Derrick May

“Along with Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May is viewed as one of the founding fathers of Techno – a genre which has for a quarter of a century been constantly revolutionising electronic dance music and clubbing culture. His seminal track ‘Strings of Life’ changed the game and sounds as fresh in DJ sets today as it did in 1987. In the words of the late, great Frankie Knuckles: “it just exploded. It was like something you can’t imagine, the kind of power and energy people got off that record when it was first heard. Mike Dunn says he has no idea how people can accept a record that doesn’t have a baseline.”
Having taken influence from the likes of Parliament, Gary Numan and Kraftwerk, while helping to create a platform which made it possible for The Prodigy, Carl Craig and Richie Hawtin to make the music they have done – expect two hours of the premium music as Derrick returns to 6 Music for the next show in his 6 Mix Residency.”

“6 Mix celebrates Dance Pioneers throughout May, continuing with the originator of Detroit techno, Derrick May.
Throughout the month of May, 6 Mix is shining a light on a selection of Dance Pioneers. So far in the series Grandmaster Flash, Sasha and Ed Banger’s Busy P have taken to the 6 Music decks and the shows continue this week with the originator of Techno, Derrick May.
May – best known for his 1987 dance anthem Strings of Life under the name Rhythm Is Rhythm – has been an iconic name on the techno scene for over twenty years, DJing worldwide to a devoted fan base and pioneering the scene’s distinct, hard sound. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, May’s work – alongside that of Juan Atkins and Inner City’s Kevin Saunderson – has provided a catalyst for a number of producers worldwide.”
