SlothBoogie Guestmix #368 - Derek Russo

Derek Russo is a Brooklyn, NY based deejay, producer, promoter & educator. Russo has come to possess a unique sound culled from years of digging and DJing a variety of gigs. Bred in Washington, D.C. he spent 14 years in Colorado and was an integral component of the small but rock solid underground scene there. He’s now based in thriving Brooklyn, NY. His DJ sets can run across the board and is adept at delivering high-energy sets of Boogie, Funk, Balearic and Disco, next to deeper narratives combining House & Techno with leftfield excursions into more complex rhythms that blur those lines, finding the unique thread amongst it all, and always combining older gems with newer music. "I put a loose pile of records together and pressed record, the goal being to present a micro journey through different strands and moods of house and techno, old and new, mostly stuff I've acquired in the last year and some older favourites that I love. Recorded in my apartment in Brooklyn. Thanks for listening :)" Check out Derek's latest 'Club Cuckoo' EP on his own imprint, Broad Channel... it slaps! https://www.juno.co.uk/products/derek-russo-club-cuckoo/908938-01/
