Frankie Bones

Frankie "Bones" Mitchell is a prominent figure in the development of dance music in the United States, widely regarded as the “Godfather of American Rave Culture.” Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bones played a major

role in shaping New York City’s underground party scene, particularly within the Techno genre. He began his career in the early 1980s, DJing at clubs and parties throughout New York and New Jersey.

Bones gained international recognition after organizing the first outdoor dance music parties in the U.S., known as Storm Rave, which took place in locations such as Williamsburg, Coney Island, and Plumb Beach. Over the course of his career, he has produced, remixed, and released numerous tracks, albums, EPs, and mixtapes. He has also performed at major music festivals around the world, including the Love Parade in Berlin and Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC).

Frankie Bones remains an influential figure within the dance music community and continues to be active as a performer, producer, and author. He is represented globally by Southfirst (S1).

Frankie 'Bones' Mitchell grew up in Brooklyn, New York. At 10 years old, he began roller skating at the Sheepshead Bay Roll-A-Palace, a family-friendly roller disco rink featuring live DJs (including a 17-year-old Lenny Dee).

Just before Frankie graduated high school, his father was murdered. The death radically changed Frankie's life, and he inherited his father's entire vinyl record collection. He began spinning records in 1981 and he began to produce house tracks with Lenny Dee.[when?]

His brother, Adam "X" Mitchell, is also a techno DJ and producer, and their colleague Heather Heart is a DJ and music writer/zine maker who helped create the community for underground techno music in New York and beyond. Bones, Adam X, Heather Heart and others are associated with the record label Sonic Groove. The three co-owned a record store with the same name at 41 Carmine St in New York City, where it had relocated to from a Brooklyn location in 1995. The shop closed in 2004.

After he had begun producing records, Bones was offered a gig to play for 5,000 people in England called "Energy". As the event started on August 26, 1989, he played to the unexpected number of 25,000 people.
