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..?
