| About Godfather of Techno Soul ******* Eddie Fowlkes |
|
Honored by the Detroit Historical Museum's exhibit "Techno: Detroit's Gift to the World," Eddie Fowlkes and three other cohorts were featured for originating Detroit Techno music. The exhibit captured his over 25 years of experience in the music industry, stretching back to when he got his first mixer for Christmas in 1977. That mixer led him to understand the power that music could have on people, which inspired him to make his first hit record, "Goodbye Kiss," released on Metroplex in 1986. Recording his record in turn inspired Derrick May's and Keven Saunderson's acclaimed first records. He also single-handedly establishes a new genre of dance music, 'Techno-Soul,' by combining deep, soulful house sounds with more digital, electronic elements of his own sounds. He has now released over 150 tracks on Sony, BMG, Warner Brothers, Tresor, Azuli, P.I.A.S. London to name a few majors and independents. Eddie has remixed The Pet Shops Boys, Moby, Martha Wash, and Juan Atkins as well as countless European artists. Now Eddie's focus is on his own label "Detroit Wax" of pure techno soul baby......!
