The atmosphere at Sandwiches was electric, with a packed, elated and hungry crowd revving up Friday night. DJing since the incredible age of nine, the Chicago-born house legend that is Derrick Carter proved his top quality status yet again.
His innovative style, and ability to mix with perfection, allows Carter to bust out a huge variety of funky tracks. Freshly warmed up by the antics of Monkey Business, the crowd bounce and groove to the rollercoaster ride of Carter. Spinning up a number of genres with Carter’s effortless ability, fusing in soul, jazz, disco and any other crazy buzz that he is on. There is a moment when a carnival vibe beckons, and then back spinning into an almost loony tune cartoon groove. Carter has lots of fun with his set, his unpredictability is refreshing – he knows what will get the crowd going. Sexy vocals blaze out and the dance floor is banging; the room is heating up. The mood gets deeper, and everyone is grooving to the underground sounds of solid house.
The mix of gritty beats to playful chords has an addictive quality and everyone’s waiting to see what he is capable of next. The crowd get noisy and Carter cheekily picks up the pace. His pioneering new tracks are rocked out and greeted with a welcome buzz, reinforcing the fact that he is both an amazing DJ and producer.
Europe has been spoilt. It was wicked to have Carter on our shores. He may like to keep a low profile, sticking to his underground roots, but after that high class set you know his music speaks for itself. Keeping it real – Carter is indeed a rhythm machine.
