Kathleen Fisher is wearing a flowing black dress. Her hair looks like it’s been dipped in polyurethane strand by strand, set to dry and given an acetate finish. It’s so black and glossy it seems to radiate its own light. She’s flanked by her faithful piano counterpart, Ron Wasserman, who writes the songs, which they perform under the collective identity (also can be called ‘band’), Fisher.
Wasserman is in fact famous for composing the Power Rangers theme tune, ‘Go Go Power Rangers’. Fisher’s music is more low key than that explosive hit. Wasserman’s sort of the understated creative agent, whereas Fisher is the heroine with the knock-out voice. Together they make as great a team as Jack Spratt and his wife.
They were also one of the most prescient bands to utilise the Net as a means of distribution, being named one of the biggest internet bands by Time Magazine way back in 2000. They hit number 36 in the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart with ‘I Will Love You’. At the time it was the most downloaded song in history.
But the most phenomenal thing is Fisher’s voice. It is the kind of voice that has a physical presence that you can almost feel brushing past you.
He has been producing house music since the 90's but American producer Marc Kinchen has only become a household name in the last year or so. His resurfacing to the chart came after his remix of Storm Queen's 'Look Right Through' which topped the charts earlier this year and dominated radio and club playlists. Aside from that he is widely known as the king of the remix, having reworked tracks by everyone from Haim to Rudimental to Duke Dumont, all of which are regular fixtures in his crowd-pleasing sets. Up until Everywhere festival earlier this year in May, I had missed MK on three separate occasions (being so drunk that I passed out on the tram tracks being the most, or i guess least memorable time). But finally after getting to see him my expectations were more than exceeded, supplying my favourite set of the event. Playing everything I wanted to hear Including my first year of university soundtrack 'My Head Is A Jungle'. Since then, I've seen him play to a rammed dome shaped tent at Parklife festival and the beautiful picturesque Croatian Zrce beach Island of Pag setting of Hideout festival. It was the latter at which I was lucky enough to be on stage with MK with my friends and his entourage and what a moment it was. At one point 12 cases of champagne were bought out on stage for MK's pals to go crazy with, and spray over the crowd, who were more than happy to receive the cooling down. MK is, in my opinion, the biggest house name around! Go see why for yourself!
