Derrick May Test Pattern this Friday

As many of you may know, every Friday night, WZBC does a one hour focus on a single artist or label or scene or category or maybe some other constraint that hasn't yet been imagined. One poor DJ gets stuck in the studio for an hour racking his or her brain for the best or rarest of what-have-you.

On April 11 at 6PM, Test Pattern presents the ever-pugnacious innovator; head of the Metroplex subsidiary Transmat Records; two-time organizer of Movement: Detroit Electronic Music Festival; resident DJ at The Music Institute in Detroit; and former radio host: the one and only Derrick May!*

God, I can barely fit the marketing hype into an hour!

Anyway, there will be music from across Mr. May's long career from 1987 on up to the present (well the past year anyway); including both classics and rarities; co-productions, originals, and remixes. If anyone has footage of Mr. May at Movement 2004, riding around on a golf cart, asking for donations through his megaphone, feel free to send that to me and I'll play that too :)

So anyway, listen Friday at 6PM to 90.3 FM or wzbc.org!

* There may be other people named Derrick May.
