Placid K born in Varese (situated in the Northern part of Italy, near Milan).He began to listen to Techno music and therefore to became fascinated with this kind of music in 1990: the year in which Techno music had a really massive positive feedback in Italy. After some years a new kind of "Techno" was growing: Hardcore. During the cold month of January 1995, the first two
Placid K productions, "2nd Base" and "Quick Acid", were released on the PK side of "Genesis project": the absolute first Hardcore release on
Digital Boy label
D-boy Records.
Placid K is now starting to show his unique style. After some months the first "solo" vinyl called "Acid Factory" finally came out. From that first success, he couldn't imagine that another thirty projects would follow. He also did some co-productions and remixes with some of the most famous names in the Hardcore scene. Furthermore we cannot forget the well-known series of compilations that he signed, selected and mixed: "100% Hardcore"...
