Derrick May, one of the founding fathers of Detroit techno, is headed our way! After founding his own record label Transmat in 1986, he released the classic EP Nude Photo under the name of Rhythim Is Rhythim. That was followed by the release of the most influential house/techno song of all time Strings of Life in 1987. The popularity of these tracks helped spread the Detroit techno sound to Europe in the late 1980s and were instrumental in making Detroit the capital of techno. They continue to be anthems in the international techno/house scene. Since retiring the Rhythim Is Rhythim moniker in 1993, May has focused his attention on DJing and touring the world. After a long break in his output, he released the CDs {Mixed by Derrick May x Air} in 2010, Mixed by Derrick May × Air Vol.2 in 2011, and in 2012 he contributed Fact Mix 339 for Fact Magazine’s popular weekly mix series. His classics like Beyond the Dance (1989) and The Beginning (1990) are still as fresh as when they first came out. May was one of the first, and he remains one of the best.
