Get Physical is proud to announce the release of the first ever album from Chicago house luminary DJ Pierre. Entitled Wild Pitch: The Story, it collects originals and remixes old and new, and stands as a testament to the unique skill of one of dance music’s most important figures.
Famously, DJ Pierre as good as invented the squelch of acid house when playing with his Roland TR-303 drum machine as part of Phuture back in the late eighties. From there he went on to clock up more than 200 credits under aliases like Doomsday, Prime One, Raving Lunatics, AC!D FACE, DJ Pierre’s Afro Acid Project and many more.
He also became famous for the Wild Pitch mixes and alias that lend this album its name: they were characterised by long intros, layer upon layer of strings, repetitive vocal samples, and filtered hypnotic sounds on hard beats. Working with labels like Strictly Rhythm, Trax, King Street, Nite Grooves, International Deejay Gigolo and more recently Get Physical, Pierre has contributed hugely to the global evolution of house music for thirty years plus. This is a timely reminder of that and one that is jam packed with essential tunes that, old or new, still sound… more
Review:
In the 30-odd years he’s spent producing heavy, TB-303-laden house music, DJ Pierre has never released an album under his most familiar alias. Wild Pitch: The Story sets out to put the record straight. It contains a mixture of previously unheard cuts and remixed classics in his distinctive Wild Pitch style (think dark, restless, mind-altering and funk-fuelled early morning workouts), with a few surprises thrown in. Highlights include a thumping re-make of 1993 slammer “Fall” – all jammed-out warehouse riffs, delay-laden vocal samples and thickset acid bass – the acid/deep house/gospel fusion of the Dr Martin Luther-King sampling “Meet Hate With Love” and a particularly wonky, acid-laden cover version of Donna Summer classic “I Feel Love”. In the words of Roach Motel: “Wild Pitch, I love you”.
