A real pleasure to welcome Chida to the mix series this week. Without question one of the finest of a new wave of DJs plying their craft across the world today; Chida made his name in his native Tokyo with his favored long and deeply skillful sets throughout the nineties regularly playing alongside Masters at Work for thier Nu Yorican Soul parties. In 2009 he launched his label Ene, quickly gaining admirers from aficionados Eric Duncan and Andrew Weatherall to Idjut Boys and Lindstrom with its high calibre output. His recent mix of Coyote’s “Fight The Future” on our label is out there now and laying waste to dance-floors the world over. It’s a delight to host a contribution on Clandestino with this searing, barnstorming selection.
