"I like my music very fruity. Lots of percussion, lots of silly effects," explains Todd Terje. "But I still need that dubbiness and spaciousness. It's a strange combination."
Had a blast a while back now, attempting to compile some works of Todd Terje and his eponymous Disco stocks. The Norwegian is a master of the simple 'rekutts' and extended edits of some great tropically blended and disco scented songs that burn the dance floor with 'get down' actions and flame drizzled crusades of the boogie kind. These tracks are not flashes of brilliance in overlayed tonal assualts. Rather, Todd Terje deems the song perfect to the point of making it friendly for the new local disco. Which sometimes, just means a more dignified beat and baseline that twitches the hips. Any good night out of mine would involve a good Todd Terje rendition on the DF or during the pre-drinks game. Fun all around.
First Track is the scintillating big gal Chaka Khan with the famously sampled intro & outro, that fools many a club dancers. Also thrown in, a personal disco delight with signature dance move not included.
Burn et Upa!
