![]() Although Towa did not play any instruments, he was a record collector and added samples. Towa and Dmitry began jointly programming the band's computer. Thereafter, Towa sent Kier and Dmitry a bedroom DJ tape he had made and they realised he, like them, also enjoyed a fusion of funk and techno. In these early years, their live shows garnered a steady following and attracted Towa Tei as a fan. Part of the band's appeal was its inclusiveness, as noted by Mademoiselle magazine "as a group, they're a festival of individuality as a band, they're a party anyone can attend". As described in Rolling Stone, "they were drawing vivid, multiracial, pan-sexual crowds.". The band played in both hip-hop and house clubs, and both gay and straight clubs, including Wigstock and opening for Native Tongue Movement's De La Soul and Jungle Brothers. From the band's inception, Kier designed the posters and club invites and was also the graphic designer for all three albums and 12" singles. Indeed, sampling played such an important role that they named their production company "Sampladelic". She also bought a Casio FZ-series sampler, which was used almost exclusively on their first album. In 1987, Kier bought the Akai S900 sampler, which influenced their sound tremendously. Initially, Kier and Dmitry performed their songs monthly in numerous downtown NYC nightclubs from 1986 onwards. The band began in 1986 as a duo in New York City with Lady Miss Kier (born Kierin Magenta Kirby) primarily on vocals and Supa DJ Dmitry (born in Ukraine as Dmitry Brill) as the DJ, and then became a trio when Korean-Japanese Jungle DJ Towa Tei joined the group in 1988.
