TOKYOの目まぐるしく動くCLUBシーンの中でマイペースな活動ながらも、オリジナリティー溢れるパーティーを構築し続けているニュースクールハウスパーティー 『bein』が渋谷のど真ん中に位置する"LA FABRIQUE"へ場所を移し2周年を華々しく迎える。
2周年となる今回はAdult Only、Catwash Records主宰、フレンチクラブシーンの最重要人物Chris Carrierを招集。
彼の手がけた楽曲は近年、ループハウスやモダンハウスと言われるジャンルとリンクしつつ、多くの要素を含んだグルーヴィーなハウスミュージックを世に送り出している、その楽曲達は、自身のレーベルの他にもRobsoul Recordings、Welcome to Masomenos、Get Physical Music、Freak n' Chic、Sushitech、ekloなど多くの良質レーベルからリリースされ、様々なアーティストから賞賛を受けている、そんな彼が満を持して日本初来日を果たす。
他にもOrganza、TRES VIBES主宰、ヨーロッパツアーも大成功に納めたDJ PI-GE、2005年に『究極のリスニング空間』をテーマに掲げたミュージックレーベルとしてスタートした『Timothy Really』からZUYACK、この2人の貴重なB2Bでの出演も決定。他では見られない二人の化学反応に多いに期待したい。またBIGクラブでの PLAYやSupplementalからのリリースなどで注目を浴びているbeinレジデントDJ達はbein crewとして全員で阿吽の呼吸でのDJ PLAYを披露まさに2周年を飾るに相応しい1夜になるだろう。
There are two kinds of DJs: those whose goal is to make a name for themselves and those whose goal is to make
music ? and let the rest follow. Parisian Chris Carrier is among the latter. For more than a dozen years he’s been an
underground icon, churning out more than one hundred records and remixes for a host of labels. Too busy working to chase
a spot in the limelight, Carrier is nevertheless rightly revered as one of the most gifted, prolific producers on the dance scene.
Refusing to restrict his output to one genre or one school of thought, Carrier has dabbled freely in everything from house to
hip hop, drum ‘n’bass to minimal, techno to electro. Most DJ shave one label ? if at all ? but Chris is so restlessly creative
he’s founded a whole fistful of labels over the course of his career, including the renowned Adult Only imprint, Chronobrain,
Combustible, Taka, X86 and Direct Art. He has also worked under more than a fifteen aliases. Chris is an artist who refuses
to be pigeonholed or to conform to a bland “career plan.” Growing up in Paris his father, a keyboardist, provided his early
musical inspiration, along with heroes like Quincy Jones and AC/DC.
However, youthful notions of being a baker (“I like cakes,” he says) lost out to music when he discovered the early
90s techno rave scene and began to DJ. Driven to be the master of his musical destiny, Chris quickly learned to produce and
created pioneering techno outlet Chronobrain with Guillaume La Tortue. For seven-odd years Chris devoted himself the
label, and its offshoots including house-oriented Taka and drum ‘n’ bass imprint X86.However, his love for rave culture led
him back towards more purely creative work.
From 2003 onwards Chris has founded new labels Adult Only and Catwash, as well as bringing his vision to Get
Physical, Crack & Speed, Brique Rouge, Robsoul, Kill Brique and ? most recently ? Freak n’ Chic. This has put the
underground star firmly in the forefront of the new French electronic movement, bringing his diverse style to the sexy, deep,
techy house vibes that dominate the scene. Chris is more sought-after than ever for his DJ skills ? he’s penetrated the
notorious US market with gigs in Georgia, San Francisco, Denver, Las Vegas and Miami. And plays in Europe’s clubbing
capitals: London, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam and Milan, to name a few.
Look out for his gigs, and Chris’s forthcoming remix of Matthew Dear’s Dog Days ? the first of many exciting projects
for this unique artist in 2008.
