Eric Hoegemeyer is a producer, musician, and composer. His compulsive sense of rhythm and tone has resulted in collaborations with innovative artists in a wide variety of genres. Equally comfortable behind a drum kit or a mixing console, he is constantly in search of both futuristic and time-tested methods of composing and recording.
His career began as a touring/session drummer/midi programmer, which branched into engineering and producing at the legendary Rustbelt Studios in Detroit. While there, he produced and played multiple instruments on Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey's latest record, mixed and programmed for Kevin Saunderson's Inner City, as well as producing, engineering and mixing a plethora of records ranging from multi-platinum selling Hip-Hop artists to obscure Irish Folk.
