Frankie Knuckles' music is to be celebrated with a compilation CD called 'House Masters: Frankie Knuckles'. Frankie had begun the selection process in February 2014, picking the tracks and remixes for the album contents before he passed away.

It'll arrive on April 26 via Defected Records, available digitally and on a two disc CD. The charity release will see all profits going to the Frankie Knuckles Fund which operates in partnership with the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

"This is a great mixture of Frankie's work," says Sir Elton John. "His artistry will always be at the forefront of dance music and so will his energy."
