"Derrick Carter is no doubt one of the smoothest Dj's around. Known all over the world, Derrick's sound is quite unique. Hard, soft, fast, slow, sporadic, and everything you can expect from a Dj. I heard this album at it release in Chicago, where I had to get it. This was one of the first albums on a CD format that had a true House feel that you'd expect from a tape. Every song was either classic or on the verge of being discovered. (There even is a version of "The only way" included but not on the track listings.) The album has Derrick Carter (aka Chicago) written all over it, with the crazy vocal intro to the tight mixing and diversity of tracks. Cosmic Disco is a definite add on to any collection or a must for starters."

It's Derrick- nothing else needs to be said

"This cd is a true representation of Derrick. Those of you unable to get ahold of the countless bootleged live sets can take heart with this one. Unlike the 'Many Shades of Cajual' release of years back, this one lets Derrick choose from spectrum of music, not limited to a specific label as some DJ cd require. While nothing equals seeing the master live, this cd does equal tapes that often float around. The songs are 3 years old now, but Derrick (and Chicago) has always been about 3 years ahead of Mainstream trends (and they both ALWAYS set the trend!)"
