DETROIT - When it comes to the dance music charts, Detroit native Quentin Harris seems to have wrapped things up. Harris, who is in mid-30s, lives in New York and is an integral figure in the house music scene.
He’s had a number of remixes that were dance chart hits, including Mariah Carey’s “Don’t Forget About Us” and Floetry’s “Superstar,” while his takes on India.Arie’s “Ready for Love ” and “Cloud 9″ for R&B singer Donnie have caught on in the club scene. On “No Politics” his first full-length album, released last fall, he solidified his stake as an innovator in deep-house territory, with a sound based heavily in programming but featuring added textures from the multi-instrumentalist. Long before he made the move to New York, Harris developed his talent during the mid-’90s in Detroit hip-hop circles.
