CHIDA (Ene) has been a pioneer of the Tokyo underground house music scene from early 90s. His label project "Ene" which started in 2009, the records are ultra limited and hard to find but live up to every inch of the hype they've created. Releases by Psychogem, Tiago and The Backwoods (aka DJ Kent/Force of Nature) for proof.
Born out of the underground scene in Tokyo, Chida's career has spanned over 20 years. Since the early 90s he has organized parties at all the notorious clubs Tokyo has to offer, from Ageha, Yellow, Unit, Loop to many others, exclusively bringing over the main players of house music from MAW to Strictly Rhythm and Nuyorican Soul label parties. This earned Chida a reputation as the go to warm up DJ for most of the internatioal DJs that graced the city over the years.
Since the turn of the century, Chida started working in management and A&R for Kenji Takimi's Crue-L Recordings and Kaoru Inoue's Seeds and Grounds, acquiring a strong knowledge of artists in Japan and developing a hunger to set up his own label. In 2009 he realized his dream and launched Ene Records, a vinyl dominated label, hand crafted - DIY style, featuring Japanese artists such as Sly Mongoose, Pyschogem, 9DW, Cos Mes and The Backwoods. The label, now approaching it's 14th release exposes the rare talent of the Japanese underground scene and up until now, has only featured Tiago and Lord of the Isles as the only gaijin releases. Chida has invited his favourite producers from outside of Japan to remix each record too. Prins Thomas, Eddie C, The Beat Broker, Coyote and Ray Mang to name but a few. Quality is never compromised, exemplified by the bespoke artwork and packaging, or be it the likes of Kotetsu at JVC who has mastered much of the label's work.
