Fast Eddie



Fast Eddie
 


Fast Eddie aka Eddie Smith is an African American house music producer from Chicago, Illinois. Before his stint as a producer, he was a DJ that was considered one of the premier house DJs at the time.

He gained immense popularity during the heyday of Chicago House Music (1986-1988). During that time, he was spinning on WGCI and WBMX in Chicago. However, during that stint, he produced one of his first singles in collaboration with Kenny "Jammin'" Jason entitled "Can You Dance?" circa 1986.

In 1987, Eddie came out with other house tracks such as "The Whop" based on the dance of the same name. Also, Eddie left WGCI for WBMX for a short stint and then quit that to concentrate on producing.

In 1988, Eddie scored one of his biggest hits with "Acid Thunder" on the DJ International Label. "Acid Thunder" is regarded as a classic of the Chicago acid house genre.

However, it was the track "Hip House" which really increased his popularity. Eddie popularized the genre of Hip house (Essentially, rap over house beats) and produced several tracks afterward.

He scored several hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the late eighties and early nineties, including "Git On Up" (featuring Sundance), which spent a week at number one in 1989.

However, Eddie tried his hand at Gangsta Rap in 1990 by forming the group America's Most Wanted and many critics felt he should have stuck to his House Music roots. Later that year, he released "Make Some Noise."

Circa 1995, Eddie made two collaborations that are considered under the genre of "Ghetto House." The first of these is entitled "Booty Call" with DJ Sneak and the other is entitled "Pump It" with DJ Funk. Both songs gained a lot of airplay on Chicago radio and in clubs.
