Soul Designer

Real Name:
Fabrice Ligny
Profile:
Fabrice Lig was born in 1972 in Charleroi, Belgium, 50 km from Brussels. At 16 he started collecting records, subsequently landing DJ gigs at small parties in the area. Two years later Fabrice began to extend his creativity into the realm of production, and began building his own studio. It was around this time that he spearheaded underground projects such as Interwaves. Since the release of this first EP, Fabrice has produced many other underground projects under a slew of guises (see discography), making something of a name for himself. His remix for e-dancer aka Kevin Saunderson makes him, in the words of Mad Mike (UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE) "a part of Detroit music's history" by being the first white producer to record on the mythical Detroit label KMS, and the first double groove recording from NSC. Fabrice is also the first Belgian artist to have remixed Laurent Garnier (on the single "Greed", other remixes by Dave Clarke and Avril) and one of the few whose releases are sold all around the world. Under the Soul Designer moniker, he became the first F COM artist from Belgium. His first album “Walking On a Little Cloud” was acclaimed by the international press from Europe, UK to USA, and he is now considered as one of the finest Deep & Melodic techno producers. Fabrice Lig's numerous dancefloor-oriented & Detroit influenced has been released on big amount of labels all across the world.
