Derek Staples loves to dance, and will stop at nothing to find the newest beats to keep his body gyrating. As product of South Florida clubs and the Midwest rave culture, if a producer has been hyped he has probably stayed up into the wee hours of the morning exploring the digital soundscapes. A consummate student, he frequents Detroit and Chicago for an ongoing education on the roots of dance music. May be allergic to dust, but will gladly dive head first into vintage vinyl heavily dosed on Benadryl.
