Anyone who knows electronic music will recognize the name, Derrick May. With Juan Atkins, Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May is an acknowledged king of the "Detroit sound." His particular niche is techno, which just happens to be my favorite kind of EM. So when I heard this Master mix it up tonight (Saturday) at Detroit's CityFest street fair, it was like I'd died and gone to heaven. Yes, I'd heard him before but that had been at the start of my love affair with electronic music and I didn't have enough background or experience to know what I was hearing. But now I do. Oh yes, I do. And IMHO Derrick May is the best DJ I've ever heard. Sophisticated, soulful, imaginative, incredibly musical, unpredictable, indescribable. What I told him afterwards was that he put me in a Zen state and that was the truth. I just sat looking and listening with my mouth hanging open. I could barely dance, and that was a first! But his sound was so spiritual, even when the heavy bass beat pulsed through my veins, that it almost seemed sacrilegious to dance. Strange, huh? I also told him that the reason his sound touches people so deeply is that it comes from such a deep place within himself. And you know what? Derrick May is just as sweet as he is talented. What a gift to our world!
