Recently Derek and his production partner Maxim Laskavy joined Abel Ramos and Satoshi Tomiie in remixing Ultra Nate's "Party Girl" a record that went to number one on the Beatport charts. His latest release "Tambor De Yemaya" a Beatport Exclusive Release out now on Street King is already receiving heavy support worldwide and is featured on the King Street Sounds MIAMI 2012 compilation. Russell Deeks of International DJ magazine writes "A Latin-infused stone-cold killer chuggin' bass-y house groove" Derek was classically trained in music composition and jazz piano performance in his hometown of Miami, a town that is well versed in the hedonism of dance music. He is not a DJ. He is a highly respected musician who dispenses heavy doses of groove-filled orchestration fueled by a delicate sense of sound and nuance for people who want to lose their minds in a moment of abandon.
