Leading purveyor of the “techno” genre, he and band of brothers Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, began their quest together in the early eighties. Music was their alterior motivation to the grimey streets of Detroit and their answer to the decrepit existence of such an industrial landscape. It was this and the soul of motown, parliament funk, and moody soundscapes that their music came alive and began to reach the world. A cutting edge dj and producer, Derrick continues to woo fans the world over.
May generally records under the name ‘Rhythim Is Rhythim’ and has produced many timeless Detroit Techno masterpieces including; ‘Nude Photo’ ‘Strings Of Life’ and ‘A Relic’.
Juan Atkins and Derrik May were also original members of Detroit’s Plus 8 Crew, with a handful of others including UR, They defined Detroit Techno and Inspired future generations to follow suit.
