Hideo Kobayashi
Born and based in Nagano, in central Japan, like many in his generation, Hideo discovered electronic music when he first heard Yellow Magic Orchestra and Kraftwerk. In 1986, got the itch to compose electronic music with his sequencer, keyboards, drum machine and started performing live as well. In 1988, he discovered the enfolding world of clubs and dance music in Tokyo, and soon turned his attention to techno and began his production career in 1994, in the thick of the emerging techno scene in Japan.
While visiting the U.S. west coast in late 90’s, he discovered the then emerging deep house scene in the Bay Area. A chance meeting with Jerome Sydenhem at a club there, lead to the first collaboration with him and also DJ Said, as Lagos Nagano Players Association, with the release of DJ Tools Vol. 7 out of Ibadan in 2006. His release of Children Of The Drums, another collaboration with DJ Said from Chez Music, caught the attention of the legendary Francois K. Afterwards, Hideo found a new fan of his music in Francois K, who has been championing his music regularly.
Around the same period, Hideo returned to Japan, clutching a wealth of studio and DJ experience, at his base in Nagano, with Jerome Sydenhem, he produced the Nagano Kitchen album released from Apotek Records and Apt. International in Japan in 2007, which caught the attention of many DJs around the world. This period marked a turning point in his career. Hideo released the album, Zero in 2009 from Apt. International and a year later, his 2nd album, a Drama which featured appearances from Lisa Shaw, Ramus Faber, etc. With these handful of releases, Hideo’s music began captivating a wide range of the big DJs such as Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, X-PRESS 2, Francois K., Richie Hawtin, Hernan Cattaneo, Laurent Garnier, Danny Krivit, Joe Claussell, Simon Dunmore, amongst others.
A fusion of Japanese mystique, mixed with a solid, top notch, modern production of silky deep house, tranquil tech-house and floor-rockin’ techno, his unique musical vision has gone beyond the limits of micro-genres to capture a cross section of dance music fans all around the world. Hideo also consolidated his status in the world’s dance music scene, by receiving numerous remix and license offers from the leading labels such as Ministry of Sound, Defected, King Street, Renaissance, Ibadan, OM, etc. His track, Amarillo was featured in Hernán Cattáneo’s mix CD, Renaissance and his track, Made in Japan was included in the mega-selling mix CD by Hook N Sling, Anna Lunoe & Axwell- Clubbers Guide To 2010, out of Ministry Of Sound. His remix of Shigeru Tanabu’s track, Adrian was included in the mix CD, Heartbeat Presents Mixed By Francois K. @ Air (Tokyo) as well. He also topped the Traxsource album chart, a first by a Japanese artist, with After The Drama, a dance floor oriented rework of the album, pattissier, released in 2011, which features various collaborations with Soil& “Pimp” Sessions, Rasmus Faber, Barbara Tucker & Tucillo, etc. The pattissier album went to Number 1 in the iTunes Store Japan Dance Chart as well. Recently, he has returned to his techno roots and produced a new track, Black Panther, with his partner in crime, Jerome Sydenhem in their Nagano Kitchen alias, which was included in Drumcode’s 15th Anniversary compilation. Hideo has also found time to do remixes for Ken Ishii, London Elektricity, Tokyo Black Star and dOP.
Parallel with his production releases, he also zigzags across the world to DJ frequently, showcasing his versatile aesthetic of dance music panache and technique in many Asian and European clubs such as Moxa in Italy, AKA and Egg in London, the notorious Stadium in Jakarta, 360 in Dubai and at various clubs in Seoul amongst others as well as at various clubs across Japan.
One of Hideo most recent projects is his full-length album, Underground Business which was released in mid 2012. Underground Business showcases Hideo’s versatile nature, focusing his sights to a more, head-spinning, raw, electric, spacey, floor-rockin’ direction. Whether from his various productions being canned by the top DJs or with his rockin’ DJ sets at various clubs around the world, one can only look forward to this ever-progressing, prolific samurai wielding his many guises.
HIDEO KOBAYASHI (小林秀雄)
当今日本最多产的电音制作人和DJ之一，多才多艺，其音乐散文如今在全球舞曲界颇受欢迎。以自身名义发行现代版深浩室舞曲以及超劲爆科技舞曲，与伊巴丹的Jerome Syndenham携手制作最顶尖的科技浩室舞曲《Nagano Kitchen》，并定期以DJ身份现身全球多家最酷俱乐部等等诸多事迹，使小林秀雄成为当之无愧的超凡多产电音武士。
小林秀雄出生于日本中部的长野县并在那里长大。与他那一代的很多人一样，小林秀雄通过《Yellow Magic Orchestra》和《Kraftwerk》开始接触电音。1986年，萌生以音序器、键盘和电子鼓进行电音创作的想法并开始进行现场表演。1988年，他在东京认识到俱乐部和舞曲的神秘世界，并很快将注意力转向科技舞曲。1994年，于日本国内科技舞曲界蓬勃发展之际，他开始了自己的制作生涯。
然后，在上世纪90年代末期来到美国西海岸，并于湾区接触到新兴的深浩室舞曲界。在那里，他与Jerome Sydenhem在一家俱乐部内偶遇，进而与后者以及DJ Said展开第一次合作，组建“拉各斯长野演奏者协会”，并于2006年在伊巴丹发行DJ Tools Vol. 7。《Children Of The Drums》则是他与Chez Music的DJ Said又一次合作的成果，并因此得到了传奇人物Francois K的关注。之后，Francois K便喜欢上了他的音乐，成为他的忠实拥护者。
大约在同一时期，小林秀雄身携丰富的工作室和DJ经验回到日本。接着，在长野县的大本营与Jerome Sydenhem一起制作了《Nagano Kitchen》专辑并于2007年由Apotek Records和Apt. International在日本发行。该专辑吸引了全球诸多DJ的关注。这一时期标志着他事业上的一个转折点。2009年，小林秀雄通过Apt. International发行了专辑《Zero》。一年之后，他发行了第二张专辑《A Drama》，在该专辑中Lisa Shaw和Ramus Faber等诸多艺人现身表演。随着这些专辑的发行，小林秀雄的音乐作品开始引起众多大牌DJ的关注，像Tiesto、Paul Van Dyk、X-PRESS 2、Francois K.、Richie Hawtin、Hernan Cattaneo、Laurent Garnier、Danny Krivit、Joe Claussell、Simon Dunmore等等。
凭借扎实的顶级现代制作手法，他将日本的神秘气息与柔和的深浩室舞曲、宁静的科技浩室舞曲以及劲爆的科技舞曲完美融合，其独特的音乐视野已经超越小流派的局限，牢牢俘获全球各地各类的舞曲粉丝。除此之外，小林秀雄还收到Ministry of Sound、Defected、King Street、Renaissance、Ibadan和OM等知名唱片公司的无数混音和授权合作，从而进一步巩固其在全球舞曲界的重要地位。他的乐曲《Amarillo》被收录在Hernán Cattáneo的混音CD《Renaissance》中，而乐曲《Made in Japan》则更是被Hook N Sling、Anna Lunoe和Axwell收录到他们通过Ministry Of Sound发行的畅销混音CD《Clubbers Guide To 2010》中。他对Shigeru Tanabu乐曲的混音作品《Adrian》也被收录到混音CD《Heartbeat Presents Mixed By Francois K. @ Air (Tokyo)》中。另外，他还凭借《After The Drama》登上Traxsource专辑排行榜第一名，这是日本艺人首次取得此佳绩。 《After The Drama》是他以舞池为导向对专辑《pattissier》进行改编而成并于2011年发行，其中体现了他与Soil& “Pimp” Sessions、Rasmus Faber、Barbara Tucker & Tucillo等的多项合作。 《pattissier》专辑也曾在iTunes Store日本舞曲排行榜中位居第一。
最近，他回到了他的科技舞曲起源之地，与他的罪犯伙伴Jerome Sydenhem以Nagano Kitchen艺名制作了新曲《Black Panther》，该曲目被收录在Drumcode的15周年纪念版合集中。小林秀雄还一直抽空为Ken Ishii、London Elektricity、Tokyo Black Star和dOP制作混音。
与制作发行并驾齐驱，他还时常穿梭于全球各地的DJ舞台上，在许多亚洲和欧洲俱乐部内展示其多才多艺的舞曲炫技和手法，无论是意大利的Moxa、伦敦的AKA和Egg、雅加达臭名昭著的Stadium、迪拜的360，还是汉城的各种俱乐部以及日本各地的多家俱乐部，都可以看到他的身影。
小林秀雄的最新作品之一是2012年中发行的全长专辑《Underground Business》。在这部作品中，小林秀雄将目光投向制作更为令人晕眩、粗暴、令人震惊、古怪而劲爆的舞曲，充分向我们展示了他的多才多艺。无论是从他被众多大牌DJ收藏的各种作品，还是他在全球各地诸多俱乐部中的摇滚DJ乐队，我们都只能期待这位始终不断进步的多产电音武士继续展现他的各种姿态
