Explore Me by Randy Derricott

After a year of producing and tweaking, my debut studio album under my own name is seeing the light of day.

The idea for this concept album came from the suggestion of journaling that was provided to me when I was expressing issues arising from difficulty with social connections.

I've titled this album EXPLORE ME because I've noticed a trend in this fast paced society in which people are quick to write someone off before getting to know them on a deeper level. Before understanding what makes a person the way they are.

I consider music as the ultimate form of expression. One could consider this a way of deep diving into my mind. Sure, it's the usual Trance & Progressive House that I am known for, but also borrows influences from rock, industrial and even 8-bit gaming sounds and (in one track) a Japanese shamisen! This album conveys multiple emotions through each track, from curiousity, joy, sadness, frustration and ultimately, hope & fulfillment even without vocals present.

Ever wondered what makes me tick or how I think? Well, now is your opportunity to grab this album and EXPLORE ME.

There are multiple ways to enjoy this. For the DJs, you can download the extended mixes individually. For the listeners, purchasing the whole album will actually get you two versions of it: One with the tracks unmixed and in their entirety and another with the tracks DJ mixed by yours truly.
