CEVIN FISHER
Cevin Fisher’s EP “The Way We Used To” b/w “Check
This Out” has been rocking dancefloors from Twilo
in New York to London’s Ministry Of Sound
since it was released on MAXI Records in
1996. Other EP’s such as “Shine The Light” b/w “Lead
Me To The Mountaintop”, from Subversive in
the U.K., are likewise favorites of DJ’s
all around the world. With jocks as diverse
as Danny Rampling, Terry Farley, Junior Vasquez and
Danny Tenaglia caning his track
to death, it’s no small wonder that last year when
Cevin created “Women Beat Their Men” by
Submission (VELOCITY) and “Rain” by
Wet Dreams featuring Kenard (SUBVERSIVE), they
instantly became massive hits. Among the other
artists who have benefitted from his
remixing, production, and writing skills, with Number
One Billboard Hot Dance Records are: Robert
Miles, “Fable” (ARISTA); Kevin Aviance, “Din
Da Da” (WAVE); and, Praxis featuring Kathy
Brown, “Turn Me Out, Turn To Sugar” (FFRR
LONDON / STRICTLY RHYTHM). Cevin has been in
and around the music industry ever since he finished
high school; his passion for music lured him
into the world of Prelude, West-End,
Tony Humphries at the Zanzibar... and all-night
parties with Whitney Houston. “When I lived
in Jersey, she had these huge parties”,
remembers Cevin. “It was my fisrt experience of
partying through to the next day -- you
know, still dancing as the sun comes up. It
was pretty wild”. From there, Cevin picked up
gigs at loft parties and various college
one-offs, before he finally got his break as a warm-up
for Larry Paterson at Zanzibar
on Friday nights. After that, there was only really
one place he could head for ... New York. He
got into production doing some work for Timmy
Regisford over at Motown and was soon
incorporated into Arthur Baker’s production
staff at Shakedown Studios, where he made Number One
Billboard Dance remixes for Chaka
Khan (“Love You All My Lifetime”) and Quincy
Jones (I’ll Be Good To You). While developing his own
style, Cevin rapidly became known as a leader
in the evolution of House Music
during the early nineties. His significant sound broke
ground in the dance music industry with
classic anthems like “Hands On Love”
and “House Is A Feeling”, penned for the New York
indie label, Hardtrax. In the past two years,
Cevin the DJ has toured the world twice over,
performing at underground clubs and massive
venues in cities throughout Britain, Europe,
Asia, and North America. There’s one thing that
prevails in the life of Cevin Fisher. “Music
Is My Life”, he states. “When I’m in the
studio or at the turntables, a world of
thoughts are going through my head. Sometimes I get
very emotional when I’mm DJ’ing! The
fact is, music can do incredible things -- like heal
a broken heart... or bring peace to a soul in
need! That’s one of the reasons I like being
a DJ so much. I kind of need it. Music is my
food, my medecine”.
Among Cevin Fisher’s productions being
released in 1998 are slamming remixes of
the SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS’ classic, “The Pressure”
(AM:PM Records), and from ARTHUR BAKER’s amazing
catalog of hits, “Breakers’ Revenge” (Minimal
U.K.). Other records on his schedule
include: album material for dance divas SUZANNE PALMER
(Twisted America) and KEVIN
AVIANCE (Wave Records); a follow-up single to the
WET DREAMS smash, “Rain”, called “Sunrise”,
also featuring KENARD (Twisted America); and,
Cevin’s next two reasons for mixshow and
club DJ’s around the world to work their
turntables -- the sequel to “Women Beat Their Men”,
titled, SUBMISSION II “Do You
Want More”, and a real dancefloor driver, “Come Home”
by TURBULENCE (both on Velocity Records), will
be under the project name CEVIN FISHER’s
BIG FREAK. Since the record’s 2000 Freak’s
mix and Cevin’s Freakin’ Dub both had incredible
potential for effective mixing over &
with records from many different musical
styles, “The Freaks Come Out” landed on many
a U.K. playlist. Cevin has been in and around the
music business ever since he finished
high school in East Orange, New Jersey --
an area which has been, for
the last twenty years, home to many artists breaking
new sounds in urban music. Cevin’s
passion for music lured him into the
world of Prelude, West-End, Tony Humphries, and
all-night party experiences.
Before saying farewell to his teens, he had learned
that if a deejay played the right
music, a party could "last through to the next day --
you know, still dancing as the sun comes
up." From there, Cevin picked up deejay
gigs at private loft parties and various college
one-offs until finally getting a break
as opening jock for Larry Paterson at Zanzibar
on Friday nights. After that, there was only really
one place he could head for ... New
York, where he first got into music production in the
mid nineteen eighties doing some programming
work for Timmy Regisford at Motown.
Cevin also interned at Shakedown Sound Studios and
soon became incorporated into Arthur
Baker’s production staff, co-producing two
Number One Billboard Dance remixes for Chaka Khan and
Quincy Jones ("Love You All My
Lifetime" and "I’ll Be Good To You",
respectively). While developing his own style during
the early nineties, Cevin rapidly became
known as a leader in the evolution of House
Music. His significant sound broke ground
throughout the club music industry with
classic anthems like, "Hands On Love" and "House
Is A Feeling", which were both penned for the
New York indie label, Hardtrax. Over the
last three years, deejay Cevin Fisher has
toured the world, performing at notably
popular clubs and massive venues in cities throughout
Britain, Europe, Asia, and North America.
There is one thing that prevails in the
life of Cevin Fisher. "Music is my life," he
states. "When I’m in the recording studio
or at the turntables performing, a world of
emotions are going through my head. The fact is, music
can do incredible
things. One of the reasons I like deejaying so much is
that I kind of need it. Music is my food,
my medicine".
