Headphone Highlights - Amp Fiddler (Muthas Of Invention, Strut, Detroit)
Genuine, Detroit, USA
For 45 year old Joseph 'Amp' Fiddler, it's been a lifelong journey of musical discoveries. After starting out in the group Enchantment, circa 1982 he became rather more enchanted with the music of Parliament and Funkadelic. Thanks to his hard work and determination it was only two years before George Clinton took him on as a band member. Having achieved this goal, he surveyed the tones and textures of electronic dance by working with artists as diverse as Maxwell, Jay Dee, Prince, and Moodymann. These collabos came out of a simple desire to help out and see cats fulfill their dreams, and in turn gave him the knowledge he needed to fast forward into the future of house music.
