Derrick MayTechno architect and house music patriarch Derrick May is the unrivalled mastermind behind such pioneering guises as Rhythim is Rhythim and Mayday. Revered for creating and shaping Detroit’s legendary aural terrain – alongside eminent contemporary Kevin Saunderson and fellow Triptych 08 contender Juan Atkins – May’s bass-laden, synth-twisting, genre-defining genius surfaced in early techno masterworks, “Nude Photo” and “The Dance”. But it was 1987’s colossal “Strings of Life” (as Rhythim is Rhythim) that truly secured May’s prominence within the dance music realm. Inspired by the likes of George Clinton, Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk – and responsible for one of the greatest remixes of all-time (Sueno Latino’s “Sueno Latino”) – May continues to narrate, update and arouse the boundaries of electronic music.
