the whole biography
Co-founded by Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele in 2015 as a monthly print fanzine, Love Injection’s continued multi-faceted expansion and evolution reflects the ongoing process of celebrating people and culture, seeking to fill in the gaps of dance music and nightlife culture’s untold stories and histories, and bring new perspectives to familiar ones. The pair host the Love Injection radio show on NYC’s beloved online radio institution, The Lot Radio, on the air every Saturday morning since February 2016.This sonic extension of Love Injection the print fanzine provides the duo, and their occasional esteemed guest hosts, the latitude to explore sounds unrestricted by the demands of the nocturnal dance floor. The newest branch of the Love Injection family tree is its record label, Love Injection Records. Conceptually, the label lives and operates with similarly fluid aesthetics, with one foot in the dance world and one outside of it. Counter to the modern trend of increasingly short DJ sets that leave little room for texture and nuance, Barbie and Paul’s preferred mode of DJing is the all-nighter – an extended journey/narrative with a beginning, middle, and end.Recently at public records, Good Room, Le Bain · often with Toribio, MUSCLECARS, Alyssa Stowers, none of them here that night
“DJ KIM LIGHTFOOT、ブルックリン出身の彼から発せられる音楽はHOUSEというフィルターを通して何処までも踊り続けられるようにうねるBEATと繊細でエレガントな旋律が共存するまさにBLACK MUSICど真ん中のダンスミュージックである。一度聞いた人はやみつきになり、どうしても彼のDJでないと満足出来ない。そんな彼を毎年待ち続けているファンが日本中にいるのだ。幼少の頃からディスコやソウル・ミュージック、ブレイクビーツに夢中になり、その後LOFT やPARADISE GARAGE等のクラブでLARRY LEVANやDAVID MANCUSOのプレイするシリアス・ダンス・ミュージックに影響を受けDJを開始。90年代前半に絶大な人気を誇った伝説のパーティー”AFTER LIFE”にて、盟友KALIM SHABAZZと共にレジデントDJとして活躍。その後UNDERGROUND NETWARKのFUNK HUTでレジデントとしてプレイ、またTHE SHELTER、BODY&SOUL、CAVIARなど、N.Y～BROOKLYNでの歴史的なUNDERGROUND DANCE PARTYでゲストDJとしてプレイしている。RON TRENTとも親交があり、共にTONY ALLEN(AFRO BEATの帝王FELA KUTIのバンドAFRIKA 70のオリジナル・ドラマーで、AFRO BEATの発明、進化の過程でFELAに絶大な影響を与えたアーティスト。)のREMIXも手がけている。TIMMY REGISFORD やDANNY KRIVIT、NICK JONES、ANDRE COLLINS等の名だたるDJ達からも絶対の信頼を得ている正にDJ’S DJである。MIXCLOUD https://www.mixcloud.com/discover/kim-lightfoot/”
