Derek's live mixes are insanely good. I've seen his show "Burn the floor" in a number of different venues in the USA, and each time walked away astounded by the precision, depth, clarity and balance in the mix.
I also saw his show "DrumStruck" in Australia, and was impressed on a similar level.
Exceptional professionalism and sonic genius.
