This week on the pod: A mix straight from Chicago's Boompty HeadQuarters by Derrick Carter.



Is there a name more synonymous with Chicago house music than Derrick Carter? You might be able to make a case for Green Velvet or Felix Da Housecat, but Carter surely belongs in the conversation. Through his productions, remixes and DJ sets, he was one of the most important figures in the Windy City's mid-'90s resurgence.

Like his contemporaries, Carter hasn't slowed down a bit: After a stellar run of exactly 100 releases with his Classic label (an imprint run with Luke Solomon that is set to open its doors once again later this year), Carter focused his attention on DJing and production, but perhaps most of all remixing—as you'll hear on his RA podcast. "I've been working on loads of stuff but it seems as if it takes forever to get released," he tells us. That much is clear: Carter's RA podcast is all him, all boompty, all house, all nü pschidt. It's a bouncy mix that'll have you wondering what all those labels are waiting for...
