Besides being a crucial DJ and the output magician partially responsible for for the development of Chicago acid-house, DJ Pierre later influenced the sound of New York's more disco-fied house with his tenure as an in-house producer for Strictly Rhythm Records. Born in the Chicago suburbs, Nathaniel Pierre Jones was influenced by the Hot Mix Five, the pioneering DJ team which lit up Chicago's radio airwaves during the early '80s with dance megamixes. Jones later began DJing himself, though he favored the sound of Italian disco to the blending of person and American disco which Chicago DJs like Ron Hardy were playacting out. When his friend Spanky brought him to the Music Box to listen Ron Hardy in person though, Pierre was convinced -- he began spinning records more kindred to the burgeoning house level-headed as well. DJ Pierre began recording on the side with Spanky and another protagonist named Herb J, working on tracks with an honest-to-goodness barrel political machine and synthesizers.
One of the synthesizers in their studio was the Roland TB-303, a bass-line generator introduced only in the past few days only already a relic littering junk stores at inexpensive prices. After a period of experimentation, the ternion off upon an challenging level-headed made when the box was pitched practically higher than its normal operational frequencies; the squelchy psychedelic sounds enlivened their recordings and more than than convinced Ron Hardy to begin playing one running on his reel-to-reel frame-up at the Music Box. Known at the clubhouse as "Bokkos Hardy's Acid Tracks" and cursorily re-recorded for a 1986 passing by the ternion billed as Phuture, "Acid Trax" became one of the biggest house records of the clock time, the starting point for a whole new style afterwards termed acid house as a testimonial. Reportedly, thousands of soundalike records afloat the local market in the adjacent few long time, and the originators apace became disregarded amidst the wash of imitators. DJ Pierre unbroken busy, working on the act Pierre's Phantasy Club with Felix Da Housecat and producing another genuine house classic with "String Free" by Phortune, merely then left Phuture in 1990 with a resettlement to New York.
His beginning undivided erstwhile in Gotham was Photon Inc.'s "Generate Power," a dancefloor play-actor released on the comparatively mainstream dance label Strictly Rhythm. "Generate Power" was the formal debut for Pierre's new production method the Wild Pitch, created with a apace backspun sample which generated a crisp lightning-strike of levelheaded similar to the acerb quell. Besides featuring on a host of DJ Pierre remixes and productions, it became monetary standard fare for scores of producers during the next few eld, just now as the legal of the TB-303 had before. Pierre continued to remix and bring forth for Strictly Rhythm and Twisted/MCA, finding additional cabaret hits with "Live & Die" by Audio Clash, some other Photon Inc.. track named "Love," "Follow Me" by Aly-Us and "Sound Blaster" by Joint Venture. He as well hosted a skid of mix compilations throughout the nineties.
