6 Mix – 2010-05-02 – Derrick May

May 4th, 2010  | Categories: 6 Mix, 6 Music, electro

6 Mix celebrates the May Day weekend with a brand new mix from techno pioneer Derrick May. Derrick – best known for his 1987 dance anthem Strings of Life under the name Rhythim Is Rhythim – has been an iconic name on the techno scene for over twenty years, DJing worldwide to a devoted fan base. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, May’s work – alongside fellow DJs Juan Atkins and Inner City’s Kevin Saunderson – has provided the catalyst for a number of producers worldwide. In his latest 6 Music show Derrick plays a selection of tunes which have influenced and inspired him including tracks by Brian Eno, Peven Everett and Model 500. There’s also a brand new ‘Mayday’ club mix featuring hot new material from his label – Transmat Recordings – and a selection of tracks of Derrick’s favourite album of 2010 so far; Gil Scott Heron’s ‘I’m New Here.’.

Tracklist coming soon …
