    Born and raised in the western suburbs of the Windy City, Derrick L. Carter was enveloped by House music from its nascent beginnings. Derrick nurtured his love for House music working at legendary dance music specialty stores like Gramaphone, and slots at warehouse parties across Chicago. His early sets, whilst rooted in House, seamlessly incorporated old-school disco, soul and jazz, and he soon developed a trademark sound that rewrote the rulebook and would influence a new breed of Chicago DJ's. This unique and innovative DJ style soon began to attract a loyal fan base, and it wasn't long before Derrick was DJing in every corner of the world – earning him the reputation as the Ambassador for the new generation of Chicago house. Derrick is blessed with an ungodly skill of being able to play the most unlikely records in a creative, unorthodox style, taking that trademark Chicago sound to a whole new level. Derrick found a home away from home in Europe, especially in Britain where he's become a major celebrity among dance-music aficionados – the DJ's favourite DJ and the discerning House lovers DJ of choice.

    However, it's not just Derrick's deck-wizardry that has earned him so much respect. It's also his larger than life personality and affable character that endear people to him and ensures that the dancefloors are always packed when Derrick's in town.

    It was only natural that Derrick would take his infinite knowledge of the music he loved, and turn his hand to production. Derrick released his first solo album under the Sound Patrol monike - the album exuded a soulfulness and low-key grittiness that resonated beyond the infectious grooves. From these early beginnings, Derrick has recorded under a plethora of pseudonyms such as Rednail, Oneiro and Tone Theory.

    Since then the pioneering, innovative tracks and consequent critical acclaim have marked Derrick out as one of the most important players in dance music. Derrick forged a close friendship with fellow DJ Luke Solomon that lead to the birth of Classic Recordings. Derrick upped sticks from Chicago to Barnet, London during the labels formative period.

    Classic developed from a pioneering, underground boutique label, to one of the most cutting-edge, highly- respected House labels ever, with a massive worldwide following. Alongside Luke, it was Derrick's musical and conceptual input that has resulted in Classic becoming one of the leaders in the world of house. Derrick's standing allows him to A&R and sign some of the most groundbreaking, original tracks and artists – from Matthew Herbert and DJ Sneak to Tiefschwarz and Isolée.

    Not forgetting Derricks own critically acclaimed album 'Squaredancing In A Roundhouse', the album perfectly encapsulates everything that Derrick is about – from the awe-inspiring, old school Chicago anthems 'If I...' and 'A Hope', through the sassy, 1920's inspired 'Do You Believe' and the title track, to the new-wave jackin' grooves of 'Where U At?' and 'Rhythm Machine'. The album also showcases Derrick's immense musical talent through the melodic, ethereal styles of 'All Dreams Collide' and 'While Corey Slept', to the tongue-in-cheek nitrous rush of 'Friends'. If you get a chance try and catch one of the greatest DJ’s of all time at Musiklab.
