Before long Derrick became a strong presence in Chicago´s underground dance scene. "When I got my driver´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 dance–music specialty stores like Gramaphone and gigging at parties. later Derrick landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, Foxy´s, and Smart Bar.
Though he doesn´t spin much locally anymore, when he does he attracts large crowds. Derrick´s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old–school disco, soul, jazz, and whatever else catches his fancy. Most of the time Derrick works in Europe, where he´s become a major celebrity among dance–music aficionados. And the money´s a hell of a lot better there. "It´s hard not to laugh on the occasions when you´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, ´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.´ That´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 wasn´t a commercial success, it established Derrick as an international figure in the dance–music underground. Since then he´s been involved with a number of recording projects, firstly his solo project Sound Patrol under whom he released his first album ´Sweetened –No Lemon´ which exuded a soulfulness and low–key grittiness that resonated beyond the infectious grooves and made a departure from the machine–like 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 ´I Think of You´, followed by N? Pschidt and Hope under his own name. N? Pschidt combined woven scatting with sleepy minimal beats on ´Dreaming Again´ and skilfully cast his own low, sexy drawl over his trademark Carter grooves to form ´Boompty Boomp Theme´, described by Seven magazine as ´without doubt the slinkiest and downright funkiest track I´ve heard for a long time.´ Derrick´s latest Classic release ´Hope´ 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!

FULL LYRICS (though not paced correctly, commas/pauses in wrong places etc)
As I stop, and take the time
To inventory, the inside of my mind
I realize, it’s not as full as it used to be.
With images of justice, or designs of liberty
The world has changed, or is it me that’s new?
A different set of morals from a different set of clues
So still I wonder, is this all there is to life?
The ever changing cycles, of a world that’s damp and ripe
There must more, yeah in my heart I hold to this
I’ve known the joy of love and I’ve seen the peace and bliss
But as you know, all things must end, except the need for faith
And the spirit that’s within to keep you strong
When it seems you're 'bout to break
Just call upon the strength within and plant it as your stake
Move forward with power, program yourself to feel
With depth enough to know what’s up and heart to sense the real
Where you at?
And now a picture for the frame we set aside
Below the bassline a secret place awaits for us to hide
To pass the time as the war goes on-and-on
Post-apocalyptic sunset, Post-apocalyptic dawn
But just the thought of the world we once possessed
A place that wasn’t ours is just a house with an address
A false existence, wrought with fear and mistrust, a life inside a box
No life inside of us.
Find your soul, and use your inner voice,
The road less traveled, is now the path of choice.
Realize with time comes change
New attitudes, new values, priorities rearranged
Move forward with power, program yourself to seek
Wear your shield of justice, wield your sword of liberty
Move forward, move now, program yourself to feel
With depth enough to know what’s up and heart to sense the real
Where you at?
There must be more.... more... more..
Is this all there is?
Is this it?
There must be more.... more... more..

Some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in a dance track. Underrated for sure.
