Reviews & Discussion
In my opinion, Chris Cowie is one of the most underated artists in electronic music industry. For his effort produced/remix more than 100 tracks over the past 10 years, covering so many generes:prog/trance/techhouse/techno/house, he already deserves much more attention than what he's getting. He's also the owner of 3 quality labels: hook/bellboy/panther, and the man behind the success of Danny Tenaglia, Helden etc..
And not only he's a good producer, Cowie's dj skill is just great. I recommend all you techhouse heads give it try to his cd: Best Behaviour.

However, as an artist, if you look for public recognition the worst thing you can do is recording under SIXTEEN different aliases. No wonder why anyone seems to ignore Chris, but not his work. When Jeff Mills, or Dave Clarke, or Dave Angel do something, we actually KNOW it's them. In this case, having so many aliases goes proportionally against the artist's popularity.
But I have to agree, his volume of work is MASSIVE.
