Cevin Fisher

Jack Said What welcomes a house music legend into the fold.

Cevin Fisher is a US house producer/DJ with pedigree. He had a purple patch around the millennium with tracks like ‘The Freaks Come Out’ and ‘(You Got Me) Burnin’ Up’, both of which conquered the UK charts. But even by that point he’d been in the music game for a decade. He began DJing in his father’s bar in New Jersey before scoring a residency at 17 in the infamous Club Zanzibar, where Kerri Chandler and Tony Humphries also cut their teeth.

Moving to New York, he got engineering work at Arthur Baker’s Shakedown Studio and with Motown, and remixed Chaka Khan and Quincy Jones, before the one and only Danny Tenaglia suggested to Cevin that his talents merited branching out on his own. A string of productions followed on Nite Grooves, Groovilicious, Subversive and Tommy Boy before he hit big with ‘The Freaks’. Kevin has continued to release quality house music this century on labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Big Love, Olmeto, Nettwerk, Nervous, Toolroom and Glasgow Underground, working with producers as varied as D.Ramirez, Prok & Fitch, David Morales Jack Back, Layo & Bushwacka and Seamus Haji.

Most recently, last year he co-produced wiggly, syncopated rhythmic house smash ‘Move That Body’ with Danny Tenaglia.
