DJ PIERRE'S TOP 10 CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
1. Getting the 303 and making "Acid Tracks' with Phuture. (1985)
2. The night Ron Hardy played "Acid Tracks". It was the first time we (Phuture) realized we had made something people loved. (1985)
3. DJing at Diamond Corps (Lil Louis's company's) event at the Bismarck Pavillion in Chicago. I knew at that moment I had arrived as a DJ because of the energy the crowd was giving me. (1986)
4. Moving to NY from Chicago. It was a good decision. My career continued because of it. Before I moved, the scene in Chicago was dying, so I took a leap of faith and kept things moving. (1990)
5. Having my first hit solo record as DJ Pierre, while creating another signature sound. The creation of the Wild Pitch sound came about with a track called "Generate Power". It was also my first Strictly Rhythm release. (1990)
6. Going to England. It was the first time I had DJ'ed outside of the US. It was the first time I saw just how huge acid and house music was. (1990)
7. My A&R debut for Strictly Rhythm Records, signing their biggest vinyl selling hit "Follow Me" by Alyus. It was a project I discovered. (1992)
8. Discovering a new trick with the equalizer on a mixing board using it to work the sounds of sampled drum loops. People referred to this later as "filtering." As far as I know this technique was first used on a song I did called "Master Blaster." No one had heard of it before then. People were always asking how I did it. (1994)
9. My biggest hit, "The Horn Song" featuring Barbara Tucker. Louie Vega (NY) was very instrumental with this song. With this project I discovered how to fit in live musicians with the Wild Pitch sound. (1998)
10. My second biggest anthem "Switch 2001". This song is special because everywhere I went everyone told me how much they loved it. It had a countdown and each time I played, despite location, folks always counted down with the track. Never failed. Dave Morales impacted this song also. I later worked with him on "Make It Hot". (2001)
