In 2004, John Digweed's Bedrock label signed two EPs from young progressive prodigy Derek Howell which went on to become two of the bestselling releases on the label. Since then, Derek has had a handful of singles and remixes on the Proton Music label.

Now he returns with a three track EP featuring the classic progressive sounds that have made Derek one of the most respected young producers in the scene today. Enjoy!

01. Le Semilla Pequena
02. Jury Duty
03. Just The Way It Is

Im not too keen on Derek's latest works tbh. It seems to me that all the crazy twinkling effects, that made his last tunes, have somehow become quite dull in these.

+1 for the effort and legacy though and Im sure hope that we will see a stronger Derek Howell in the future!

I think it's a pretty decent release overall, with Le Semilla Pequena being my favourite. That being said, I feel his previous work was better. Really waiting on Opencloud's forthcoming compilation on Proton now

Interestingly enough, La Semilla Pequena is one of his older works. It is from 2004 or so, that is why it resembles the darker and more melodic Howell. I agree with you. I liked his older productions as well.

Taking a listen to the samples now, I usually like what Derek puts out...very underated producer.
