Music : Soulful House, Deep House, Old Skool House and Acid House
Call him Phuture, Pierre's Pfantasy Club, Phortune, Phuture Phantasy Club, The Don, Photon Inc, Nat “Jammin Jones”, Scratching Pierre,The Creator, DJ Pierre is a Legend, Pioneer, Innovative, Timeless, Genius…they all apply. Flying over from the US for a very rare appearance on this sceptred isle 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 here youtube.com
Marshall Jefferson is also a giant of House Music, the man who created “Move Your Body (House Music Anthem)”, and many of Chicago’s original house music club hits, including "Open Your Eyes," and under aliases’ Hercules' "Lost in the Groove," Jungle Wonz's "The Jungle" and Kevin Irvine's "Ride the Rhythm". 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”. Marshall joins DJ Pierre for an incredible ‘journey thru house music’ set in the Main Room alongside 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.
This special one-off warehouse style party encapsulates the raw style of Chicago house music with Afro Acid’s DJ Pierre, Marshall Jefferson and Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley & DJ Skip with the driving and diverse sounds of today’s House music as underpinned by Tom Stephan (Superchumbo); Bart B More (Boys Noize Record) plus UK house DJ dons & producers, Aaron Ross (Fanatix) and Booker T (Kings Of Soul).
