CNYD present the first in a series of events celebrating the musical output of the three American cities arguably most influential in the birth and development of dance music as it stands today; Chicago, New York and Detroit. Manchester venues Sound Control and The Attic combine to host performances from an exciting line-up of DJs and live performers from each city.
C is for Chicago:
The progression of disco music, through the incorporation of synthesized beats and electronic music from Europe in the Chicago clubs of the 80s sparked the creation of a completely fresh and raw musical genre: House music. Taking its name from the city's famed Warehouse club House mutated further into the sub genres of Acid and Jackin' and beyond. Representing the music of Chicago are legendary performer Robert Owens of Fingers Inc and fresh new DJ/Producer Tevo Howard.
Robert Owens' voice is one of the most recognisable in House Music. His collaborations with Larry Heard as Fingers Inc, such as ‘Bring Down the Walls' and ‘I'm Strong' back in 1986 – 1987 and later with Frankie Knuckles and Satoshi Tomiie's epic ‘Tears' are timeless classics. Robert is still prolifically involved in new house music after 24 years in the business and is set to perform a selection of his best songs as well as a rare DJ set.
Tevo Howard is an exciting prospect who has recently burst onto the scene with a slew of awesome releases which encapsulate the raw spirit of Chicago House. Chicago's hottest new export brings a slice of his city to Manchester with a unique live set featuring analog drum machines and plenty of reasons to jack.
NY is for New York:
From the block parties of the South Bronx to the ground breaking nightclubs of Manhattan and Jersey, New York gave us Hip Hop, Disco and the Soulful Garage sounds of the 1990s. This heady mix of styles, tempos and cultures make the city's musical output one of the most influential and important on the planet. Representing New York are the residents from the city's biggest and most established club nights, Danny Krivit (718 Sessions and Body & Soul), and Timmy Regisford (Shelter).
Danny Krivit was a regular at seminal NYC clubs such as the Loft, the Paradise Garage and the Gallery, forging friendships with influential and now legendary DJs Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Francois K, Nicky Siano and other such pioneers of dance music. He's been DJ'ing worldwide ever since and still does it better than most.
Timmy Regisford has earned the well deserved moniker of ‘the Maestro' in New York because of his marathon sets at one of the cities longest running and most revered nights; Shelter. As well as a DJ career spanning over 25 years, he's also held down A&R roles at Atlantic, Motown and Dreamworks.
D is for Detroit
In the late 80s in America's most industrial city and the home of Motown records, soul music met technological experimentation and Techno music was created. From the earliest sonic innovations using the famous synthesizers and drum machines of that era, the motor city's underground music provided the basis for today's proliferation of electronic dance music across the globe. Representing Detroit are two of its finest producers and DJs, Stacey Pullen and Rolando.
Stacey Pullen is an innovator from the Second Wave of Detroit techno who grew up under the mentorship of Detroit's legendary three: Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. He's been DJ'ing since 1985 and is still producing the finest techno and playing across the globe to this day.
Rolando grew up in the 1970's in the Hispanic District in southwest Detroit, where he was heavily influenced by his cultural Latin rhythms and percussion. This influence is prominent in his ground breaking techno records such as ‘Knights of the Jaguar' which turned perceptions of techno on their head.
Chicago: NewYork: Detroit takes place at two of Manchester's finest and most respected underground clubs, situated side-by-side under the railway arches of New Wakefield Street. The stage is set for the meeting of underground dance music's finest minds. CNYD part one. Manchester 27/08/2010
