TODD TERJE:
Melting Pot finally get their man! The disco re-edit and remixing machine that is Todd Terje has been on our radar for years now, but dates have never worked out till now! What better time to get him than just after the release of his Remaster of the Universe compilation on the prolific Permanent Vacation label. Drawing together his biggest remixes over a double CD release including the massive dancefloor reworkings of Lindstrom, Sh*t Robot, Dolle Jolle and Studio amongst a host of others.

After hooking up with Prins Thomas and Lindstrom in Olso around 10 years ago, the Norwegian Balearic Disco invasion began. Re-editing a whole host of artist from the likes of Paul Simon, Michael Jackson – the awesome Tangoterje “I Can’t Help It”, to Chic on the Supreme edits series, Terje captured the imagination of a whole generation of disco hunters who’d been brought up on the dubby disco sounds of The Idjuts, DJ Harvey, etc. Next up were some original productions with “Eurodans” on Prins Thomas’ Full Pupp causing some serious damage!

Remix requests started coming in. Terje transfused the concept of his edits onto his remixes and created a totally new sound cosmos for every track. In most cases they didn’t have much to do with the original tracks, only few fragments from the original were necessary to slice and juice up with his own ingredients, usually resulting in sure shot dancefloor material. Not many remixers puts this much love into their tracks, this makes every remix coming from Terje’s end of the table sound like Billboard Top 20 material!

When he’s not holed up in his studio he’s to be found DJing across the world on a weekly basis – showing us that’s he’s not just a producer, but a rather fantastic DJ to boot. Terje is going to kick start the autumn session of MP in fine style!
