“I’m going to be doing a show,” he answers, when questioned as to the likelihood of returning to production. “It’s going to be here in Detroit, it’s going to be an exclusive performance by myself and Carl Craig. We’re working on it right now, the idea, and we’re going to be playing keyboards and performing live. This is not a pre-recorded computer set, so I have to go back in the studio to do that – there is no way around it. So yes I guess you can say I’m going back in the studio.”
*** Also, I actually found the following interesting, and while perhaps a bit convenient for an artist who hasn't produced in years, I see his point: But there is a downside to these rumblings of action, as May explains. “If I was going to do it – go back in the studio full time and really devote myself to it – then I actually would stop playing records, completely. Because in my mind, you can’t play records and then go and make them. It fucks with the creative process. You end up being subconsciously influenced by what you just heard. I never understand these guys who go into the studio and then the next day they’re playing a party. I don’t get it. I don’t like to believe I make music just for the dance floor. If I did I’d be disappointed with myself, I like to believe I make romantic stories, or dark stories. But making something just for the dance floor seems quite contrary.” http://www.beat.com.au/content/derrick-may
