Buried treasure #4+5: ADTDC - DJ Q/Glasgow Jazz (Derrick Carter remix)

In 1997-1998, I started to get a new interest in house music. A couple of years before, I had discovered the Music Man shop in Ghent, and had lost my heart to Detroit techno. I still remember the excitement when buying those first Carl Craig & Derrick May 12 inches. Even though they had been released years before, they still sounded like the future. And gradually I lost interest in house. Until Filter Records released DJ Q's We are one EP, which featured a Carl Craig remix. This C2 remix was the reason why I picked it up without even listening to it. And when I came home I was blown away by it and the original version. I picked up all other DJ Q releases on Filter and Glasgow Underground during the next years.
The amazing thing about these tracks is that they still sound as fresh as ever. We are one is still an anthem, obviously, but lately I've been playing out Derrick Carter's remix of Glasgow Jazz (Delirious EP, Filter 031) a lot. It has this typical minimalistic Carter groove that is just so enormously funky and very atmospheric keys.
And today, I stumbled across DJ Q's excellent Twentyfour7even LP (Filter, 2000). For some reason it had ended up in the wrong spot in my collection. I put it on the turntables and ADTDC (A dedication to Derrick Carter) really stood out: a simple yet funky groove and those typical Carter horns on top of them (remember Theme from Blue Cucaracha?). Excellent stuff.
