Quentin Harris No Politics CD1

Born and raised in Detroit, Quentin Harris came of age inspired by many of the legends of his hometown. Motown, Prince, P-Funk and of course, early techno instilled in Harris, a love of all forms of music. Today, he is recognized as one of the leaders in the field of deep house. It has been said that his work re-vitalized what had become a saturated and tired genre. Indeed Harris resists the very notion of working within genre parameters.

At age 12 he took his first formal piano and trumpet lessons. At age 13, he visited a local recording studio, where he shortly thereafter commenced session work with an uncle. By age 14 he was performing live with his Aunts blues band. Fast forward to the early 90s and Quentin is, at the age of 20 in the studio working as a sessions musician with Aretha Franklin. Around the same time he entered into the world of hip hop culture and from 1993-1994 contributed regularly as a trumpeter at Maurice Malones seminal open mice sessions at The Hip Hop Shop on 7 Mile. These sessions provided a forum for a new generation of Detroit talent as Harris went tote a tote with then unknowns Emenim, Slum Village, Royce 59 and Proof. House music ran in parallel with these Hip Hop leanings as Quentin fed an open-minded vinyl addiction at Record Time store under the auspices of DJ / store manager Mike Huckaby. Ken Colliers legendary sets at Heavens further fuelled a passion for dance while his Hip Hop connections as producer of the New York Hip Hop outfit The Masterminds, brought him back and forth to New York. During these trips he discovered the Sound Factory, Sound Factory Bar, Be Yourself, Body& Soul and original Shelter. House music at this point, according to Harris, was much less niche orientated with tracks crossing over from scene to scene. Circa 1998 he moved to New York City full time and in 2001 positioned himself in New Yorks largest dance music store, Satellite Records
