Revoke, a new label set up by well-renowned diggers Anil Lal and Ben Leigh, looks at uncovering unreleased music from the past and releasing it as limited, white labels with no distribution companies, akin to the 90’s approach. After records from Derek Carr and JS Zeiter, their next offering sees the former initiate their mix series. In keeping with the style of his own output, Derek gives us an hour of uplifting, impeccably-mixed house and techno that works just as well in the bedroom as it would on the dancefloor. The mix is full of energy and packed with music from likes Fred P, Conforce and Convextion, as well as a couple of his own bits. Derek’s resurgence over the last few years has been great to see, and with forthcoming records on Why So Series and the new B12 offshoot FireScope Records, he’s certainly one to keep an eye out for.
