I already knew about Mr. Magic, but Derek B... Frown

"Rock The Beat" is a classic! I bought the 12" back in 1987. It's still one of my favorite tracks from that year! In 1988, I bought that dope-ass "Bullet From A Gun" LP and the remix he did for Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's "It Takes Two", which was/is better than the original, in my opinion! Also can't forget the remix he did for Eric B.& Rakim's "Paid In Full"! No No That dude had mad talent! Nod Yes Cool



R.I.P. Frown

And in mine! The Derek B 'Tuff Audio' mix is absolutely slamming, I'll have to dig that out.
