0:00:32 > 0:00:34Thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38You are my god. My inspiration, my everything.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42He's on a different level, how he listens to and plays records.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I think he's very special. Because no other DJ can do that.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50I don't know whether he was honing his talents in another direction,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54but he disappeared from the scene completely. It was depressing.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58He's probably down in South America, still hanging out.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Probably trying to snort up one of the countries.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I don't know, he's just... I like to think he's still out there.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47I'm a bit of the Imelda Marcos of the flip-flop world.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Flip-flop is, for me, it's perfection.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54And sometimes if I'm stuck and I can't mix, I can't...
0:01:54 > 0:01:57You know, I'm a creative person. I'm an artist.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Sometimes I just stare at a flip-flop for hours.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I'm not joking. I'm being serious. - Really?- Yes, I do.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Recently, you've been married, so how is it now be an husband?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- An "ass band"? - An husband.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Oh, husband.- Husband. - A husband. Yeah, it's very nice.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- It's what I've... (AEROPLANE APPROACHES)- Say hello!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I'm sitting across from Frankie Wilde. How are you, Frankie?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Alright, Pete.- 11 years in Ibiza playing some of the best clubs.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- How do you feel about it this year? - What, mate?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09It's your 11th year playing in Ibiza. You must be thrilled.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It's been fucking hot, innit, here, the last week? Cor!
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I mean, think about... You're old.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Like me, you're an old geezer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Remember that Martini campaign in the 70s?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Martini is... dot, dot, dot, dot. Remember that?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36When I was a kid, that wound me up, man, big time.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Is what? What the fuck is it? What the fuck is Martini?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45But I was young, and I didn't really understand.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And now I'm mature.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And I've lived 38 years,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and I can confidently say,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Ibiza is... dot, dot, dot, dot.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Know what I mean? That's really nice.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's nice to be able to feel that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08There's spunk everywhere on this island. Everyone's done it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12They've been free with it. They haven't done it to make babies.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15They've fucking swung out and spun a bit out.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's hit a plant, and that's grown.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Wall, and there's vines and ivy and shit. It's all spunk.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Look at this lot out here. Look at them. They all love it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30They fucking love it. Oi! Who out there likes to fucking party?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- (ALL) Yeah! - I can't hear you!

0:06:50 > 0:06:52'Frankie was one of the best.'
0:06:52 > 0:06:56'He had his very own style, his own momentum with the crowd.'
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I don't think anyone else did it his way.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05He's a showman as much as he is a musician.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'He controlled the crowd musically and physically.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:14'He was a born natural behind the turntable. There's no doubt.'
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I was jealous of that. I always had to try a bit harder.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17getting all the attention he needed. Then he met Max.'
0:08:17 > 0:08:21No. Hey, tell him it's like a wasp just stung my clit, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I don't give a fuck if he's religious. Tell him.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Fuck him. Bye. Anyway...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28A bit of a tosser. Not my sort of person,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but absolutely took him to the next level.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33(BOTH GIGGLE)

0:08:43 > 0:08:46'Max first brought Frankie to my attention.'
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'I knew he had what it took behind the decks.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It turned out that Frankie really understood
0:08:52 > 0:08:56the music production side. Knew his way around a studio.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Oi! Do you think we're making a jazz album?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I was in the middle of going all the fucking way.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Should we swap them over for some brushes? A little... Yeah?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Start fucking hitting those drums. Start banging those drums
0:09:13 > 0:09:17like you bang your fucking sister! Clear, Siegfried?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22That's, erm, that's the first one.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So I signed him straight away.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30And Frankie delivered.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32# "Rise Again" - Frankie Wilde
0:09:36 > 0:09:40'It was massive. It came out of car windows, in the supermarket.'
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Even my grandmother would whistle that tune
0:09:43 > 0:09:46when I went to see her in the nursing home.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15'Frankie met Sonya when they were on the video shoot to Rise Again.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Oh, man. Everybody knew she'd been about. But he seemed to like that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I mean, that was his thing. You know, I mean, even I'd had a go.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3515-love.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41You know how Paul Newman's got his salad dressings and that?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- So, why not Frankie Wilde hummus? - That's a good idea, Frankie.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49People come to the gigs and say, "Fuck, great set, Frankie."
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'll say, "Cheers. Want some hummus?"
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- You know, just as a thing. - Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Quite a good name for an album. - How's that?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Frankie Wilde, Hummus.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- What, call my album Hummus? - Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- I don't think so.- I've got good ideas. You should listen to me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10If I've got a hummus brand and my album's called Hummus,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- it's getting a bit much. - It's a good name.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- And change my name to Frankie Hummus? - No, it sounds good. Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21'People tolerated her because she was Frankie's wife,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23partying with everyone else.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I didn't like her. I didn't think she was good for him.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- I fucking hate you. - I fucking hate you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And did I fuck her? Ohh! (CHUCKLES)
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Whoo!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Yeah, I fucked her. (CHUCKLES)
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Legend has it that Frank's problems started quite undramatically.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49The simplest thing kicked it off.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Years and years of noise was the basis of the problem.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56'But the very beginnings of it, in his life, started very plainly.'

1:13:35 > 1:13:39Frankie, can you really DJ as a deaf man? How is that possible?
1:13:40 > 1:13:44- (ALL MURMUR) - They murmuring?- Yeah, quite a bit.
1:13:44 > 1:13:47I'm an honest man. I can tell you
1:13:47 > 1:13:49that this album was made...
1:13:51 > 1:13:54..completely without the aid of me ears.
1:13:54 > 1:13:56And at Pacha next week,
1:13:56 > 1:13:59I'll be DJing as a deaf man.
1:13:59 > 1:14:03And if you don't believe me,...
1:14:04 > 1:14:06you know, fuck you.
1:14:06 > 1:14:09Because I've got nothing,
1:14:09 > 1:14:12nothing to prove
1:14:12 > 1:14:16- to you sluts at all. - OK. OK.- (ALL GROAN)
1:14:16 > 1:14:18Role model.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21- Nothing. - Wait a minute. OK, role model.
1:14:21 > 1:14:23Listen. Listen to me. No. No.
1:14:23 > 1:14:26He loves sluts. Frank loves sluts.
1:14:26 > 1:14:29Now, I think what he's trying to say is,
1:14:29 > 1:14:33even though he feels he has nothing to prove to you,
1:14:33 > 1:14:38he'd be happy to prove, erm, anything you want, to you.
1:14:38 > 1:14:41It's important that we all realise
1:14:41 > 1:14:44that this is a major comeback from a rock.
1:14:44 > 1:14:48You know, what he's accomplished in the last few months is astonishing.
1:14:48 > 1:14:52He'll be at the Pacha nightclub. You can come down
1:14:52 > 1:14:57and watch him mix yourself. And watch the miracle happen, OK?
1:14:57 > 1:15:01Because, you know, I realise that there are doubters in this room,
1:15:01 > 1:15:03which fucks me up.
1:15:03 > 1:15:07Because, you know, why would someone pretend to be deaf?
1:15:07 > 1:15:09I mean, that's retarded.
1:15:09 > 1:15:12It's not like he's fucking benefiting from this.
1:15:12 > 1:15:15It's a fucking obstacle.
1:15:15 > 1:15:18He can't hear. Your mom's a cunt. Nothing. Zero. Blank.
1:15:18 > 1:15:21This man, what he's done, fucking...
1:15:21 > 1:15:24It gets me in my fucking heart, what he's done.
1:15:24 > 1:15:28And you, you come down here, and you put on this big fucking show
1:15:28 > 1:15:32- like he's gonna make shit up! - Hey, hey, hey. Relax. Relax, man.

1:15:56 > 1:15:58- Frankie Wilde, good luck. - Good luck.
1:15:58 > 1:16:01I think that guy is so fantastic.
