The Nightwriters

The Nightwriters was an alias for one of the founding fathers of house DJ-ing, Frankie Knuckles. Frankie Knuckles was born and raised in the Bronx, NY City and started his DJ career in 1977 - 1982 at the Warehouse.. It is widely accepted that his style of DJing and his selection and the appeal of the Warehouse gave house music its name, although in the beginning, the word 'house' was used only in Chicago to denote something which was cool, hip, fresh or bad.
