RAR #004 [derek scott - tomorrow EP]
“After a nice summer break, and a successful release from Yan Ots, Random Access is ready to come back full strength with our next offering which is from west coast techno veteran Derek Scott. Derek Scott aka The Rhythmist is from San Jose, California and has set standards with his releases on commercial labels: Silent Records, Trax Cafe Recordings, and Resource Records. and has also delivered goods on netlabels such as; Seedsound and his own very well respected Dobox Recordings. Dereks production is strongly influenced by the classic Detroit techno sound and offers pure musical abstractness with deep and shuffled grooves, layered with abstract textures, and funky, disjointed melodies that one could say has has a futuristic quality to it. This one is entitled the ‘Tomorrow EP’ and as the name suggests; each track fuses futuristic sounds with hinted retro style percussional arrangements. Derek just comes with his usual hard driven, straight to the point, in your face, hard nose techno. So go grab this foot-stomper/head-banger if you dare. This is coffee with no cream or sugar folks.”
