Derrick Carter

One of the pinnacles of Chicago house music's 90s wave, Derrick Carter began DJing at the age of nine, spinning disco records at family reunions. Born and raised in the Western suburbs, Carter was into music from a young age, but during his teens Chicago's house scene sucked him in. Carter became a strong presence in the city's underground dance scene. He got by working at dance-music specialty stores like Gramaphone and playing gigs at parties. Later he landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, Foxy's, and Smart Bar. Though he does not spin much locally anymore, when he does he attracts large crowds. Most of the time he works in Europe, where he's become a minor celebrity among dance-music aficionados.

Derrick’s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside the club taste, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz and whatever catches his fancy.

His debut single Love Me Right appeared in 1987, just after he graduated from college. Another single appeared in 1989, but the Chicago house scene faded soon after, leaving Carter and other artists with few to play for except themselves. Thanks in part to Cajmere's and Felix Da Housecat's respective labels (Relief, Radikal Fear), Chicago house made a comeback during the mid 90s and began to offer impressive newcomers in addition to the old guard. Carter, recording for the Organico label, returned with several singles and an album as Sound Patrol. In 1995, he began working with a live band as the Sound Patrol Orchestra.

Carter prefers to remain underground. Although enthused about his own Blue Cucaracha label and a new UK-based imprint he runs called Classic, he is reluctant to offer much explanation of either label's MO, other than each releases records when the mood strikes him.
