Senssual sessions present Back to Ibiza with Marshall Jefferson
Senssual Session and Back to Ibiza, the longest running Friday night at
Pacha London (May 2004) bring you one of the creators of House to
the Original Home of House Music.
Pacha London creates a perfect environment for the Godfather of
House to showcase his Savoir Faire and his vast knowledge of House
music.
Alongside residents Coxswain and VictoR fL, Marshall will be spinning
the best House to warm you up for Xmas.
A bit about Marshall:
Marshall Jefferson is one of the founding fathers of house music as it
is known today. Born in Chicago in 1959, Marshall was a central figure
in the development of the Chicago house scene and produced seminal
house anthems including ‘Move Your Body’, ‘7 Ways To Jack’ and ‘Open
Our Eyes’.
He has worked with the best in the business, from fellow founding fa-
ther Frankie Knuckles to Roy Davis Jr., Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley, Felix Da
Housecat and Lil Louis.
Marshall has had a leading hand in the growth of the acid and deep
house movements and even today continues to evolve these genres
amid dooms-dayers predicting their collective demise.
Initially inspired by rock music, regular trips to Chicago’s famed Music
Box Club in the mid-1980s turned Marshall onto the sounds of early
house music. Having bought himself a modest synthesiser and
sequencer set-up, Marshall began producing his own cuts and passed
them onto Ron Hardy of the Music Box Club, who quickly began playing
them to the love of the crowd.
Marshall’s first release, 1985’s ‘Go Wild Rhythm Trax’ on Virgo
Records, demonstrated Marshall had the talent vital to succeed in such
a fickle industry. ‘Move Your Body’, originally a production Marshall
had passed onto Ron Hardy, was released on Trax Records in 1986 and
is today recognised as a genre-defining release, having been subtitled
and acclaimed ‘The House Music Anthem’.
The mid-1980s gave way to the development of acid house, and
Marshall actively participated in the movement’s growth through his
use of the Roland TB303. The release in 1987 of ‘Acid Trax’ launched
the career of DJ Pierre and Marshall went on to work with the likes of
Ten City,
Robert Owens, Keith Thompson and Pierre’s collective Phuture.
Forever in search of fresh inspiration, Marshall switched his focus in
the late 1980s from acid house to the then relatively new sub-genre of
deep house.
‘Open Our Eyes’, released on Big Beat in 1988, was a huge success;
nowhere before had a producer been able to make such an emotional
connection with the listener, at the same time maintaining the physical
connection necessary for it to succeed on the dance floor.
Through his work with vocalists like Kim Mazelle, Ce Ce Rogers and
Curtis McClaine, Marshall produced hits on labels including Republic
UK, Trax Records, Atlantic and Syncopate.
Juggling production and remix duties with a hectic touring schedule,
Marshall was the headline act in the first House Music Tour of Europe
in 1987 and enjoyed regular gigs in clubs around the US, most notably
in Chicago.
In 1990 Marshall retired from the scene following the shelving of a
massive project he took on with Big Beat Records, but re-appeared
behind the decks three years later feeling reenergised and with an
increased drive and passion for house music.
He moved to London and began a five-year residency with the Tribal
Gathering and Big Love events. His debut artist album, 1997’s ‘Day Of
The Onion’, received critical acclaim across the board, as did his mix
compila-
tions including 1996’s Tribal Gathering release – which he mixed with
fellow residents James Lavelle and Gayle San - and his 1997 effort,
‘Chicago House 86-91: The Definitive Story’.
The new millennium saw original production take a back seat, with
Marshall instead releasing several mix compilations, including 2001’s
‘Welcome to The World Of Marshall Jefferson – A Testament to House
Music’, 2003’s ‘Move Your Body: The Evolution of Chicago House’ and
2004’s ‘Marshall Jefferson Presents The Foundations of House’,
released on the UK’s Suss’d Records.
Marshall Jefferson Original releases, when they did drop, always fared
well.
Marshall’s collaboration with Serge Imhof on ‘69%’ on ATFC’s
OnePhatDeeva imprint was a defining release for the then relatively
new label. 2004 saw Marshall team up with DJ Pierre once more to
release ‘Clap Your Hands
(Everybody Dance)’ on the UK’s Essence Records.
I'd love to cut and paste Marshall's discography in here but it'd be
way
to long, so here's a link to it. It's the most extensive House Music
catalogue ever to exist.
