FWD Productions

FWD Entertainment

A forward thinking collaboration between long time friends Chris Detlefsen and Chuck D. Tampa Bay Area born and raised, Chris's background was fed by mid 80's music and the early 90's industrial/new wave scene of Tampa and Orlando, Florida. Orlando in the early to mid 90's was known as having the best underground scene on the planet. Local and international DJs like Andy Hughes, Sandy, Baby Anne, D-Xtreme, Icey, Huda Hudia, Chris Fortier, Kimball Collins, Dave Cannalte, RITM, Dave Seaman , John Digweed, Nick Warren, Sasha and the list goes on - contributed to the scene with upfront music at venues that were at capacity every weekend. Moving to South Carolina in 1996 for a change, Chris acquired a set of decks in 1998 and crossed paths with Chuck D in the Spring of 1999. Chris started collecting records and has been playing ever since. Playing as a hobby and live on occasion, Chris has decided to give back to the scene which has been so good to him over years by teaming up with Chuck D and together forming FWD Entertainment.
