IDC is David McCarthy, a DJ/recording artist from London, UK. A major interview feature in leading international dance music publication DJ Mag declared "Electro iconoclast IDC isn't your typical DJ/producer – he's more like a multi-instrumentalist mix between Brian Wilson and DFA's James Murphy"〔Loben, Carl. "A Shining Example" DJ Mag vol 5 issue 1 September 2011〕 IDC's releases have consistently received 5 star press reviews, starting with his debut single 'Scratch', through to the release of his debut album 'Overthrow The Boss Class' in 2008 and continuing with subsequent album and single releases. Second album 'The Sun Is Always Shining Above The Clouds' saw the world's biggest selling dance magazine Mixmag write "IDC is back with a rich and diverse album made across five studios over 18 months"〔Stevenson, Nick. Mixmag, issue 244 September 2011〕 and make lead single "Eins Deux Tres" 'Tune of the Month', describing it as "a beautifully compelling collage of Beach Boys-like vocal harmonies and electronic voices."〔Stevenson, Nick. "Electro tunes" Mixmag〕 An extensive programme of DJ dates at major music Festivals and 'Top 100' club venues have established IDC as a headline act throughout Europe and SE Asia. The third album from IDC is due for release in summer 2015.〔Corsair Records press release No 257 Jan 2015〕 ==Recordings== IDC's debut single release 'Scratch' was likened to the output of DFA Records, described as "pushing the boundaries of electro-disco" in DJ Mag〔Lewis Dene DJ magazine no 68/Vol 3〕 and was one of the last records to be championed by John Peel on his legendary BBC radio show.〔http://acidted.wordpress.com/2011/10/30/keepingitpeel-idc/〕 2007 release "Stomp" was called "one seriously heavy slice of deviant dancefloor electro" in another 5 star review in iDJ, with crossover potential compared to The Prodigy in DJ Mag〔"Inside Track" DJ magazine no 28/Vol 4〕 and named 'Record of the Week' in places ranging from UK dance music mag legend DMC Update to John Kennedy's X-Posure show on XFM. The following single 'Akai Elvis' nudged the UK charts with DJ Mag writing "you can instantly hear why it's getting the same kind of response LCD Soundsytem's Losing My Edge got before it reached saturation levels."〔DJ Magazine 7 Sept〕 Debut Album August 2008 saw the release of the debut IDC album 'Overthrow The Boss Class'. The ten track collection was recorded in London and Brighton, with McCarthy taking on all writing, performing and production duties, except for a guest vocal on the track 'Modern Touch' by Martin Andrews from the group 'Volunteer'. 'OTBC' was mastered at The Soundmasters by Streaky Gee, whose credits include The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Death in Vegas and The Stone Roses. Once again superlative reviews followed, with a 5 star 'Recommended Album' review in International DJ Magazine calling it "2008's 'We Are The Night (Chemical brothers)'"〔Jenkins, Dave. Album reviews International DJ, issue 101 August 2008〕 and DJ Mag raving "there's a simplicity and fun to the production – a sense of delirious enjoyment rather that trying to be clever – that gives it an instantly accessible appeal."〔Wilmott, Ben. DJ Magazine Album reviews 8 August〕 DJ legend Mark Moore singled out the track 'Modern Touch' for particular praise in his monthly review column by writing "I shall go on record as declaring this as 2 minutes 53 seconds of perfect pop. Once it's over you just have to play it again... and again."〔Moore, Mark. Revoltage, QX Magazine issue 710 October 2008〕 April 2009 saw the release of IDC's first post debut album material, with the track 'Imaginary Bones' being released as an extended single package featuring Lo Fidelity Allstars' Phil Ward on vocals on two distinct versions taken from different recording sessions, along with several remixes. The main 'dance' version featured heavily at various parties at WMC Miami. iDJ magazine said ""this raucous romp could well be IDC's biggest club monster to date"〔International DJ playlist, Jan 2009 issue〕 and DMC Update made it five star single of the week saying "this is the most pissed up, drugged up, headfuck of a record that I've heard in a very long time, it makes The Prodigy sound like they've got The X Factor."〔Thatcher, Dean. DMC Update reviews Volume 3 issue 312 27 January 2009〕 The 'alternate version' featuring a full band and horn section picked up UK BBC Radio 1 airplay and led to a 'live band' session on John Kennedy's X-Posure show on XFM. The session featured three tracks recorded live at Capital Radio's Leicester Square studios, with McCarthy on bass and vocals joined by Seamus Murphy, Phil Ward and Martin Andrews. 2009 saw extensive periods in recording studios, with parts recorded in London, Brighton, Edinburgh and New York. The first fruits of these sessions was released as a 'free download' track the end of 2009. 'This Is Not A Riot' featured samples of crowd chants recorded at various demonstrations around the world, as well as the sampling of the LRAD Long Range Acoustic Device riot control sonic weapon. The track received national UK radio airplay on BBC Radio 1 with Rob Da Bank calling it "revolutionary rave".〔Annie Nightingale Breaks Show. BBC Radio-1 with Rob Da Bank 22 November 2009〕 and went on to be referenced as "riot-folk" by the world renown monthly magazine ''Fortean Times''〔FT266〕 which officially acknowledged the track as the first-ever musical work to feature the LRAD. June 2010 saw the release of single 'Daytime Radio Hit', ironically named due to the inclusion of the expletive-laden guest vocals of Holly from The New York Chimes which resulted in the only radio airplay coming from longtime supporter John Kennedy on XFM with an exclusively created 'bleeped' version. Dance press reviews continued to be highly positive, with iDJ calling it "jaunty electro boogie"〔Nelson, Larry. International DJ May 2010〕 and DJ Mag citing it as "an aptly-named DFA-style grooveathon."〔Loben, Carl. DJ Mag May 2010〕 Second Album The second IDC album 'The Sun Is Always Shining Above The Clouds' was released in August 2011. Mixmag wrote "IDC is back with a rich and diverse album made across five studios over 18 months"〔 and DJ Mag called it "a brilliant work"〔Alarcón, Claudio. "Album reviews" DJ Mag España, vol2 issue 10 August 2011〕 giving a rating of 9 out of 10. "Eins Deux Tres" was the lead single from the album and it was awarded 'Tune of the Month' in Mixmag describing it as "a beautifully compelling collage of Beach Boys-like vocal harmonies and electronic voices. There's a Mobyness about its uplifting chords while the range of quirky samples and strings are reminiscent of The Avalanches. The best tri-lingual track we've ever featured!".〔Stevenson, Nick. "Electro tunes" Mixmag, issue 244 September 2011〕 DJ Mag gave it 9/10 writing "an explosion of ELO strings over a 'One More Time' rhythm stomp, never mind 'Money Shot' of the month, I think this is 'Single of the Year'"〔Electro Reviews. DJ Mag, vol4 issue 100 August 2011〕 'TSIASATC' album track 'Everybody' was released as an EP in 2012 which included an extended version and several remixes. It was declared "an essential must-have electro package for 2012" in a 9/10 review in DJ Mag.〔Electro Reviews, DJ Mag, issue 507 March 2012〕 In 2013 'Everybody' appeared on the soundtrack of the motion picture Make your Move 3d Later in the year stand-alone single 'The Man with The Last Laugh' was released and received yet another 9/10 in DJ Mag: "This 21st century John Barry-stlye megatune gets a much deserved full release. The campaign for a dance track James Bond theme starts here!"〔Singles Reviews, DJ Mag, issue 527 November 2013〕 2014 saw the tenth anniversary of debut single 'Scratch' celebrated with a re-issue which included a brand new '2014TYL' version remixed by IDC. The other tracks from the original vinyl release were made available digitally for the first time. 'What's going On Here?' was released as a single in January 2015 as the first material from the as yet unnamed third album. It cames backed with a live full-band version of 'Imaginary Bones'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IDC (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
