Red D

Red D started listening to new beat and Belgian rave anthems around 1989 and slowly discovered the good stuff. Laurent Garnier's "Shot In The Dark" was the album that truly triggered the quest for knowledge. A quest that has led Red D to Chicago, Detroit, New York and back. An eternal love for the originators of these cities defines the sound of Red D. As the years progress Red Ds record collection and knowledge extend further into both past and future so in any given set you will hear tracks spanning the last 30 years of dance music. It goes without saying that as a dj Red D firmly believes that there are no boundaries in dance music, anything goes. If the time is right to drop a disco classic hell drop it, if a slice of Detroit techno fits the evening thats what youll get, because house is not about playing 120 bpm soulful deep stuff all night, its about creating mad energy on the dance floor, its about surprising people, conjuring up records that make people go: thats house?. DJ Marbble and various other people from Chicago, the birthplace of house have compared Red D to the oldskool Chicago djs, a raw sound full of energy and funk but with a touch of the New York styled soulfullness and a serious injection of dark Detroit grooves. As a dj Red D was and is influenced by people like Ron Hardy, Theo Parrish, Derrick Carter and Laurent Garnier when he plays all-nighters at the Parisian hotspot The Rex Club. Heavily featured in Red Ds record collection are Kerri Chandler, Larry Heard, Carl Craig, Blake Baxter, Theo Parrish, Jovonn, Bohannon, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Gangstarr, Moodymann, Mike Dunn, etc.
