Rotate w/Tyree Cooper (MOOD MUSIC | PEARLS BOOKING) & Eddie Fowlkes (Cityboy)

Tyree Cooper was at the forefront of the House revolution. His contribution to Hip House widened the appeal of House music and brought the Urban vibe of Hip Hop firmly into the House. The first 12″ – “I Fear The Night” (with female vocalist ‘Chic’) – promptly became an underground classic in Chicago. Other hits followed: “Acid Over”(1988), “Turn Up The Bass” (1988/89),”‘Let’s Get Hyped” (feat. Kool Rock Steady, 1989), “Let the Music Take Control”(1989) and “Hardcore Hip House”(1989). That was the time when Tyree Cooper created a crossover version of house music together with his friend and fellow DJ ‘Fast Eddie’ Smith which was known as Hip House. It then caused a furor on the Hip Hop scene, while today rap vocals are a common feature of the commercial house scene. Tyree Cooper is now regarded as one of the most influential artists in the international House scene. True to the scene Tyree still lives in Chicago spreading his roots also in Europe’s exciting capitol Berlin – doing what he does best: spinning and traveling to Europe for gigs and producing new tracks on his own record label Supa Dupa Records.
