5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago's finest rips it up! 27 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Renowned for his fiercely individual and puritanical take on house music, Derrick Carter returns with his first full mix joint since 99's 'Cosmic Disco'. Once again the emphasis is on deep, funky sounds, and a fantastically brave mixing ethic which often sees two or three records played over each other for minutes at a time - Carter certainly isn't one from the British super dj school of boring, flat, beat mixing. Theres no surprise at Derrick's choice of sound - funky, jacking Chicago house, with a plethora of laid-over acapellas and tricks. He shows little compromise to commerciality or the 'big choons' of the moment - his choice of records is markedly original - with fellow Chicago hero Paul Johnson one of the few recognisable producers in the mix (at least if you do your clubbing in England anyway). Overall, this is a fantastically funky, soulful mix, with Carter at the top of his game - showing many of his British 'superstar' counterparts how a REAL deejay rocks it. See you at remedy D!.

5.0 out of 5 stars About Time Too! 25 July 2002
Format:Audio CD
What a wonderful journey Mr Carter takes us on in this long awaited example of quality house music. From the fabulous vocals of Shawnee Taylor of Money Chocolate's "Keep the Love" the music takes a darn right funky twist into saxaphones and booty shakin toe tappin beats that will bring a smile to anybodys face. Including a detour through a personal favourite of mine by way of Appleseed's "Pimpin in Sao Paolo" and some latin funky beats which you can imagine pumping from the systems at Pacha in Ibiza such as "Intention" by Mel Hammond I can only have one bad thing to say about "About Now"........... it simply is not long enough and leaves you pinning for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Carter not on top form... but still good! 14 Jun 2004
Format:Audio CD
Derrick Carter is undoubtedly one of THE best house DJs in the world, now or ever. But even legends and gods can have an off day, as this CD shows! Whilst his tune selection is solid as usual, there is very little of the usual EQ trickery he often employs to mind-blowing effect, and the vibe of the tracks is fairly similar all the way through the mix; DC is at his best when continually shifting through emotions and styles of house (see his 'Many Shades of Cajual' and Mixmag 'Cosmic Disco' mixes for the proof!) His mixing is not up to his usual flawless standards and it gets pretty messy at one point when some beat echoing goes a bit Pete Tong!!! Still, even performing below his best, Carter blows most other DJs out of the water, and is definitely worth purchasing if you are a fan. Standout tracks include Somore 'I Refuse', RaSoul 'Get Down Wid Yo Bad Self' and his own remix of 2nd Shift's 'Somethin Else'.
