# Stream: Cinthie honours Frankie Knuckles’ legacy with a fundraising DJ set
All proceeds go to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation
It's Frankie Knuckles Day! To honour The Godfather Of
House, [Cinthie][1] plays a Chicago house themed set, a [fundraiser
stream][2] in partnership with [SoSure Music][3] and the [Frankie
Knuckles Foundation][4], with all proceeds going to the charity.

The house DJ helming 3 house imprints -- 803 Crystal
Grooves, We\_R House, and Collective Cuts -- is playing in her
Friedrichshain-based record store Elevate from 6PM CEST.

"There is no set without a Frankie track. That has been
my thing for many years when I play in clubs. It's no surprise that I
was very sad when I heard about his way too early passing. And now I
feel very honoured to receive so much trust in remixing one of his
absolute classic tunes, that is 'The Whistle Song'," she told
*Electronic Beats*.
{: .p2}
In 2004, the city council of Chicago declared August
25th to be Frankie Knuckles Day, a time to celebrate the legacy of one
of dance music's beloved pioneers. Spearheaded by Knuckles until his
tragic passing in March 2014, The Frankie Knuckles Foundation focuses on
music in schools, LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, AIDS research and
prevention, as well as diabetes research and education.
