Graham Knox Frazier Daytime Emmy's Winner

Knox has had a love affair with music from a very early age. 

Turn the Beat Around blasted on his father’s 67 Mustang convertible in the late 70’s and that infectious sound hooked him right from the start. He would listen to WKTU dance party before he even turned 10. When he discovered rollerskating in NYC’s Village Skates and The ROXY, his love for DJing began.

Living in NYC’s West Village, just walking distance from The ROXY and The Palladium and The Limelight and The Tunnel, and dozens of NYC clubs, be spent most night’s of his youth clubbing in all the great venues of the 80’s and 90’s.

Having picked up his first pair of turntables at age 12, he began his journey mixing music. 

It’ started with hip hop and eventually progressed to house music. Playing parties in high School and College, he found himself as a music consultant / DJ for NYC’s fashion elite, playing music for Bryant Park fashion shows and private parties for NYC’s rich and powerful, never forgetting the party for Penthouse owner Bob Guccione, in his private double brownstone house on the

upper east side. He also played at The Supper Club, Tattoo, The Hayden Planetarium, Maxines, and Doubles, a private supper club for New York’s elite, in the basement of the Sherry Netherlands Hotel.

During these times he met John Mateo and Eddie Matos of Mateo & Matos, who showed him the ropes on house music production, down and dirty, NY style. He soon built his studio with an Akai s950, sampled the movie, Car Wash 

( The Sound Track) and sold his first EP to Todd Terry on TNT/ Freeze Gone Dig This EP - Graham Knox Frazier presents Deep Peeple Project, using the sample, 

“I know you gonna dig this”, that has been sampled many times to this day.

It’s has been a long 30 years as a producer and 40 as a DJ, mostly in NYC.

 As Knox, started in 2012, to reboot his brand, he started his own imprint to release his music is stores like Traxsource and Beatport. Now with over 200 releases to his name, he has also released music on an impressive list of underground house music labels that include King Street Sounds,

Armada Records, Dopewax Records, Quantize Recordings, Good For You Records, Phoenix Music, Phoenix Soul, Grin Music, Carillo Music, Anticodon, Jakdat, Groovy Riddems, Mood Funk Records, 4th Set, Mange Le Funk, For Blimey Records, Bob’s Your uncle Records, Soul Revolution, Juiced Music, Ohmelya Records, Dutch Music, and many more as well as his own

imprint KHM. 

Most noted was the King Street release, a remake of Jackie Morre and Ohio

Player’s “This Time Baby” a classic disco anthem closes to my heart, with vocals by Agency, a duo that combines the production of Joseph Vitterito and Darren Day, son of the infamous Morris Day from Morris Day and the Times. 

The track was rerecorded with his vocals in 2021 after the original vocalist decided not to release the track back in 2019. 

Scott Wozniacki and I produced the music in the summer of 2019, then I dusted it off, added Darren and shopped it to King Street. Before I shopped it, I had DJ Passion, Jo Pacciello and Tony Fuel make remixes.

King sStreet picked it up in January and we had a long wait until it’s release. While we waited, I made my Rhodes Remix, had True2life, Rissa Garcia and Tonis also work their magic. That was also signed as a follow up release. The musical miracle happened a year after it’s first release when Armada Records owner Armen Van Burren and his company iBeat Fund began to buy out record catalogs. 

Their first purchase was The Legendary King Street Sounds. The

timing could not have been better, as on of the first released under the new King Street Stones was a new 8 track double EP released under the new company, along with my single that was on an Armada Music compilation with other house legends like Mood II Swing, Harry Romero, Ultra Nate and many others, as well and a rerelease on a King Street Compilation, Best of King

Street PT 1, with Louie Vega, Dennis Ferrer, Barbara Tucker, Kerri Chandler, Guri Guri Boys and others.

He has done remixes for the likes of Ralphie Rosario, Ron Carroll, Agency, and has has remixes of is music by Demarcus Lewis, DJ Passion, Rissa Garcia, True2Life, Joe Pacciello, Chico Flash, and others. He is also proud of appearing on some huge playlist on Spotify from Armada Records and King Street Sounds with other Gods of the house music industry that will solidify Knox os a great producer, among the world’s elite. 

Aaron K Gray was his first breakout

vocal with Hallelujah, then Thankful and a few others. Since Aaron he has done tracks for such vocalists as Dawn Tallman, Dawn Williams, Agency, Andrea Love, Tiffany Bynoe, and many other talented vocalists. 

As well as all the production work, he has had radio residencies at D3EP and Data Transmission Radio. It has been a will ride navigating the currents of the

underground house scene, but the joy truly comes from making something out of nothing and to know the there are people in the world listening and connecting. 

Perhaps another reboot is coming in 2025, there is still so much work to do nd so little time.
