Knuckles used his own remixes of old disco records on reel-to-reel tape recorders; he sampled original Salsoul and Philadephia International recordings and mixed in other rhythm tracks and occasionally drum-machine rhythms he programmed himself. Patrons who heard him called his sound house music after the Warehouse club name. In 1982 he established the Power Plant, where he continued to develop house music.
