Derrick Carter @ Temple Fridays December 11, 2009

Derrick Carter (Classic - Chicago)

One of the pinnacles of Chicago house music's '90s wave, Derrick began DJ’ing at nine. Before long he became a strong presence in the city's underground dance scene. Derrick’s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz and more. Several mix albums have appeared, including Cosmic Disco on MixMag and Pagan Offering on Pagan. Carter has also founded two labels (Blue Cucaracha and Classic). Since then pioneering, innovative tracks and consequent critical acclaim have repeatedly marked Derrick out as once of the most important players in Dance music.
