After over ten years of work as a producer and nearly 20 years of making electronic music, Mr. Dé stepped from behind the mixing board to release his first album, confirming the fact that he had become one of most important figures in Detroit's burgeoning ghettotech scene. The producer's debut album, Electronic Funkyshit, showcased the Detroit artist's multi-dimensional production talents; beginning with some synth funk tracks, Dé then moves through other styles such as R&B, electro, P-Funk, booty, drum'n'bass, and rap. This seamless album stood as the first non-mix album on the shelves to showcase Detroit's ghettotech sound -- a sound drawn from a number of funk-based urban sounds, blending them together into a composite whole that emphasizes up-tempo booty shakin' over the high-brow styles of techno.
