Jackie — Nothing Like Detroit
Shy People Mix08.07 2021
House、Techno 舞曲（甚至电子音乐）领域一直以来是由男性主导。音乐制作人/ DJ /厂牌主理 K-HAND 在1990年代的出现，成为黑人女性同样有能力掌控该领域的一个被广泛传播的事例。8月3日，底特律市政授予“底特律第一夫人”之称的 K-HAND 逝世，享年56岁。
本名 Kelli Hand，年轻时流连由 Larry Levan 驻场的纽约夜店 Paradise Garage。那种欢快、原始、大开大合的黑人音乐能量深深影响了 K-HAND。受前辈指点，她随后成为底特律俱乐部 Zippers 的驻场 DJ。1990年，她创立了自己的唱片公司，以之前住过底特律的一条街道命名为 Acacia Records。在底特律 Techno 第二波浪潮名团 UR 的多位成员帮助下，K-HAND 发表了自己的音乐作品。1990年代陆续在 !K7、Warp 和 Tresor等欧洲名厂中亮相。尽管身处底特律，她的音乐影响更多来自芝加哥和纽约场景。从 K-HAND 的履历即可见 House 和 Techno 的不分家。
8月4日，给予 K-HAND 芝加哥舞曲美学灵感的 Paul Johnson 因不敌新冠而辞世，享年50岁。
这位 Chicago House 传奇大哥在1987年开始成为舞曲制作人的同时，亦被流弹击中被迫开始坐轮椅。靠一系列作品如芝加哥地下名厂 Dance Mania 的 Ghetto House 曲目，在1990年代中期成为 House 圈内关键人物。Daft Punk 也是他的著名信徒之一。Paul 原来受伤的一条腿在2003年被截肢，另一条腿也在2010年的一场车祸中被截肢，但他依然继续在世界各地做 DJ。Paul 甚至觉得自己在身体健全的时候过得浑浑浊浊，现在的生活才完满，也许是音乐拯救了他吧，“It’s all about the music.”
我们为了纪念底特律（及芝加哥）舞曲先驱，邀请了国内黑胶 Techno DJ 大拿 Jackie 临时制作了一期非常走心的新 Set。由于时间仓促没有录音器材，所以 Jackie 使用了 Ableton 软件操作。
Jackie 是我们在北京认识的 DJ /制作人/唱片挖掘者，6年前搬到了上海。他2005年即开始了 DJ 生涯。曾为中央人民广播电台调频 FM101.8音乐节目“Street Jam”担任制作/主持。并曾独立制作过系列电台节目“Ghost In The Machine”，介绍受到底特律这座城市影响下的正统 Techno/ House 音乐。近年他还开始做混音制作，以及作为乐手加入到乐队的现场演出中。

House, Techno dance music (and even Electronic music) have always been dominated by men. The emergence of music producer/DJ/label manager K-HAND in the 1990s has become a widely spread example of black women having the same ability to control the field. On August 3, K-HAND, who was awarded the title of "First Lady of Detroit" by the Detroit City Council, passed away at the age of 56.
Her real name is Kelli Hand. When she was young, she wandered around the New York nightclub Paradise Garage when Larry Levan was the resident DJ there. That kind of cheerful, primitive, open-minded black music energy deeply influenced K-HAND. She later became the resident DJ of the Detroit club Zippers. In 1990, she founded her own record company, named Acacia Records after a street where she had lived in Detroit before. With the help of many members of the Detroit Techno second wave group UR, K-HAND released her own music works. In the 1990s, it appeared in famous European factories such as! K7, Warp and Tresor. Despite being in Detroit, her musical influence is more from the Chicago and New York scenes. From the resume of K-HAND, you can see that House and Techno are not separated.
On August 4th, Paul Johnson, who inspired the aesthetics of K-HAND Chicago dance music, passed away at the age of 50 after a battle with Covid-19.
While the legendary Chicago House legend started to become a dance music producer in 1987, he was also hit by a stray bullet and forced to start using a wheelchair. Relying on a series of works such as the Ghetto House tracks that released by Dance Mania, a famous underground label in Chicago, he became a key figure in the House scene in the mid-1990s. Daft Punk is also one of his famous followers. Paul's an injured leg was amputated in 2003 and the other leg was amputated in a car accident in 2010, but he still continues to be a DJ around the world. Paul never give up, maybe music has saved him already, "It’s all about the music."
In order to commemorate the pioneers of dance music in Detroit (and Chicago), we invited Jackie, an old friend and a vinyl Techno DJ, to give us a new mix set. It's positive like the American dance music. Since there is no recording equipment due to time rush, Jackie uses Ableton software to operate.
Jackie is a DJ/producer/digger we met in Beijing, but he moved to Shanghai 6 years ago. He started his DJ career in 2005. Served as the producer/host of the FM101.8 music program "Street Jam" of the Central People's Broadcasting Station. He has independently produced a series of radio programs "Ghost In The Machine", introducing Techno/ House music under the influence of the city of Detroit.
