Just when you thought
the funk couldn’t get any funkier, City Loud invites
down Junior Jack & Kid Crème - two of house music’s
newest superstars, to turn on the charm at City
Loud’s summer special on Saturday 19th June.
Junior Jack, otherwise
known as Vito Lucente, was born in Italy but has
been residing in Brussels ever since his parents
moved to Belgium when he was a teenager. Vito
first tasted success as Junior Jack with "My Feeling"
on PIAS recordings back in 2000, but it was his
next release, the classic bass-line monster and
City Loud anthem “Thrill Me” in 2002 that secured
his arrival on the world stage. With “Thrill Me”,
Vito firmly established the distinctive sound
of the irresistible pumping bassline that has
become one of the Junior Jack trademarks, that
we all know and love!!
At the start of 2003, Vito topped the UK singles
chart with “Make Luv”, a remake of Oliver Cheatham’s
1983 hit ‘Saturday Night’ released under the name
Room 5 on his own label Noisetraxx. The single
kept the No.1 position for 4 weeks - making it
one of the most successful dance tracks ever in
the UK. Back to Junior Jack now and the follow
up to “Thrill Me” came in the shape of “E Samba”
– the summer tune of 2003. “E Samba” was voted
the summer anthem of 2003 by DJ Magazine at the
Ibiza awards, where Junior Jack and Kid Crème
also picked up the award of Best Newcomer DJ’s.
Vito has since released “Da Hype” to further acclaim,
followed by his debut artist album, “Trust It”…
and trust us, the album rocks just as much as
this guy does behind the decks!!
Joining Junior Jack and also making his City Loud
debut in the process will be partner in crime
Kid Crème. Born Nicholas Scaravilli to an Italian
family in Brussels, Kid Crème spent his early
years learning to spin Hip Hop and study music
theory & classic piano (I bet he didn’t realize
how handy this would later become later on in
life??!!) It was whilst working as an assistant
engineer at Let’s Go Studios that Kid Crème met
Junior Jack and his mix of Boom on Drop Dead caught
Boy George’s eye, before he went onto remix Junior
Vasquez and Topazz. His first production under
the name Kid Creme was “Austin's Groove”. Licensed
it to Ink Records in the UK and Subliminal in
the US, Eric Morillo then added a Shawnee Taylor
vocal on the record and it blew up big time on
dancefloor’s around the world. His follow up track
“Hypnotising” (another huge City Loud anthem!)
was signed to Positiva and charted well in the
UK charts, before Kid Crème remixed Shakedown’s
“At Night” - his profile again soaring to new
heights (Kylie personally asked him to remix her
single Love At First Sight!!). On the DJing side
of things, you can catch Kid Crème (and Junior
Jack) spinning the
house music they so love throughout the world’s
biggest hotspots.
Joining the boys for their City Loud debut and
armed with some good ol’ fashioned funk and soul
will be our exclusive London resident, former
DMC Champion and Pump Up The Volume hero –
CJ Mackintosh to bring the night home!! CJ’s back
to play the final set of the night alongside the
first lady of house Lottie, who celebrates her
Birthday with a special celebratory set at the
club where it all began for her back in 1995 at
The Gallery. Soulful house lover and City Loud
fave Richard M will be back to get the party rocking
early on with the whole of Room 2 devoted to the
deep house sounds of Estonia’s Rulers of the Deep
aka Vibe Residents – one of Roger Sanchez’s favourite
producers (their “DJs Calling” anthem is on the
Release Yourself compilation). This DJ/Production/Remix
duo (DJ Meri and DJ P.Julm) were residents at
‘Vibe’ – the most talked about event in Estonia
and as Rulers of the Deep they went on remix KOT’s
“Finally” for Defected. Other remix credits include
Shakedown “At Night”, Il Padrino’s feat. Jocelyn
Brown “That’s how good your love is” and most
recently Mood2Swing “Can’t Get Away From You”.
Rulers of the Deep will be showcasing Tallinn
Express on the night – their Friday night show
transmitted live in Estonia, Russia and Finland.
