Derek howell - happy to be sad

Was wondering why no-one has previously mentioned this tune. Picked it up the other day from juno.

One of the best tunes I've heard this year, out on bedrock.

Reminds me of a trance from the mid 90's.

10/10.

My favourite is 'Medicine man' though

You are weird my friend...and above all, you spend way too much money on vinyl

Derek Howell is massive

Really enjoy listening to his track . I also like his track called Western High . Derek does a nice job producing a laid-back trance that makes you just relax and forget about everything.Also , his alias in Pinkbox Special , is also impressive , especially "Simple"
That track just touched my soul.Keep it up Derek!

I love Derek Howell's style, his music along with many of the people he's closely associated with (Peter Martin for example) are what I truly consider to be "trance". I hope he continues to get bigger and eventually will land a few compilations on Bedrock or something. I'd love to hear a chillout/ambient disc from him.
