Wade Randolph Hampton is an American DJ, film and music producer and recording artist. He is known for his contributions to electronic music and his involvement in the development of the North American rave scene. ==Early life== Wade grew up in Dallas, Texas and discovered his love of music at an early age. During his high school years, his taste for electronic music in particular was inspired by DJs at the legendary Starck Club,〔Generation Ecstasy: Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture, Simon Reynolds, 1998〕watching highly influential DJ Rick Squillante and Go-GO Mike DuPriest. Wade began regularly DJing warehouse parties near the University of North Texas, in Denton, in 1985, eventually playing small clubs on the campus itself. Two years later he would open his first nightclub, Westend, with another Starck Club DJ and lifelong mentor Kerry Jaggers, in Austin, Texas. Following the explosion of electronic music in America in the early to mid ‘80s, he moved to Chicago in 1988,〔Chicago Tribune, November 6, 1991〕 epicenter of the house music movement. As house music grew from its smaller roots to become an international musical genre, so did Wade’s involvement in the burgeoning warehouse party scene. He quickly launched acid jazz/balearic/soul weeklies at prototype ultralounge VooDoo, Wade's World at Shelter where he also assisted the club's director, Michael Blatter, with initiating Outlaw parties from New York’s Project X magazine. It was at this time that Wade developed close friendships with DJs that are now widely known internationally, including Derrick Carter, Mixmaster Morris, John Digweed, Vince Lawrence, Mark Farina, Spencer Kincey, Diz, DJ Colette, Heather, Dayhota and DJ Keoki. 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「Wade Randolph Hampton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
