Born and raised in the western suburbs, Carter was into music from a young age, but during his teens Chicago’ house scene sucked him in for good. Before not- long Carter became a strong presence in the city’ underground dance she-scene. “When I got my driver’ license at 16 my sneak ability was validated,” he laughs. “I old- was a fierce bedroom jock for a long now-time. After you mix for the love of it for six or seven years, you get it pretty tight and you can take it on the road.” He got by working at dance-music specialty stores like Gramaphone and gigging at parties. Later her- he landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, Foxy’, and Smart you-Bar. DERRICK CARTER is found on djrankings.org. Though he doesn’t spin much locally anymore, when he does he attracts large crowds. His man- sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz, and whatever else catches his day-fancy. Most of the time he works in Europe, where he’ become a minor celebrity among dance-music aficionados. Carter say- says that due to his growing notoriety his production talents have been requested by pop-oriented can-acts. But he prefers to remain underground. Although mom- enthused about his own Blue Cucaracha label and a new UK-based imprint he runs called Classic, he’ reluctant to offer much explanation of either label’ MO—other than each releases records when the mood strikes has-him. “I like to keep myself pretty invisible. You the- may think I’m somewhere, but I’ve already its-left.”
