Felix Stallings, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Stallings’ youth was spent experimenting with electronic musical equipment. He taught himself keyboards by the age of 14, and a year later stepped into a studio for the first time. An early tape of the studio session had been passed on to the elder Pierre by a mutual playground acquaintance. Intrigued, he decided to record it properly, and from those sessions “Phantasy Girl” emerged based on the original keyboard motif from the demo tape. "Phantasy Girl became one of house music’s biggest early cult smashes. Felix went on to release a steady stream of dance music, establishing his name alongside that of Pierre, who remained his mentor. Numerous releases followed on all the major imprints: Strictly Rhythm Records, Gureilla Records (”Thee Dawn”), Nervous Records, D-Jax Up, Chicago Underground and Freetown. He also set up his own Radikal Fear Records imprint, which has released classic cuts by the likes of DJ Sneak, Armando, and Mike Dunn, and provided remixes for mainstream artists such as Diana Ross and Kylie Minogue. Under the title Thee Madkatt Courtship he also provided a long player for Deep Distraxion, while as Afrohead he proffered “In The Garden”, a classic cut, much revered by all sorts of DJs. After a lengthy break from the dance scene, Stallings returned in 1999 under his Thee Madkatt Courtship moniker with I Know Electrikboy
a classic cut you should all know, and love! slammin' 94 techno!
