“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/”

their own biography
the whole biography
k.tea, is a DJ, multi-disciplinary artist, event producer, entrepreneur, and space maker for femme, queer, and BIPOC communities. She seeks to create sonic journeys encouraging space for freedom, dance, and discovery. k.tea’s mission is to bridge generations of house music lovers and educate all on the expansiveness of house music’s sound. k.tea was born and raised in St. Louis by a musical family, surrounded by the constant sounds of jazz, funk, soul, theater, and percussion-heavy music. She spent nine years of her life in Chicago and found a seamless correlation between her upbringing and the soulful sounds of house music, creating a natural alignment of sound. k.tea now resides in NYC and has been heavily influenced by the dance and musical culture of New York, Jersey, and more. Through her musical offerings, you can clearly hear the passion, deep love, and respect for how house music has evolved around the world and her passion to bring all together for the love of house. With great influence from originators like DJ Celeste Alexander, Ron Trent, DJ Spinna, Kerri Chandler, Frankie Knuckles, Mark Francis, Timmy Regisford, Merlin Bobb, Mike Dunn, Gene Hunt, Natasha Diggs and more, k.tea hopes to continue the legacy alongside her peers of house music’s authentic, Black, soulful roots.Recently at public records, Car Park, SOBs · often with Donis, Mike Nasty, Jeremy Giros, none of them here that night
