“Few artists today truly possess that Midas touch, which transports the genre (and of course their listeners) back to the golden days… Cid D Kid is providing House with both a breath of fresh air and a dose of nostalgia…” –Todd Terry
Inspired by the golden age of House music, Cid D Kid’s irresistible, Tech-House and Neo-Progressive fused sound occasionally infused with soulful, female vocal snippets seamlessly bridge the old school and new school. Cid D Kid - also known as Brian Cid - was raised in the Dominican Republic, later moved to South Florida and is currently residing in New York City where he produces and engineers, in his East Village music studio, a variety of genres ranging from Dance to Hip Hop.
In a short period of time behind the commercial music scene, Brian Cid has produced and engineered projects for Lady Gaga, Beyonce, The Disco Biscuits and Snoop Dogg – just to name a few. With continued success proving his talents behind the scene, in March of 2011, Brian Cid validated his multi-genre talent when he remixed Rihanna’s chart topping single, “What’s my Name”, released on his SoundCloud. Impressed by Brian Cid’s talents and success of the remix, legendary House music DJ and producer, Todd Terry, humbly offered to mentor and work with Brian Cid. Later that year, they officially released the single “Slave to the Beat” with little to no marketing under Terry’s label, In House Records, and surprisingly it received much support.
Keeping his momentum and expressing another one of his many talents, Brian Cid began Dj’ing at well-known, intimate NYC venues resulting in a steady growth of appreciation for his unique approach and sound.
Currently working on various releases with different labels, Brian Cid continues to produce and engineer notable, multi-genre projects. However, paving his own lane on the house music scene as a producer/DJ, Brian Cid is truly inspired by the legendary Erick Morillo. “Besides the fact he makes timeless music and we both grew up in the Dominican Republic, we share a similar aesthetic. We both appreciate vocal heavy dance tracks, although I’m here to carry on tradition while providing a breath of fresh air to the music that influenced me growing up”, says Cid.
