If the ideal greatest hits collection captures the fundamental truth about an artist, Eric Kupper’s “A Lifetime In Dance Music” highlights an enviable catalog, extraordinary production skills, and ultimately reveals a passionate master of house music. This 24-track compilation celebrates Eric Kupper's vast body of work and renowned career, and is a collector's edition that allows us to once again recognize his influence and his golden touch as a remixer for over five decades.

This second volume of “A Lifetime In Dance Music” presents another selection of Kupper's best productions and remixes for big names such as Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind & Fire, Curtis Mayfield, and Moloko. Emblematic of iconic nightlife and reflecting the magnitude of his work for pivotal artists like Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor, and Donna Summer, this definitive collection is a reminder of the astonishing combination of power, control, and agility that Kupper demonstrates in the studio as a producer and remixer.

As a songwriting and production partner to the late godfather of house music, Frankie Knuckles, Kupper is a true musician and multi-instrumentalist who has played, remixed, produced, or engineered on over 2,000 records spanning a wide range of contemporary musical genres. Listening closely to Kupper's sophisticated and impeccable production style, which has accumulated an unparalleled catalog, transports the imagination back to past musical decades.

His work in the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s, especially with Def Mix Productions and remixes for genre heavyweights like Alison Limerick, Ce Ce Peniston, Inner City, and Frankie Knuckles himself, is considered part of the foundations upon which house music as we know it today stands.
