I'm not going to "go there" as it were. I don't have any personal
anecdotes like the one you provided, I simply want to document his
contributions to Detroit techno.
Which brings up another issue (and the reason I think he's overlooked)
-- apart from the Tresor stuff, Eddie's material has been scattered on
too many labels and projects in my opinion. He didn't benefit from
having a "Metroplex" "Transmat" or "KMS" becoming synonymous with his
own work.
I just want to put all the pieces together so current and future
subscribers can check his music out and form their own opinions.
Respect,
Dan

I was at Record Time about four years ago asking a couple of DJs that
I had
seen in the store if they would be in town during the weekend of an
event I
was putting on. EFF overheard me talking about it and came over and
inquired
who I had on the lineup. When he discovered that two of the DJs
playing that
night were coming into town from Toronto, he had a fit, demanding that
my
whole lineup be Detroit locals. When I informed him that I wasn't
talking to
him, he put up his fists and asked me to come outside to duke it out.
I have no respect for Eddie Fowlkes, have never purchased any of his
music
since the occasion, and will not attend any events he performs at. He
is an
immature, self-absorbed individual, who I have all to often heard
complain
that he does not get the recognition he deserves as a pioneer in the
electronic music community. IMHO, he is little more than a cry-baby.

He's overlooked so often, maybe something like this will help balance
things out.
