Frankie Bones - Front to the Back

Review by Pontren Assalamah

Front to the Back by Frankie Bones: A Techno Odyssey That Sticks With You If you’re into beats that slap harder than your morning alarm, Front to the Back by Frankie Bones is worth a spin—or ten. Released in 2018 on Bangin Music (classic Frankie Bones territory), this album dives deep into electronica with flavors of techno, breaks, and tech house. It’s like someone took all the good stuff from late-night raves, threw it in a blender, and hit puree. The result? An energy-packed ride through soundscapes that’ll have your feet moving before your brain catches up. The tracklist reads like a remix lover's dream—seven versions of “Front to the Back,” each one giving its own twist to the original vibe. But let’s zoom in on two tracks that really stuck with me because, honestly, who has time for generic platitudes? First up, “Front To The Back (Cocodrills Remix)”—this one hits different. Cocodrills takes Frankie’s raw skeleton of a beat and dresses it up in neon spandex. There’s something about how the bassline growls while the hi-hats shuffle around like they’ve had too much coffee. Halfway through, there’s this breakdown that feels like stepping off a rollercoaster only to realize you’re still strapped in. It builds tension so well you almost forget where you are until BAM—it drops again, and suddenly you’re back in the groove. This remix doesn’t just play; it commands attention. Like, if I could bottle this feeling, I’d sell it as productivity juice. Then there’s “Front To The Back (Submerge Remix).” Oh man, this version goes full-on underwater vibes. Imagine being submerged in an ocean made entirely of synths—it’s both soothing and electrifying at the same time. Submerge strips things down but keeps the soul intact, letting the melody breathe without drowning in overproduction. Around the three-minute mark, some ethereal pads float in, and boom—you’re no longer listening to music; you’re living inside it. It’s perfect for those moments when you need to zone out but also kinda want to dance in place. Weird combo? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. What makes Front to the Back stand out isn’t just the variety—it’s how every remix respects the OG mix while adding its own personality. Frankie Bones knows his craft, and he lets collaborators run wild within his world. By the end of the album, you don’t feel like you’ve heard seven versions of the same song—you feel like you’ve been introduced to seven new friends who happen to share DNA. Here’s the kicker though: after spinning this album repeatedly, I started noticing how often I hummed bits of these tracks during random times—grocery shopping, waiting for my toast to pop, even brushing my teeth. And then it hit me: maybe Frankie Bones didn’t make an album. Maybe he hacked my brain and installed a permanent playlist. Either way, mission accomplished, dude. So yeah, give Front to the Back a shot. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or just looking for fresh fuel for your playlists, this one delivers. Just don’t blame me if you start dancing awkwardly in public.

About Frankie Bones

American DJ and producer, instrumental in popularising the Techno genre in Europe. Born In 1966 and brother of started DJing in Brooklyn NYC after working for 4 months at , in the pressing plant and in A&R for their label, . Big break in his career was when he became a DJ at "Energy" (The Eclipse) raves in the UK. "Frankie Bones is the most visible DJ and taste-maker of New York's independent techno scene during the 1980s and '90s, both through his nation-trotting club appearances and frenetic mix-album schedule (which approaches three per year). After five years of DJ appearances, Bones began producing as well in 1987, with as Musto & Bones. Their stellar remixes and tracks for Nu Groove Records made it the home of some of New York's hottest contemporary productions. In 1990, the pair released an album for RCA named The Future Is Ours, and the single "All I Want to Do Is Get Away" became a huge hit on dancefloors. Though he separated from soon after their LP, Bones' success gave him entry into the world of international DJing during the early '90s, and his remix work for and others led to a reputation as one of the preeminent house godfathers. He released almost a dozen CD's during the mid-to-late-'90s, including multiple volumes in the mix-album series Factory and Computer Controlled as well as his own production work on the 1998 house chronicle Technolo-G. These were followed a year later with a slew of EPs and singles from the New York native. Taking a more commercial path from his independent label Sonic Groove, Bones released the mix CD You Know My Name on Moonshine in November of 2000; a handful of other mix albums, along with a couple production-oriented projects, followed during the next several years. He has also recorded mixes for System, Instinct, and 611. His brother is also a high-profile DJ and producer." - John Bush, Rovi
