-Introduction:

DefectedからリリースされたThe MovementのワールドツアーがAIRで決定!!Stacy Kidd。これまで、Dusttraxx、Warner、Ministry of Sound and Sony等のメジャーレーベルから幅広くリリースを重ね、数多くのヒットチューンを世に送り出してきたハウスシーンの重要人物である。Derrick Carter、Mark Farinaに熱い支持を受け、さらにMAWファミリーの一員としてKenlouにトラックを提供。Tony Humphries、DJ Sneak、Frankie Knucklesらとも深い親交をもつなど、その人脈は輝かしい経歴を象徴するように幅広い。今回は、マイアミWMCでのギグを目前に控えた中での来日。ひときわ気持ちの入ったプレイを見せつけてくれるだろう.


Stacy Kidd:

Not many people know this, but Stacy Kidd's cousin is Paul Johnson. You know, the guy who made "Get Get Down," one of the biggest club hits of '99. Anyhow, while his cousin has made the big time, Kidd is still stomping around behind the scenes. An underground trooper you could call him. He has recorded for a plethora of well-respected labels, such as NYC's Yellorange, Chi-Town's Dancemania, the sadly defunct Cajual, London's ubiquitous Peacefrog, and the Dutch imprint After Midnight.

Kidd's style is unique. He blends retro disco samples with deep Chicago-house beats to perfection. He fuses uplifting, soulful vocal samples and time-honored disco licks with driving four-to-the-floor beats. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the Windy City listening to Mark Farina spin this to a club packed to the gills with sweaty clubbers.
