Rough Trade Essential

DJ and producer from Norway. Todd Terje, born Olsen, initially trained to become a pianist but found limited exposure to jazz at his local music school. He later pursued physics at the University Of Oslo. Growing up in a rural village, dance music influences were scarce until the early-mid 1990s when it infiltrated even remote parts of Norway. Inspired by tapes brought home by his sister from Tore Kroknes, Terje began experimenting with house and jungle music in his early teens. His love for disco was ignited after hearing Bjørn Torske's "Sexy Disco" in 1999.

In 2001, Terje connected with Prins Thomas and Hans-Peter Lindstrøm in Oslo. Influenced by the UK generation of disco heads, he started creating re-edits of old disco records and producing his own tracks. Paying homage to house music producer [a4116], he adopted the stage name Todd Terje.

With a unique blend of musical training and diverse influences, Todd Terje has become known for his innovative approach to electronic music production.

Oslo disco-dance champ, DJ and producer Todd Terje finally releases his debut long-player 'It's Album Time' via his own Olsen Records. Ever since Todd dropped 'Eurodans' back in 2005 he's had many a beady disco eye trained in his direction. His grooves are effortless and his melodies infectious! Here he puts all his experience and nordic sense of fun into twelve tracks of straight up home listening pleasure. It comes packing the huge 'Strandbar' and 'Inspector Norse' tracks, it's got a guest spot from Bryan Ferry on a version of Robert Palmer's 'Johnny and Mary' and in between all that it jumps for joy around his own lit-up balearic world. With killer artwork from illustrator Bendik Kaltenborn this is one solid debut and one that's sure to feature throughout 2014.
