The Flight Deck

This month's podcast we dug deep out of the Innerflight vaults to showcase the mad genius that is Phil Western.  The set is a recording of a live performance from our Red Eye Afterhours at the 2009 Decibel Festival afterparty in which Phil left no stone unturned in this sublime set of acid, techno and beyond.  Phil revisits the scene of the crime at our monthly Drop party at ETG this Saturday.  Opening will be Innerflight's own DJ Manos and rounding out the lineup are Drop residents Rhines, Night Train and Kadeejah Streets.

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 records in 1986. That recording, in turn, inspired Derrick May's and Kevin Saunderson's first acclaimed recordings.

Eddie also single-handedly established 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. Also, Eddie has recordings on Sony, BMG, Warner Brothers, Tresor, Azuli, P.I.A.S.(London) to name a few majors and independents. He has remixed and/or produced The Pet Shops Boys, Moby, Martha Wash, Juan Atkins, Amp Fiddler, and countless European artists. Eddie's album "Welcome to my World" was named Top 25 by M8 magazine (London).

Now Eddie's focus is on his own labels "Detroit Wax" and "Cityboy Music and Eddie is working' on his new group, "The Black Extra Terrestrials" and the terrestrials are various artists from Detroit. pure Techno-Soul baby..!

The second podcast is a mix from none other than tech house pioneer Evil Eddie Richards. Eddie's mix is a chugging, nighttime journey through tech house and is everything you would expect from the godfather and more.

Detroit beat-wizard, Monty Luke, seamlessly walks between genres in this month's edition of The Flight Deck podcast. A sprinkling of jazz and space funk amongst the house and techno in this mix meld musical flavors together nicely, showing Monty's prowess and skill behind the decks.
