Yes, although it were different people. I have said earlier, that inmy opnion, Derrick is an excellent producer, with an overwhelming influence on whoever worked for him on his label. Often, records by the same artists on other labels, dont come near to the quality and purism their stuff has on transmat. I see Derrick as a DJ, producer and artist, and have a great deal of respect for, whether he works with other people or not. Every artist has his or her own way of working, and this is Derrick's way. On some of his earlier records, he worked with Thomas Barnett (Nude photo, the dance), and later he worked with Kevin saunderson, Darryl Wynn (R-Tyme), Carl Craig (Drama), some guy who's name I forgot (shame on me) on Strings. A lot of edits on his records were done by a guy called Stoney, and there are more names i guess... I think most of the artists, that worked with Derrick, have taken their place in history and present. The most gifted of them are strong enough to continue on their own, others only worked in combination with Derrick and haven't done much since.
