Robot 1001001?
Born in Glasgow, Derek doesnt really remember a time when he wasnt listening to music. His earliest memories include listening to seminal musical blockbusters such as Popeye The Sailor Man, the Alice In Wonderland Soundtrack, and Peter And The Wolf.
The 70s Glam melded into Zeppelin and progressive rock, exploded into Punk in 76 when he started skipping high school to be a sound engineer/roady with several Scottish Punk Bands. At the end of the 70s/early 80s he followed the New Romantics, drifted into synth and power pop, then techno and The Sound Of Sheffield kept the energy going until he became unglued by the Madchester/Acid House eruptions of the late 80s and early 90s. During this time he pretty much ended up living at the legendary Sub Club..
Moving to the states in 94, he found the club scene radically different and attended few parties, preferring to infiltrate house parties with import CDs collected on his trips back home to the UK or Europe, while squatting at Portlands infamous Satyricon.
At the turn of the millennium he decided that a couple of decks and a mixer might be a bit of a larf and the chance at last to participate again in music after a hiatus of almost 25 years.
He and partner the perfect cyn formed Spandecks Syndicate with the mission to cause trouble and bring their ADD addled mix of techno, disco trash,and dancefloor bear-traps to unsuspecting venues all over the States.
Their current projects include Phonique which is re-establishing the underground sounds of techno in Portland, featuring live and DJ performances by such artists as Lowfish,Pheek,Someone Else, Copy, Nordic Soul,Jerry Abstract, Kriss Moon and many others. They can be found in clubs and lounges all over the PNW and have been found perfect compliments to artists such as Audion,T.Raumschmiere, Hawtin, Sean Q6, Three, and Damien Lazarus.Hes a Leo, likes long walks on the beach and taunting hippies. He would like to say thank you to John Peel and Johnny Walker (the DJ!!).
