acting too cool to go but you knew they would be there... wtf!! too cool, what was that attitude about? Life's way too short for that shit! It was about the party not the attitude..... Where was I? This is the first tape of a double pack from the night. Pure uplifting vocal house and garage from the day - the perfect build up to the birthday celebrations to put us in the mood.
Parky used to label his sets as Tape X, Tape Y etc, and fortunately both will be on here in celebration of the Haçienda.. enjoy

Do you remember the screens at the side of the dance floor, avant-garde images, pop bites and porn?... I guess they had to make indie nights interesting... soon went when the house nights kicked in!! Sneakily though, I did enjoy watching them from the balcony with a can of red stripe!!

Possibly recorded at one of the Transform nights that took place during 1994, anymore information on this set would be welcome. A highly rated DJ whose style rocked the Haçienda in this classic set.
