For all in search of some quality house music hearkening back to classic
Chicago ish, this is going to be the release of the year (there's a reason
his label's called Classic!):
[from Green Galactic mailout]
Chicago house producer / DJ legend Derrick L. Carter releases his debut
artist album for the label he co-owns, Classic Recordings, putting an end to
the five year long wait for fans. The 15 track opus, 'Squaredancing In A
Roundhouse', features entirely fresh material alongside new versions of
recent releases, all of which are available on CD for the first time.
The album is a much-needed antidote to the current state of dance music. In
classic Derrick style, it's soothing, touching, funky, original and
'boompty'; all the things that make this man one of a kind. The album
perfectly encapsulates everything that DC 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'. The sheer musical diversity (and quality) looks set to
mark this album out as a benchmark in the history of House music.
Cheers
Philip
