Derrick May

In the late 1980s, "Strings of Life," released from Detroit to the world, was a masterpiece that heralded the dawn of a new era. Under the name Rhythim Is Rhythim from his own label Transmat, he released numerous timeless masterpieces such as "Nudo Photo," "The Beginning," "Icon," and "Beyond the Dance," and together with Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, he is considered one of the originators of Detroit techno, exerting a tremendous influence on the global dance music scene. Greatly influenced by Chicago house legend Ron Hardy and the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, his innovative DJing style, established at the Music Institute, is unparalleled. Unaffected by trends and possessing a universal brilliance, he enjoys overwhelming support not only from techno fans but from all dance music fans.
