Who they are
“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/”

Lil Ray grew up on the Ft. Lauderdale Bat Mitzvah scene, and (in 1999) relocated to Atlanta where she discovered southern style beats and all night underground dance parties. She got behind the decks in 2008, moved to Brooklyn at the end of 2009, and now she bounces around NYC every week playing classic dance tracks ranging from 90s club to freestyle, electrofunk to nu disco, and she's no stranger to guilty pleasures.Last at Now & Then NYC in Jan · often with Quentin Harris, DJ Justice, k.tea, none of them here that night
