Biography of K-Hand

Real name / K- HAND
Moniker(s) / Acacia, Gorsch, Rhythm Formation, kerohand

"Don’t think of K-Hand as just another Detroit-based producer, remixer or DJ. Think of her instead as one of the city’s best, as bold as that thought may seem. An internationally recognized veteran of the legendary Techno City's bottomless talent pool, Hand stands alongside Detroit's elite, the sort of DJ that has devoted more than a decade to working crowds into a tech house- or house-fueled frenzy. Though her prolific cross multi media production work often takes center stage, there’s no denying Hand's role as a globetrotting DJ who never fails to further Detroit's undisputed legacy. It takes years and years to acquire the sort of versatility that Hand has become known for. Whether it is a lengthy set at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival/Movement or a headlining gig at a high-profile club such as Fuse in Brussels, Hand knows how to read a crowd and seduce it, one track after another, until she has it at her mercy, and the dance floor dances. Just as well versed in techno (via her Detroit fostering) as house (via her days in Paradise Garage-era New York ), Hand offers the best of both worlds - few DJs can weave back and forth with such precision. If her legacy as one of Detroit’s most experienced DJs wasn’t enough, Hand’s production work never fails to garner her respect and attention. She is perhaps most widely known as the brains behind the long-running Acacia label, one of the city's most prolific labels throughout the ‘90s and into the ‘00s. In addition to her countless 12”, and Mp3 releases on Acacia, and remixes for the likes of Carl Craig’s Paperclip people, her numerous full-length albums garner critical acclaim year after year. In sum, with the current devotion to the electronica music scene, there is little that Hand hasn’t accomplished, explaining her in-demand status as a professional DJ, and music composer. Hand has since rose to fame as the first lady in techno electronic music, her hometown is Detroit, Michigan and she continues a vigorous worldwide tour new release schedule.”
