This Ain't Chicago

Derrick Carter is one of the most highly-regarded house music artists of all time. Lauded by many as a DJ’s DJ, his flawless technical ability and party-minded sets, aimed squarely at the dancefloor, rank him among the top in the world. As a producer and remixer his intricate and unique records are instantly recognisable as his own; often awkward, sometimes unpredictable but always funky, his productions represent an extension of his individual character, both of which are celebrated with this new retrospective compilation.

For House Masters Derrick Carter, Derrick has selected those lesser-known records that demonstrate the breadth of his musical ability and depth of his house music heritage. Although hugely influential underground jams like ‘Squaredancin’ and ‘Where U At?’ may not have been commercial successes, but that’s not what Derrick is about. As Derrick puts it: “I'm shut out of the ‘hit making’, I'm exclusively about booty shaking”, and tracks such as ‘The Warrior’, ‘Tripping Amongst The Stars’ and ‘A Hope (Over U)’ are indicative of the groove and innate energy which lie at the heart of the very best Derrick Carter productions. 

Included here are no fewer than 15 previously unreleased cuts and edits which previously would only have been found in Derrick’s own personal record bag or CD wallet; this is the first time that hidden gems  and secret weapons such as the 16 minute funk epic of SoCalled’s ‘Richi’, The Innocent’s ‘Theme From The Blue Cucaracha’, DJ Bang’s ‘Hallelujah’ and his personal “private stock” reinterpretations of Freaks’ ‘Boiling Point’ and ‘Telefunky’ amongst others have ever seen either the light of day or have been available digitally.
