Listening History

Toronto, Canada
Derek Codlin
Toronto based Dj and producer, Derek Codlin’s deep hypnotic basslines and grooving pulsing beats make him the storyteller, taking you on an anfractuous journey.
First appearing in 1995, Codlin’s sets have moved many a dance floor across Toronto from old school favourites like the Living Room as a repeated name alongside Andy Roberts and Dino & Terry, to air time on Global Groove Radio 100.7 with Nathan Barato & Carlos Fuerte, he’s also played alongside Kerri Chandler, Jovonn, Roy Davis Jr, DJ Romain, Kai Alcé and Alton Miller. In 2006, Codlin released his first vinyl production entitled “Nina’s Moan” which hit #1 on New York Dance Tracks for 2 weeks straight.
Despite this strong beginning in the Toronto house music scene, Codlin made the decision to take a hiatus from public events. Focused on producing and continuing to evolve his style and technical skill, Codlin spent hours in his studio creating different sounds and his own beats while keeping under the radar
