Profile
シカゴ生まれ、現アトランタ在住のDJ、プロデューサー、リミキサー。1986年にローランドTB-303を使用した “Acid Trax”をリリースし、エレクトロニック・ミュージックに新たな革命を起こしたことは、あまりにも有名。現在では、「アシッド・ハウスの父」と呼ばれている。また徐々に音数を増やしていく手法、＜ワイルド・ピッチ＞というスタイルを確立させた重要人物として知られる。
“The Horn Song”、“Switch”、“What Is House”、“Master Blaster”など世界的クラブ・ヒットは数知れず、またMissy ElliotやPet Shop Boysなど著名アーティストのリミックスも手掛ける敏腕プロデューサーでもある。
2007年には「自由な音楽表現の場所」というコンセプトを元に、自身のレーベル、【Afro Acid】をスタートさせ、自身の作品はもとより、Danny Howellsなどのベテランから、才能ある若手プロデューサーの作品を積極的に発表。
20年以上のキャリアを誇り、ハウス/テクノの礎を創り上げたともいえる重鎮、DJ Pierreの活躍は留まるところを知らない。

Back in the day when acid was just a tab, DJ Pierre was holed up in his bedroom inventing a sound which would impact on the music scene forever. In 1986, 'acid house' was in its infancy when DJ Pierre picked up a 303 and the infamous "Acid Tracks" was born.
Not many artists in the history of dance music can list Carl Cox, Diesel (X-Press 2), Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Michael Mayer (Kompakt Records), and Tom Stephan as fans. Not many can claim responsibility for helping kick start the careers of Felix Da Housecat and Roy Davis Jr. Not many can lay claim to giving birth to a genre and pioneering a sound that had the whole world dancing and imitating for over twenty years. DJ/Producer/Remixer, Nathaniel “Pierre” Jones AKA DJ ‘Wildpitch' Pierre is a rare breed. An artist who's considered a mentor to many of the ‘A' list DJ fraternity, old and new, and one man who continues to stand strong in an industry that's had its ups ‘n' downs.
From the days of ‘Phuture', Pierre's highly successful guise with fellow squelchers Spanky and Herb J - and their epic release ‘Acid Trax', to his biggest hit ‘The Horn Song', featuring Barbara Tucker, his solo projects with David Morales, Felix Da Housecat and his stint as Head of A&R at Strictly Rhythm, DJ Pierre is a force to be reckoned with.
After a bit of a break to get prepped for Dj Pierre's Afro Acid Project', his very first artist album, DJ Pierre is back and ready to show the world just why house music was worth shouting about in the first place.
"I feel a renewed sense of direction in my career. I've never had so many positive things in place at one time like I do now. I am very excited about being head of my own label, Afro Acid, and at the opportunity to make my first full album. I am humbled by what's happening." - DJ Pierre
