Derrick May mix for BBC Radio

Detroit techno legend Derrick May was invited to do a show for BBC Radio’s 6 Mix last Saturday evening. The 2hr show is in 3 parts, the first part is a Hi Tek Soul Mix, then he plays some all time favourites (Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Boards of Canada) and then the 2nd hour is a club style mix.

You can listen on the BBC site for this week, the more hits it gets the more chance there is that he’ll be asked to do it again, so spread the word!

    this was nice to listen to yesterday evening while cooking dinner. just saw him spin live recently and he played some of the same records during the club style portion. also interesting to hear him wax on about the history on some of these records.
