обязан своим первым опытом за вертушками именно DJ Pierre…
Back in the day when acid was just a tab, DJ Pierre was holed up in his
bedroom inventing a sound which would impact on the music scene forever.
In 1986, 'acid house' was in its infancy when DJ Pierre picked up a
303 and the infamous “Acid Tracks” was born.
Not many artists in the history of dance music can list Carl Cox, Diesel
(X-Press 2), Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Michael Mayer (Kompakt
Records), and Tom Stephan as fans. Not many can claim responsibility
for helping kick start the careers of Felix Da Housecat and Roy Davis
Jr. Not many can lay claim to giving birth to a genre and pioneering a
sound that had the whole world dancing and imitating for over fifteen
years. DJ/Producer/Remixer, Nathaniel Pierre Jones AKA DJ ‘Wildpitch’
Pierre is a rare breed. An artist who’s considered a mentor to many of
the ‘A’ list DJ fraternity, old and new, and one man who continues to
stand strong in an industry that’s had its ups ‘n’ downs.
From the days of ‘Phuture’, Pierre’s highly successful guise with fellow
squelchers Spanky and Herb J – and their epic release ‘Acid Trax’, to
his biggest hit ‘The Horn Song’, featuring Barbara Tucker, his solo
projects with David Morales, Felix Da Housecat and his stint as Head of
A&R at Strictly Rhythm, DJ Pierre is a force to be reckoned with.
After a bit of a break to get prepped for Dj Pierre's Afro Acid
Project’, his very first artist album, DJ Pierre is back and ready to
show the world just why house music was worth shouting about in the
first place.
With a new management team behind him, Zoo Management, the company
responsible for housing talent such as Masters at Work and Jazzy Jeff, a
new distribution deal ‘S12/Simply Vinyl’ for his very own DJP Records –
and gig requests from every corner of the globe, including the infamous
Mysteryland Tour in Holland, DJ Pierre is firmly back on the map. "I feel a renewed sense of direction in my career. I've never had so
many positive things in place at one time like I do now. With Zoo
management, and S12 behind me as the distributor of DJP Records, I can
be hands off enough to create and make the music I love. I am very
excited about being head of my own label (DJP) and the opportunity to
make my first full album. I am humbled by what's happening." – DJ
Pierre.
DJ Pierre’s ‘Afro Acid Project’ will explore all sorts of styles and
sounds, playing homage to his acid roots, whilst showing his innovative
perspective on music today.
