My first experience seeing him spin was memorable like that too. It was at this big outdoor rave outside of Pittsburgh... He rolled in in a limo with two fine ladies, and proceeded to kill it!! I had never seen anyone attack records and a mixer like that, and it really made me appreciate what it means to get into it with the crowd, and not just play records.
The best part was when some dude jumped up onto stage near the end of the set and picked up Derrick's headphones and was acting like a dick... In TOTALLY CLASSIC fashion, derrick stepped in front of the tables and in one swift move, he blasted the guy in the chest with both of his hands and threw him off of the stage! The stage was about 6 feet high. What I also remember about that night was hearing jaguar for the first time. Alan Oldham was playing, it was raining lightly, the lasers were crazy, and hearing that on a huge outdoor system was really nice.

It showed me what it means to be a truly professional DJ. I've often thought of sharing it with the list. The evening went something like this.....
