A mix that journeys through the various sounds of house music and what my sound is when playing out at various events and parties. I try to convey what you can expect if you catch me out live. Constantly moving through spectrums of this beautiful thing we've all come to love... House Music. Deep, driving, funky, soulful, a bit techy. Never linear.

Brooklyn-based and Washington D.C.-born, Derek is lauded for his ability to adapt seamlessly to most any type of gig while still displaying his signature style. With over 2 decades of experience, he's equally comfortable playing lower bpm, eclectic opening sets, to banging out house and techno in a dark basement, to disco and funk party jams on a sunny rooftop. 
As a producer, he has released on Make Mistakes, Perimeter Junk and his own label, Broad Channel. In addition, he throws an underground party in New York called Xoloft.

I like music.   I DJ.   

There are "DJs" and then there are DJs. The DJ's DJ. 

Instead of some long boring bio, I encourage you to check out some mixes. Hopefully they speak for themselves as I'm a much better communicator through music.
