Derrick's interview in 5Mag, Chicago

[Your Name Here] — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:14:39 +0000

"...Sometimes I bug out because I've been buying and even playing records for longer than quite a few of these cats I play with now have been alive! Again, not a bad thing. New blood is needed and welcomed for sure. Just don't front like you're all that to me. I've seen all that, and you ain't it. Just because you have a residency somewhere doesn't put you in the running for legendary status..."

THEHOTLUNCH mix for Oki-Ni

THEHOTLUNCH by Derrick Carter by Oki-Ni on Mixcloud

The guys at Oki-Ni asked Derrick to make a special mix for their series. Check this out for special...

'Back in the '80s, WBMX radio here in Chicago used to play a LOT of mixes: there'd be the regular "Friday Night Live - Ain't No Jive Chicago Dance Party"; the standard Saturday night mixes from 10:00 - 4:00; the after work or rush hour mix; and my fav, "The Hot Lunch Mix".

Coming in at noon every weekday, it was a nice little bit of heat to break up the monotony at Walther Lutheran High School. I used to have a lunch period followed by study hall right around that time of the day, so I'd sneak and listen to it while either eating or pretending to do homework. The mixes were always friendly (since it WAS broadcast radio, there was no swearing). And they were usually more on the song and groovy tip than some of the more jacking stuff played at night or on the weekends.

Using that as my main focus, I decided to go on a disco & classics trip, which I think will work lovely if you want to listen to it while eating lunch at your desk, walking to get some grub, or just sitting on a bench and watching the rest of the world do its thing.

I hope y'all enjoy it.'
