Detroit’s finest Derrick May has a history of combining a myriad of styles, from disco to house to mind-numbing techno, over the course of a two hour set, and this mix, recorded at Escape, Amsterdam in 1996, is an example of the maestro at work.
In this now 21-year-old mix, the ‘Belleville Three‘ member blends Donna Summer, Surgeon, Gene Farris, Jeff Mills, Basement Jaxx, Moodymann and a plethora of artists into 102 minutes of gloriousness.
None other that Joris Voorn posted this mix to his SoundCloud page [thanks Joris!] a few years back, saying, “Here’s the tape that made me wanna be a DJ. […] Since my early DJ days, I consider Derrick May as a huge inspiration, and in particular this DJ set.”
High praise indeed, but in this instance well deserved…
