Stacy Kidd was born in Chicago in 1972 and started DJing in 1987 after being
amazed by the music he was hearing on the radio. He started out recording
Chicago house mixes off the radio, and would try to mix them together with 2
tape decks. He would even try to mix them together on one radio with 2 tape
players on it. After doing that for a year, Stacy began to have a good ear for
the music and started to buy records…. but didn’t even own a turntable yet. It
wasn’t until 1989 when he finally got a single turntable and started to mix with
one turntable and one tape deck. Having mixed for a while without a pitch
control on tape decks, using the turntable came naturally.
In 1990 Stacy was invited to play at a house party where he first used two
turntables. There he met Paul Johnson who was a guest at the party. Stacy was
playing a lot of unknown tracks he received from other producers like Ron
Hardy, DJ Rush, Armando and Farley JM Funk. Paul also had some unknown
material so they stared comparing tracks. Stacy would play one, then Paul
would play one. This went on for hours. Soon after, they began to hang out and
work on music together regularly.
In 1994 Stacy completed his first record with Paul on Dance Mania Records
called "Stacy Kidd & Pilly P Doing Thangs Vol 1." They went on to do two more
volumes before Stacy completed his first solo project called "15213 Loomis" on
Dance Mania Records in 1996. Following Paul Johnson’s advise on musical
styles, Stacy put out three club records that same year on Huge Records
(Chicago), Relief Records (Chicago) and Peacefrog Records in London. In 1997
he started traveling with Paul and performing at different events all over the
world.
The following year, Stacy made a huge impact on the club scene when he
released five records on Dusttraxx Records (Chicago), Aftermidnight Records
(Holland), Riviera Records (France), Daddy Records - a sub label of Peacefrog
(London) and a remix for Ministry of Sound Records in London. He continued to
release records and travel meeting a lot of DJs & producers from all over the
world. By the year 2000, Stacy reached a whole new level, he was working on
more vocal projects and remixes for larger labels as well as joining many tours
and studio sessions with a lot of the top house music producers in the game.
In 2002, Stacy started his own production company, "Underground Elements",
which includes vocalists Joi Williams and Matthew Yates, producers/DJ‘s Tim
Funatik (Dallas), Melvin Meeks (Chicago), Scott Payne (Chicago), and Ice Mike
Lataker (Chicago). In 2003, Stacy Kidd’s "HOT", got him recognized as one of
the most versatile up-and-coming producers in Chicago by DJ Magazine. Stacy
also joined the Louie Vega and Kenny Dope (MAW) family on their new label
"Kenlou Records." Stacy has DJed all over the world and the U.S. and has a lot
more production coming out of “Underground Elements” in the near future.
