This is just a guess, but back when I was dj-ing in high school (86-87) I think there was an LA label called 'Techno Pop' which released techno tracks disguised as a form of hip-hop (I think Cli-n-tel was one of the artists with "2030") The artwork on the label was red and yellow...along the same lines of "Surgery" (Dr. Dre) and Unknown DJ. Maybe that's what Derrick was referring to..?
