Indeed. Not heard any Derrick mixes for a while so this makes a
change. He plays that awesome Psychotic Synthesis track and, in this
mix, has a liking for that fusion of techno and guitars (not sure how
to describe this so it doesn't sound bad). It's not the tracks for me
so much as the way he plays stuff.
Anyway, only 30 mins in but it's already brightened my morning.
