Fast Eddie
Creator of an original Chicago sound, DJ Fast Eddie has become a hip-house legend in the music scene. His popular house grooves synchronized with rhythms made him a musical phenomenon all over the globe. Today he masterminds a new vibe of deep house grooves accompanied by penetrating bass lines.
Before his stint as a producer, he was a DJ that was considered one of the premier house DJs at the time. He gained immense popularity during the heyday of Chicago House Music During that time, he was spinning on WGCI and WBMX in Chicago.
However, during that stint, he produced one of his first singles in collaboration with Kenny "Jammin'" Jason entitled "Can You Dance?", Fast Eddie came out with other house tracks such as "The Whop" based on the dance of the same name. Also, Fast Eddie left WGCI for WBMX for a short stint and then quit that to concentrate on producing. Fast Eddie scored one of his biggest hits with "Acid Thunder" on the DJ International Label. "Acid Thunder" is regarded as a classic of the Chicago acid house genre. However, it was the track "Hip House" which really increased his popularity. Fast Eddie popularized the genre of Hip house and produced several tracks afterward. He scored several hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, including "Git On Up" (featuring Sundance), which spent weeks at number one and is RIAA Certified.
Later he released "Make Some Noise", Fast Eddie made two collaborations that are considered under the genre of "Ghetto House." The first of these is entitled "Booty Call" and the other is entitled "Pump It". Both songs gained a lot of air play on Chicago radio and in clubs.
