Before long Derrick became a strong presence in ChicagoΒ΄s underground dance scene. "When I got my driverΒ΄s license at 16 my sneak ability was validated," he laughs. "I was a fierce bedroom jock for a long time. After you mix for the love of it for six or seven years, you get it pretty tight and you can take it on the road." Derrick got by working at danceβmusic specialty stores like Gramaphone and gigging at parties. later Derrick landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, FoxyΒ΄s, and Smart Bar.
Though he doesnΒ΄t spin much locally anymore, when he does he attracts large crowds. DerrickΒ΄s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, seamlessly incorporating oldβschool disco, soul, jazz, and whatever else catches his fancy. Most of the time Derrick works in Europe, where heΒ΄s become a major celebrity among danceβmusic aficionados. And the moneyΒ΄s a hell of a lot better there. "ItΒ΄s hard not to laugh on the occasions when youΒ΄ll make 20 times what you make in Chicago on a Saturday night, but here are also times when you do it just for the fun, like at home. So many people come up to me and say, Β΄Man, I had the worst day. My girlfriend left me, I locked my keys in my car, but you turned me for two hours, and that made me able to get up in the morning.Β΄ ThatΒ΄s the best thing going."
In 1988 Derrick, fellow DJ Mark Farina, and friend Chris Nazuka released an EP as the group Symbols & Instruments. The record had a strong influence on the burgeoning ambient techno movement in England. While it wasnΒ΄t a commercial success, it established Derrick as an international figure in the danceβmusic underground. Since then heΒ΄s been involved with a number of recording projects, firstly his solo project Sound Patrol under whom he released his first album Β΄Sweetened βNo LemonΒ΄ which exuded a soulfulness and lowβkey grittiness that resonated beyond the infectious grooves and made a departure from the machineβlike quality of the dance music fare of the time.
Since then the pioneering, innovative tracks and consequent critical acclaim have marked Derrick out as one of the most important players in dance music. Most notably through his more recent releases on Classic. His first release was as Rednail with Β΄I Think of YouΒ΄, followed by N? Pschidt and Hope under his own name. N? Pschidt combined woven scatting with sleepy minimal beats on Β΄Dreaming AgainΒ΄ and skilfully cast his own low, sexy drawl over his trademark Carter grooves to form Β΄Boompty Boomp ThemeΒ΄, described by Seven magazine as Β΄without doubt the slinkiest and downright funkiest track IΒ΄ve heard for a long time.Β΄ DerrickΒ΄s latest Classic release Β΄HopeΒ΄ is again causing a storm amongst DJs and press alike and his Classic album is eagerly awaited and expected for release sometime within the next year.
Derrick Carter is most definitely bringing the Boompty Boomp back to the dance floor!
