............................ 电子音乐是个风云变幻的世界，能够永远站在最前列的人物屈指可数．能够总是引领音乐方向的人更是各中楚翘． Superfreq这个响彻21世纪的舞曲品牌的创始人C先生，便是这等的传奇人物． 他作为引领电音20年的领头人物，1989年Mr. C就加入当时走红于英国电子舞曲界的团体Shamen，精湛的演唱及创作將Shamen推向事业高峰，成为当时世界上最成功的舞曲团体。单曲〝Move any Mountain〞91年登上排行No.4，92年的冠军单曲〝Ebineezer Good〞竟蝉联四周榜首。最不在意排名的他，却偏偏是MUZIK 2000年全球五十大DJ排名 No.15的顶级人物。 C先生关注的始终是音乐本身，他多重的身份让他总是能够引领潮流，身兼国际级DJ， 创意制作人，唱片厂牌plink plonk/End Recordings发起人及伦敦著名电音舞场The End舞厅老板，每一点都被他充分的利用于把电音发扬光大，这一切无疑使Mr. C成为英 国最受推崇的电子音乐先锋。
有趣的是，在九十年代各种舞曲风格繁杂的时刻，他为跳舞音乐各种分支进行了精细而 又全面地划分，并且因此受到全世界范围内尊重和景仰。他还不遗余力地发掘和提拔更 多优秀的地下音乐，让它们的声音能被更多地被人听到。而TECH HOUSE，这种如今爱 好舞曲音乐的人已经耳熟于心的节奏，就是Mr. C创造出来的！ Mr. C的DJ功力从他在the END的《Subterrain' Night》受欢迎程度及多次获得音乐雜 杂志推荐可见一斑。2000年发行的tech-house混音作品《Mr. C presents Subterrain 100% Unreleased》MUZIK年度十大混音合辑，All Music Guide给了四颗半星，这是近满分的评价。
............................
Mr C was originally most famous as the front man of The Shamen; the techno-rave outfit that scored huge hits and notoriety in the 90s with tracks like Ebeneezer Goode. But Mr C's progress, before and after he gained global fame, has been characterised by a devotion to electronic music and a solid DJ career that sees him playing around the world plus running the underground Superfreq night both in Ibiza and in The End's lounge on Sunday nights.
Making a name for himself as a rapper throughout his teens, going by the name Chelsea Boy, he decided to change his name to Mr C, because "C goes with everything. It's easy to rhyme." The newly named rapper then fell headfirst into London's vibrant acid house club scene, soon working with DJs like Kid Bachelor, 'Evil' Eddie Richards and Colin Faver . He made his first record in 1987 with Eddie Richards. Called 'Page 67', it came out under the name Myster-E, prompting him to start DJing. "The mixing was spot on - straight away," he says. "Before you know it, I was one of the biggest names in London." Mr C then became one of the first stars of dance with The Shamen, touring the world, selling millions of albums, and paving for way for acts like The Prodigy, Leftfield and Underworld.
After forming the groundbreaking Plink Plonk record label in 1992, Mr C went on to open The End with Layo Paskin in 1996, and watched its impact on the capital: "It has been a direct influence on the whole of club and bar-restaurant culture in London." The End even launched its own genre: tech house. The phrase - which can mean anything from house and techno, to breaks and tribal - signifies more of a mindset that a type of music. Says Mr C, "it's an attitude. Like acid house was an attitude". The DJing style he has become best known for in recent years, however, is underground-electro-acid house, and that's the sound that fills AKA on monthly Sunday nights.
As well as the Sunday night Superfreq party, Mr C also runs a record label of the same name with partner in crime, Luke VB, and produces as the Sycophant Slags with production partner Adultnapper.
So there you have it, a bit of luck, a lot of hard work, and a tons of attitude got Mr C where he is today. He reckons the secret of success is never standing still: "I've got a very low boredom threshold," he grins.
