Any time Derrick Carter is in your city, he is a must see. One of those legendary DJs that just does what he always has, avoiding trends, yet somehow through skill and sheer enthusiasm remaining as essential now as he has been for the last 20 years. Carter is known for marathon sets that take in various styles of house music, and occasionally veer off into obscure disco classics, or a 80s pop hit in epic 12-inch dub form, in essence he just plays what suits the vibe.
Schooled from a young age at the peak of the Chicago house scene, Carter's first recording came out in 1987, yet it's as a DJ that rose to near celebrity status in the late 90s. Basically Carter takes you on a journey that can be, jackin', jumpin', or deep, but is always of absolute quality.
It's almost impossible not to get up and dance when Carter is on the decks, and thankfully those wise heads at Sandwiches have managed to secure his services on Friday, February 1. I'm sure this means a few Wellington peeps will be dusting off their dancing shoes for a good ol' house boogie, but Derrick Carter is DJ for anyone who loves music in general, and dancing, so make sure you leave this date free, it's not to be missed. Trust me.
