If the ideal greatest hits collection captures the fundamental truth about an artist, Eric Kupper’s “A Lifetime In Dance Music” illuminates an enviable back catalogue, extraordinary production abilities and ultimately, reveals a passionate house music connoisseur.
The 24 track compilation celebrates Eric Kupper’s extensive work and revered career and is a collector’s opportunity to reaffirm his influence and golden touch as a remixer for over five decades. This second volume of “A Lifetime In Dance Music” features another selection of Kupper’s best productions and remixes from such great artists as Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire, Curtis Mayfield, and Moloko.
Emblematic of iconic nightlife and reflective of the sheer scope of his work for seminal artists such as Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summer, this definitive collection serves as a reminder of Kupper's extraordinary blend of studio prowess, control and agility as a producer and remixer. As a writing and production partner to the late godfather of house music, Frankie Knuckles, Kupper is a true musician and multi-instrumentalist who has played on, remixed, produced, or engineered over 2,000 records spanning a wide variety of contemporary musical genres.
Eavesdropping on Kupper’s sophisticated and impeccable production style, which has amassed an unparalleled back catalogue, captures the imagination taking us back to musical decades past. His work throughout the mid to late 80s and early 90s, notably with Def Mix Productions and remixes for the likes of genre superstars Alison Limerick, Ce Ce Peniston, Inner City, and Frankie Knuckles, is regarded as part of the foundations of house music as we know it today.
