The opening track from EXPLORE ME, Game Start represents the start of life.  

I was born in 1989, so this track uses a lot of sounds that were prevalent in songs of the '80s, as well as 8-bit video game sounds, since this was also the decade that the Nintendo Entertainment System (known as the Famicom in Japan) was released.

The picture shown for the cover art was taken a few hours after my birth.

Palpitations

When I first started using FL Studio, in addition to the usual Trance & Progressive House I am known for, I've also experimented with a style I call "ProgWave", a portmanteau of Progressive House & Synthwave. 

I've done remixes of many trance classics and more in this style.  It's been a while since my most recent, however.

1998 is a classic that should be no stranger to lovers of Electronic Music.  Like Cafe Del Mar & Age Of Love, it has withstood the test of time through various remixes over the years, including some by the likes Paul van Dyk, Ronski Speed, Alex M.O.R.P.H. & more.

It came out originally in its namesake year, but I've wondered.....What would 1998 sound like if it came out in 1988?  This remix strives to paint an idea.

Free Download, enjoy.

Binary Finary - 1998 (Randy Derricott Progwave Bootleg)

Endless Excuses

Nice to meet you. My name is Randy Derricott, an Autistic EDM DJ/producer & Pharmacy Tech based in Coral Springs, Florida (a suburb of Fort Lauderdale) by way of Richmond, Virginia.

Active since 2004, I mainly make & play Trance & Progressive House.  I also sometimes let my nerdy side show by playing what I call "Comicontronica" or EDM remixes/covers of songs from video games, anime & the like.

My adventures have had me perform at a number of venues throughout South Florida as well as some of the biggest conventions in the US, among which include Anime Iwai, Otakufest, MegaCon, Kirbiicon, Colossalcon Ohio & Ichibancon in North Carolina.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I put making music on the backburner to focus on my DJing adventures, both on Twitch and, once things eased, live shows.  I've recently decided to jump back into the music making pool again.  While I do have a Soundcloud with music I made under a past alias, I've decided to make a brand new Soundcloud, since I'll be using my real name going forward.

We inhabit a space somewhere on the outskirts of avant-jazz and punk rock, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who collaborate with friends old and new."

❤️ Thank you for buying music from independent artists! We need to pay our rent and electricity bills, feed our cats, buy food, car insurance, and all that other stuff too...You can buy our music on Bandcamp.
