Eddie "Flashin'" Fowlkes (b. 1962) is a
techno DJ from
Detroit,
Michigan, influential to the early
Detroit techno scene.
[1]Fowlkes began his career as a DJ in high school, and attended business college briefly before turning full-time to a career in music. He was a DJ at Detroit's Music Institute, and released his first record, the single "Goodbye Kiss", for Juan Atkins's label, Metroplex Records, in 1986.[1] Later singles followed on KMS Records, 430 West, and Play it Again Sam, before his debut full-length appeared in 1991.
As Detroit techno became the subject of more interest from European DJs and producers, Fowlkes signed with German label Tresor, with whom he released several full-length albums. His only charting single in the U.S. was "Let Us Pray", which hit _21 on the U.S. Dance Club Play charts in 1995.[2] Eddie is responsible, at least in part, for the techno act The Martian.
