New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ rhythmism) For our next Basic NYC bash at (le) Poisson Rouge, Basic NYC is excited to host one of our all-star DJs and infamous out-of-townguests. Chicago's legendary ambassador of boompty-boomp house music, one of the world's most accomplished producers and DJs, and an all-around party starter par excellence DERRICK CARTER is coming back to NYC on Saturday, October 1st bringing his full assortment of beats to LPR for the very first time. We couldn't imagine a better venue to showcase Derrick's inimitable sound and style, and his unmatched ability to turn crowds into undulating mobs of dancing bodies. We're calling this event DERRICK DOES MANHATTAN, and it's a Gotham-sized night of music and fun with Mr. Carter going big on the beats and bass.
It�s been a whirlwind year for Derrick Carter, who continues to be one of the world's most in-demand DJs on the decks. This summer saw him obliterating dancefloors all across the globe, with jaw-dropping sets at a huge range of parties and venues. In Ibiza alone he played the notorious Circo Loco at DC-10, Pete Tong's Friday at Pacha, and Together at the massive Space. In recent weeks, he returned to London's legendary Fabric, played at England's Bestival on the Isle of Wright, and gigged in Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and more. In the studio he's been just as busy in 2011, cranking out huge remixes for Green Velvet's classic La La Land, re-launching his acclaimed Classic
Music Co. label, and working with a number of independent underground labels. And that doesn't include his constant stream of private re-edits and exclusive tracks he makes just for his sets, loads of which we'll be privileged enough to hear at
LPR on Saturday.
Mixing up a storm behind the decks, Derrick's sets are anything but predictable. With his signature sound as his foundation the bass-thumping, boompty-boompty beats teased together with notes of jazz, R&B and funk Carter drops everything from disco to techno into the mix. Flawlessly blended together, his music captures everything great about house music and it's
Chicago roots. As a DJ who feels that he's at his best in an intimate space like (le) Poisson Rouge, we're eagerly anticipating his debut set on Saturday. His last two New York appearances have been at District 36, sharing the decks with Mark Farina, and
this is his first solo set since he crushed Sullivan Room last Halloween.
Joining Derrick on the decks will be one of New York's local house crews the SOUP posse, with residents Chris Love, AB
Logic and Nick Jagger setting things off. These guys are all Basic NYC regulars and will be getting the house music going in style. Basic NYC's Sleepy & Boo are also on hand, having just presented a spectacular night of deep house with San Francisco's
Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw and Aya at (le) Poisson
Rouge on Saturday. They're in the midst of a busy Fall schedule, with their return to Sullivan Room this Friday, three dates at Roseland with deadmau5, Cielo and much more on the way, including Mark Farina's LPR debut on Saturday October 15th. Derrick's ready to do Manhattan this Saturday and we'll see you there for the ride.
