If the ideal greatest hits collection captures the fundamental truth about an artist, Eric Kupper’s – “A Lifetime In Dance Music” highlights an envious catalogue, extraordinary production skills and ultimately reveals a passionate maven of house music.

The 24-track compilation celebrates the vast work and revered career of Eric Kupper and is a collectable occasion to re-acknowledge his influence and golden touch as a remixer for over five decades. This second volume of “A Lifetime In Dance Music” highlights another selection of Kupper’s finest productions and remixes of greats such as Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire, Curtis Mayfield and Moloko.

Emblematic of an iconic nightlife and reflecting on the sheer scale of his work for seminal artists including Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summer, this ultimate collection serves as a reminder of Kupper’s astounding blend of studio power, control, and agility as a producer and remixer. As the writing and production partner of 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 range of contemporary musical genres.

An eavesdrop to Kupper’s sophisticated, faultless production style that has amassed an unprecedented catalogue captivates the imagination back to bygone musical decades. His work in the mid-to-late 1980s/early 1990s, especially with Def Mix Productions and remixes for the genre’s superstars Alison Limerick, Ce Ce Peniston, Inner City and Frankie Knuckles is considered to be part of the foundation for house music as it exists today.

Eric Kupper returns in his Organika guise for this newie on the Wave Music label. "Aurora" is a typical Kupper slant on the late night house theme, with bubbly keys, superb Spanish guitar, tight beats, sublime string arrangements, and rich chords, all backed by a deep bassline groove. The dub mix on the flip gives the beats a bit more meatiness, whilst still keeping that deep, late night vibe intact

Returning once again to re-identify NYC’s late nightclub world, this epic installation proves to be a key milestone in the label’s discography. The EP begins with a cool drifting taste of modulated pads, rhythmic guitar and simple drum work. Highlighting a bit more of a funky disco groove, Atlantis is a liquid soul jam for the ages. The beat picks up with Count Down To Zero, as an uber progressive hypnotic loop track gets lost in the smooth key stabs. The tribal vibe picks up with Don’t Look Down, adding some more percussion, slow attack synth chords and crazy Rhodes melodies. Gabriel slows things down to a lazy dubbed-out house cut full of succulent strings, charismatic claps and middle-eastern harmonies. Great for the late-night club slot or an introspective headphone listen, this solid EP is a sure fire success!

Beautiful melodious techno inspiring a spaced-out abandon. Sam Perez and Matteo Bruscagin aka Brusca started to gain recognition with their dark, progressive thriller of a cut called “Ghosts and Ghouls” on H’Plus in 2004, but they don’t limit themselves to sinister grooves of that nature. While their style is always epic with sweeping synthesizers and digital drama and effects, Apologist is showing their sensual, dubbier side with this debut release on Wave Music. The duo has released productions and remixes together, separately and under different names on quality labels like Yoshitoshi, Baroque, Swift and Restart.

Yasuda fuses intelligent techno with elements of deep house, a bit of melodic Knights of the Jaguar compounded with doses of King Britt soul for a cosmic disco trip. The track slowly builds off of spacey synths and a soft, fuzzy beat. Snares, strings and a hypnotic melody elevate the mood on this tech beat. Flip for "Sabit Tech Dub" which deepens the bassline and drops the bpms a notch to 124. A meteor shower of glimmering strings haunts this track, creating an epic mood that is beyond comparison. Quality arrangement on this one through and through

Eric Kupper's first Organika release was the massive smash hit "Havana", a seminal cut which laid the foundation for theAfricanism/DJ Gregory explosion that's dominated house the last few years. The follow-up takes a similar approach, with Kupper slamming some rock-solid tribal/latin beats as the foundation for a funky horn pattern that recalls 80s dance like Miami Sound Machine. Featured on Matthias Heilbronn's latest Deep & Sexy compilation, this one is not to be missed!

Second selection of deep house grooves on Wave from AlphaMotive Featuring some sultry vocals from Dina Richardson teaming up with some subtle synth stabs, a great trumpet line, funky percussion, and deep and delicious bassline groove, perfect for fans of the likes of Charles Webster, Moloko, etc The "Comin Up Funk Vocal Mix" toughens up the beats, sweeps the synths, and strips some of the vocal away, preferring instead to go with the thumping kickdrum lead and a filtered take on the trumpet from the original before the bassline takes the cut over Last up is the "Apex House Mix", which is the dubbiest take of the mixes, with dubs and filters running rampant on this truly deep interpretation

With E-Man as featured artist here you know its more spoken words than singing. And so E-Man speaks about his love for music and his thanks to God for it. This is best in the 'Suedo Jazz Mix', on the flip side. The Jazz Mix is really worth the money with its 9 minutes of swinging rhythm, bass, saxophone and late night feeling it just oozes class.
