The Original Sankeys Soap Saturday night between years 2001-2006, for those that liked to explore a different sound to the notorious Tribal nights, Redlight brought many a guest and feel good sleaze to Saturday nights in Sankeys. Now due to public demand the red light returns for a one off special this may bank holiday with one of its most favourite guest during these years, chicago legend Mr Derrick Carter who will be performing a four hour set.
So if you like straight out boomin house music, sleaze and red lights this will be the night for you.
One of the pinnacles of Chicago house music's '90s wave, Derrick Carter began DJ’ing at the age of nine, spinning disco records at family reunions. Born and raised in the western suburbs, Carter was into music from a young age, but during his teens Chicago's house scene sucked him in for good. Before long Carter became a strong presence in the city's underground dance scene. "When I got my driver's license at 16 my sneak ability was validated," he laughs. "I was a fierce bedroom jock for a long time. After you mix for the love of it for six or seven years, you get it pretty tight and you can take it on the road." He got by working at dance-music specialty stores like Gramaphone and gigging at parties. Later he landed regular DJ stints at Shelter, Foxy's, and Smart Bar.
Derrick’s sets are rooted in house, but he freely travels outside club tastes, seamlessly incorporating old-school disco, soul, jazz and whatever catches his fancy.
