rhythmofvision Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 i was going to suggest thisHis best known track, 'Strings Of Life' comes from these days, a demo tape he gave Frankie Knuckles to play in his club. It was Frankie who named the song. "It just went crazy," smiles Derrick. "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 bassline. It had never dawned on me that 'Strings' didn't have a bassline." Not that it needed one because like a lot of May's productions, in 'Strings' everything from the strings, the blips, the sequences, the keyboards and sounds all move to create rhythm. It's as if the funk has infected every part of the track so the whole thing jiggles and dances like a crazy bag of bones some shaman is waving over the dancefloor. His secret, he claims, is simple - he saves the drums for last. "80% of all my songs have always started with strings, it's like a mood, a frame of mind. I don't always end up using those strings but that's the way I start and from there I just build. I'm a metronome working kind of guy, I make the music to the metronome. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. The last thing I do is add the drums. Too many people use drums as a piece de resistance to their music. That's dumb. Drums are an accent. That's it. You should be able to make a track and not even use drums. You should be able to have so much power that you don't need drums."http://www.techno.de/mixmag/interviews/DerrickMay1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerjockey Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Underworld - Born Slippygood song tho i like 'dark & long' better only because if you listen close enuf it sounds like they're saying "enjoy the vagina". no joke - if you listen to it there's a good portion where the vocals sound like they're saying "enjoy... the vagina... enjoy... the vagina". it's also pretty cool when the song breaks and there's only one vocal sample and that's definitely saying "down down down downers down down downers".click here to listen to it:dark & longI have to agree with gabe tho - it's about impossible to pick out one track tho if I had to I would say PVD's remix of Humate's "Love Stimulation"love stimulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringent Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 way too many to list but one of my favs is Hi-Gate's "Caned & Unable" (original mix). The more I listened to it the more i realized how phat of a track it is. real bottom heavy with some crazy elements in the background.
