Allegiant of the Detroit-via-Sheffield club sound and innovator of minimal electronic music, Irish producer Derek Carr has earned his status as a high-ranking official of modern deep house with releases all over the map, from Subwax to Craigie Knowes to his own Trident Recordings imprint. As such, Carr’s exclusive Bleep mix comes off as a perfect DJ set of interwoven rhythms, complexly layered textures and ingenious drop deferrals. Carr vibes off his own track ‘Arrival’ just as much as Bufo Bufo’s ‘Scrying Mirror’ or Iron Galaxy’s ‘Refining ‘Fire’, his steady melding of beats keeping the entire hour between the 120-130 bpm dancefloor-primed sweet spot.

On the back of my Armchair Acid mix, here's something a bit stronger   I did it a while back and thought it was on my Soundcloud but couldn't find it.  So i thought i'd upload it again.

I was hoping for a tracklist myself as there's some absolute belters on this one.  Quite a few obscure german bits as well..

My first live modular jam with Acid Lab M303 - a Roland TB303 replica in Eurorack format. In the video on YouTube, I've noted most of the other modules & vintage synths playing in this song as they're making their appearance. https://youtu.be/riM5JloEB4g

Modular Session #11 - Acid Lab M303

This mix was for Murf’s Mong Trax series which is available here and is well worth checking out.  A supreme selector and a true DJ in every sense of the word - You can find him here - https://www.mixcloud.com/murfmongtrax/

I’m upping it here to make it downloadable and for any people following me might not be on farcecrack and I think its a pretty. Decent mix.

Here’s the blurb that I wrote to go with it 

When you don't ever pre-plan mixes, they rarely end up the way you thought they would.  This one, for example, was meant to be pure deep house and no acid..….but when I'm frantically trying to find records
some just stand out. Ones that stand out have to be played next, it's the law.  This mix was meant to be deep house but it mutated into something else.  Im ok with the final product. I got reacquainted with a few oldies and bonded with some new ones that I haven't played much yet.  Is it deep house, i don’t know..i don't care..your perception of deep varies...

I hope you like it

Any action, in the fullness of time, sinks to nothingness. So let's all have a disco.
