City Boy Players

Eddie Flashin' Fowlkes is one of the most original, creative and multi-faceted figures of the Detroit scene (of which as too few people know he was one of the original founders, alongside his mates Atkins, May & Saunderson). He's always crossed musical borders, and boldly injected healthy doses of house, soul or gospel in his techno. This album sees him teaming up mega-talented producer, keyboard player and vocalist Niko Marks to create an album of Great Black Music which revisit a number of Afro-American roots, going from techno/house to soul, r’n’b & disco to hard electronica or weird collages and back again. No pretention, much fun, lots of grooves, and a profusion of great vocals and classic songs.

"They map out their own wonderfully idiosyncratic journey into the groove. Vibrant" (i-D)
