DIGITAL BOOGIE & 95bfm IN ASSOCIATION WITH BECKS PRESENT
DERRICK MAY (detroit USA) TRANSMAT RECORDS
Hailed as one of the godfathers of techno, alongside Jaun Atkins & Kevin
Saunderson, Derrick May returns to New Zealand to show us again why he is referred
to as 'the innovator'. As one of Detroits most famous musical sons, May has helped
shape the sound known as Techno, and brought it to the attention of the world via his
own Transmat label, and with emotive compostions like 'nude photo',
'R-Theme'and the seminal 'strings of life' recording as Mayday and Rhythim is
Rythim.
Although his recording output has been limited during the past decade, Mays ablility
to rock a dance floor with his three deck mixing is legendary, and his recent remix of
DJ ROLANDO'S 'knights of the jaguar' track reminded the world that he has not lost
his flair for wrenching emotion from his music machines. A night not to be missed as
one of dance music's most illumnied heroes touches down in auckland for one special
date at FU
