Todd Terje – Essential Mix (2013)
More: Playlists
Artist: Todd Terje
Date: Feb 15, 2021
Todd Terje is perhaps most widely recognised for 2012’s ‘Inspector Norse’, however he first came to our attention with the chugging dance floor weapon ‘Ragysh’, which earnt itself the number 5 spot in Resident Advisors Top 50 tracks of 2011. Ragysh actually marked a return to the music community after a 5 year hiatus for the Scandinavian, and since then, for want of a better cliché, he hasnt looked back. ‘Inspector Norse’ quickly followed with its summery melodic synth setting a warm twinkling thread for future records, such as Hot Chips – How Do You Do? remix and his most recent records ‘Lanzarote’ and ‘Strandbar’. If you enjoy uplifting analogue synths underpinned by a cool disco edge then you would be hard pressed to look any further than Todd Terje. Whilst the following Essential Mix does not include any of his own records you do get the feeling that his records fully reflect his music libray. This is no standard Essential Mix, rather than reaching for the latest dance floor heaters, Todd Terje has elected to delve into what is a clearly a crate diggers paradise. Essential Mix of the year?
Once again thanks to Pete Tong and Radio 1 for this Mix.
