Classic house anthem with the coolest 303!!..
by the masta ...Mr. Marshall Jefferson.
About Marshall Jefferson:
There are a handful of men who have the title of "Godfather" of
house music, and while many have legitimate claims to the title,
because of seniority and being there at the beginning, one stands
out from the crowd as being the one that actually defined not only
House music, but dance music itself as we know it today.
His name is Marshall Jefferson, and when in 1986 he played piano on
a house record for the first time ever, the idea was so innovative
that record companies told him that it wasn't even house music.
That record was the platinum "House Music Anthem", and today you
rarely hear a house record without piano.
Since then, Marshall's list of accomplishments in House music read
like no one else; in 1987 he produced the first ever "Acid House"
record "Acid Tracks" using the TB 303, and simultaneously launching
the successful career of DJ Pierre. He also produced the first
house records incorporating old time soulful spiritual vocals,
launching the successful careers of Ten City, Kim Mazelle, and CeCe
Rogers. All those early songs are blueprints for what we recognise
today as deep house, garage music, techno music, and the TB 303 is
the most sought after instrument for techno artists and producers.
It seems like almost every song Marshall produced turned into
another form of music, but he was often oblivious to this at the
time; -I just wanted my songs to sound different from each other,-
he says. Marshall also became A and R of Trax records in its
"golden years" signing some of dance music's most influential
Artists alongside whom he was also the headline act in the worlds
first ever House music tour stopping in Europe and the UK in 1987.
The list of careers that Marshall has helped or launched reads like
a who's who of dance music; Roy Davis Jnr, Felix Da Housecat, Lil
Louise, Frankie Knuckles, Steve "Silk" Hurley, and many others, not
including the thousands of producers and DJs that have been
influenced by him.
The most impressive thing about Marshall however is what separated
him from all the others; his ability to consistently write the
classic song combining emotional lyrics and timeless melodies. He
is far and away the most covered songwriter in the history of
dance, with his back catalog containing more than two hundred
covers and sample licenses.
Despite his meteoric rise to success he was not without his
setbacks. In 1990 after over half a decade of global hits Marshall
was to receive what at the time seemed like the greatest
opportunity of his career. Big beat records offered him an
unprecedented million-dollar budget to produce an album on singer
Vikki Ryan who was tipped to be the next big thing in dance music.
The project gave him the chance to work with some of the greatest
musicians the world had to offer including full orchestral backing
by the entire Chicago symphony orchestra on every track. But sadly
in a strange twist of fate half way through the monumental project
the A and R man at big beat was fired and all works in progress on
the entire label were shelved. Having spent over a year of his life
recording putting his heart and soul into the project Marshall
became depressed and despondent losing all faith in the music
industry and its messy politics. In that moment he decided to
retire on the fortune his success had granted him and Marshall
slipped out of the limelight to live a quiet life with his close
friends and family. To this day that unfinished album has never
been released or even heard by anyone other than Marshall and his
production team.
In early spring of 1993 however after a 3yr absence Marshall
Jefferson was coaxed back to the roots of Djing in which he had
left behind in the early eighties to perform a charity gig in
London's Cafe de Paris in a special surprise performance. Such was
the response that night and the massive demand that followed to
bring him back he felt some of his passion and love for the music
return and soon after decided to come out of retirement. That as
they say is history and now nearly ten years on he is one of the
most prolific DJs to come out of Chicago having played at every
major club and event across Europe and the world.
His sets subtle blend of deep house, tribal beats and New York
style Garage Music have seen him in constant demand ever since. He
capped off a five-year residency for the tribal gathering and big
love events with a Major CD release. Joining forces with co
residents Gayle san and James Lavelle to blend their differing
styles charting the events diverse roots and history the 3
collaborated to make the album a solid gold 50,000 selling success!
Off the back of this his constant touring of the world continued
but it was not until a collaboration in 2001 with milk and two
sugars at London's "The End" yielded his next DJ album. This
release "Welcome to the world of Marshall Jefferson" coincided with
a major UK Network television documentary "Pump up the volume" on
Channel four, which charted the history of house music from its
earliest beginnings. Marshall's major contribution to this program
and the recognition it gave him on screen strengthened his legacy
to the younger generation and created a fabulous new wave of young
fans for Marshall who cherished the new Album and its inclusion of
rare house music classics that many of them had never heard.
This new demand for retrospectives and a growing trend towards
retro club nights across Europe eventually led Marshall to spawn a
project that would give this new generation a chance to learn about
the music that led to the creation of this "house music" that seems
to have changed the worlds youth culture so much. In October 2003
he will release a double album spanning the key years that inspired
the birth of this global phenomenon showing the links between such
early artists as Isaac Hayes, The Pockets and Inner Life and how
they had a direct effect to pioneering house legends such as
Fingers inc, Jamie principle, Joe smooth and of course Marshall
himself. "Move your Body <The Evolution of Chicago House>" will
become a memorable and collectable artefact from one of dance
music's most enduring and durable movements!
Althrough this period since his return to Djing still scarred by
the experience of the Vikki Ryan fiasco his producing has taken an
almost non-existent back seat in this phase of his career. In fact
he has rarely recorded any lone Marshall Jefferson Productions in
the past ten years except perhaps less than a handful of
underground offerings usually known only to specialist collectors
and other DJs. Despite this all is not as it seems. Marshall is
finally preparing a return to producing some time in the near
future as his long sabbatical has given him time to collect new
ideas and inspiration to begin the writing phase of what will
become a monumental return for one of House music's most revered
living legends. Whatever way dance music has progressed through the
years you can be sure he has been part of that, so we ask one
question? In what direction will he take it now?
Enjoy!.
