  2. ANALOG RADIO - THURSDAY, OCT 1, 2026 - POWERED BY INSOMNIAC

    Every Thursday night I produce a one hour show for insomniac on Analog Radio. This one was special because the entire program was my own productions and remixes. It is layers upon layers of genres with no specifics, 40 years of recycled loops. The same concept of Bonesbreaks which took Techno,...

  3. PARTICLE ACCELERATOR (THE UNDERGROUND SOUND OF NEW YORK 1980-2026)

    This needs an explanation a.s.a.p. But for now I need your help in that. Leave a comment. This is a 47 year run of the records I've bought in NYC broken down from 33 1/3 & 45 RPM, regrinded down to particles and thrown at light speed into the accelerator. The music of the streets in historical...

  16. BATTLE SCRATCH

    Battle Scratch. Bonesbreaks style.

  17. TAKE ME TO BURNING MAN

    Based on "Take Me To Church" by Billy Kenny, I somehow figured out what the true sound of Burning Man should be. And came up with a dusty & trippy breaks joint which is quite fitting.

  18. DON'T YOU WANT SOME MORE / PUFFIN BILLY / BONESBREAKS MASTERMIX

    Puffin Billy damn it...LOL...my man Billy Bunter as it goes, we are walking in Hackney, 2018. His Missus and mine, 2018 again, she comes running up with a newspaper from 1935, in tact, "Da fuq"? Apparently there was a bunch of them coming from a building under renovation. we all had a great night...

  19. DEDICATED

    I'm dedicated. One listen and it becomes clear.

  20. NO ONE TAKES ME / BONESBREAKS

    Bonesbreaks - Ultimate Underground Party Breaks.

  21. GET DOWN / PAUL JOHNSON / FRANKIE BONES TRIBUTE

    My tribute mix for our fallen soldier, a man like Paul Johnson. That being said this version was created a year ago right after his untimely passing. Last August we brought Bad Boy Bill out, Smooth Groove for Magestic Groove. BBB closed out with Paul's original and I gave respects and started my...

  22. UNDERGROUND BREAKDOWN 7 - THE BREAK BOYS

    The Break Boys is my long time alter-ego from way back in 1988.

  23. TRESOR.WEST DORTMUND / DJ FRANKIE BONES / JULY 2, 2022

    tresor.west in Dortmund is a 3 1/2 hour train ride from Berlin. On arrival I was informed that I was playing in their House room which was kind of unexpected. You go to Germany with Techno on your mind and to be completely transparent & honest, most DJ's in this situation would fold. I have my...

  24. TRESOR.BERLIN / DJ FRANKIE BONES / JULY 1, 2022

    TRESOR.BERLIN / DJ FRANKIE BONES / JULY 1, 2022 - First things first, it was great to be able to fly to Berlin to play Tresor after the Covid-19 outbreak & lockdown of 2020/2021. It's been three years for me not being in Europe. My last European gig was at Tresor in 2019. I've been through it all...

  25. I BELIEVE_I BELIEVE

    I Believe_I Believe. Just hours before my flight to Los Angeles, I come out with something perfect for Technostate.

  26. THE SOUND / KEVIN SAUNDERSON / THE FRANKIE BONES REDUX

    Riding a perfect parallel between 1988 and 2022, the early KMS classic "The Sound" gets a redux. Could be a Remix, I'm going with Redux simply because I wasn't taking it serious while making it. I didn't set out to do a remix, just kind of happened.

  27. DESTROY HIM MY ROBOTS / ANTHONY ROTHER / FRANKIE BONES REMIX

    I listened to a bunch of people's Soundcloud pages today. Since my own page is filled with tracks that don't actually exist anywhere else but inside my head & Soundcloud itself, of course it gives me an advantage, I really don't have an objective here. It's like watching the world go by with no...

  28. SHAKE WHAT YOUR MOMMA GAVE YA / DJ DEEON VS. FRANKIE BONES

    I would imagine if I saw a ghost, I too would scream and run straight to the cops. Problem with that is that most ghosts I know have that invisible flair. So while I am pointing at thin air getting dismissed by local law enforcement, Maybe just dance. The original Chicago ghetto master DJ DEEON...

  29. HEAL ME / FRANKIE BONES

    Heal Me is dedicated to all the people who have been going through some bad moments but are doing what they need to do to create good moments.

  30. WORK THAT MUTHA F*CKER / STEVE POINDEXTER / BONES GHETTO TECHNICS

    They only get better over time. The 1988 "Work That Mutha F*cker" pancaked with the flipside "Computer Madness" and then given a Brooklyn Rinse for good measure. Everything sits right with this one because it's not taken out of context which is a problem with remixes these days.

  31. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF DJ FRANKIE BONES ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL (VOLUME 3)

    Crazy Combos.

  32. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF DJ FRANKIE BONES ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL (VOLUME #2)

    Donna oh Donna. I got some Gucci Shoes, I'm on the move.

  33. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF FRANKIE BONES ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL (VOLUME #1)

    I have been staying in my own lane, doing my own thing, and trying to make my DJ sets a little more than what anyone would expect.

  34. RED PILL - DAVID TEE (BONESBREAKS)

    Alternate Bonesbreaks Version adapted by the David Tee version of "Red Pill".

  35. COME TALK 2 ME / BONESBREAKS

    The Pilots Glory is a weird phenomena I only witnessed once back in 2013 on a flight to Chicago. It was around the time when I first figured out the multiverse. Way before the Spider-Man movies. But I only really understood this multiverse through genres of music. And even still with that, it…

  36. ILLEGAL BUSINESS TECHNO

    Techno ain't what it used to be. Or is it? Depends who you ask. My brother mentions in the book "Join The Future" that the music I brought home with me when I first played in the U.K. was indeed British Bass Music they called "Bleep Techno." And we were first followed by The Canadians and then...

  40. PLANET ROCK 40 YEAR TRIBUTE MIX / APRIL 17, 1982 /2022

    Just for the fact that I am putting this up 40 years later to the actual release date and that I can remember being at Skate Key in The Bronx on April 17, 1982. Go ahead, look up the date, it was a Saturday Night adult skate session when Skate Key was on White Plains Road. Afrika Bambaataa & The...

  41. THEY WILL COME & THEY WILL GO / BONESBREAKS

    They will come & They will go. Everything is temporary.

  42. VORTEX 150 / SPECIAL REQUEST / BONESBREAKS

    Special Request is one of the best producers in the game. The Bonesbreaks version of Vortex 150 strips it down to the basic beats to create something new & fun.

  43. YOU WILL NEVER (BONUS) / FRANKLIN SQUARED

    Freaky Frank & Frankie Bones come together with Franklin Squared. You Will Never (Bonus) is a Sunny Day, at the beach or the park. House Music for 2022, you will be surprised with this one.

  44. TECHNO THURSDAY'S - 1991 ORIGINAL - B-91 WKRB. FRANKIE BONES

    This is the original B-91 WKRB FM radio show called Techno Thursday's show I hosted from 1989-1991. The recording is from a cassette so the quality is not the best. But it is from Thanksgiving in 1991.

  46. MCA DAY (BEASTIE BOYS TRIBUTE) - 8.08.15 - RAW TRACKS (UNMIXED)

    READ THIS!!!!! MCA DAY - 8.08.15 - Rob Gee and I were very excited about this and thankful we could take part in this tribute to The Beastie Boys. Many friends were curious to hear what we were going to play. The venue couldn't handle the amount of people that "Turnt" up. The organizers of MCA…
