Pioneers Of House

"House is always going to be here. There is always going to be some form of underground dance music. It's not going to snuff out. People will always have a need to express themselves. I get a really spiritual vibe from what I do. With the right beat, the right flow, I get a hypnotic feeling from the music I produce.” DJ Pierre

Flying over from the US for a very rare appearance, DJ Pierre is the Chicago DJ lauded as one of the founding fathers of acid house. He was responsible for the 1987 Trax Records classic ‘Acid Tracks’ - an 11-minute experiment with a Roland TB-303 that is often considered the first-ever acid house cut. He'll be keeping it old school and squelchy all night long with his definitive take on acid and house music. Check out his last London set: 

Marshall Jefferson is, the man who created Move Your Body (House Music Anthem), and many of Chicago’s original house music club hits, including ‘Open Your Eyes’. As chief A&R for Chicago’s incredible Trax Records, he produced ‘Acid Trax’ for DJ Pierre and the Phuture trio and masterminded the career of Ten City, producing their classic hits ‘Right Back To You’, ‘That’s The Way Love Is’ and ‘Devotion’. Steve ‘Silk” Hurley, who completes the legendary Chicago trio, the producer of two of House music’s earliest International hits, ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ and ‘Jack Your Body’, Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley has notched up numerous anthems with Jamie Principle, Roberta Flack (‘Uh Uh Ooh Ooh Look Out (Here It Comes)’) and Tina Moore’s UK garage smash, ‘Never Gonna Let You Go’. Now teamed up with fellow Windy City producer, DJ Skip, their tag team sets are the toast of Chicago’s club scene right now, as well as touring their sets in South Africa, Slovenia and Las Vegas’ “Chateau/Bazaar” events.
