Дискография Todd Terry:

Born 18th April 1967 in Brooklyn, New York, pioneering American house producer & DJ, Todd Terry is one of the producers who helped to define New York's house music during the 1980s. Terry's productions can be described as a varied collection of samples blending the sounds of classic disco, the more introspective Chicago sound pioneered earlier in the decade, plus plenty of hip-hop attitude and sampling piracy. Much of Todd Terry's early work in the late 1980s is considered a milestone in the development of both progressive and modern deep house. Todd Terry has been responsible for releasing two of the most respected crossover remixes of the house era: "I'll House You" by the [a=Jungle Brothers] and "Missing" by [a=Everything But The Girl] by the mid 1990s. Among his fans, Todd Terry is known as 'Todd the God', 'God Terry', 'Todd Godrry', 'Godd Gerry' (or, occasionally, simply 'God', because he might be a Five Percenter, but this is unconfirmed). Todd's tracks "Something Goin' On" and "Keep on Jumpin'" were both UK Top 10 hits as well as US Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1s, with the vocals provided by [a=Jocelyn Brown] and [a=Martha Wash]. Freestyle diva [a=Shannon] was the featured vocalist on the Top 20 hit "It's Over Love" in 1997. In 1999, Todd Terry released "Resolutions", successfully embracing the then-still avant-garde drum 'n' bass aesthetics. Terry has used several aliases such as [a=Swan Lake], [a=Orange Lemon], [a=Royal House], [a=Black Riot], [a=CLS], [a=Masters at Work (2)] (although he later gave this moniker to [a=Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez] & [a=Louie Vega] in 1990), [a=Dred Stock], [a=House Of Gypsies], [a=Lime Life], [a=Hardhouse] and the [a=Gypsymen]. Todd Terry became one of the best-paid DJs in both Europe and the United States. He normally performs on four turntables, mostly playing his own tracks. Used to be managed by [a=Gary Salzman (2)].
