The Terje man cometh…
Friday 7th November l Polaroid Presents�
TODD TERJE
Polaroid is back at our Wire home after being on the road of late and we have lined up a belter. Todd Terje makes up the holy trinity of Norwegian nu-disco producers along with his peers Prins Thomas and Hans-Peter Lindstr�m. Born Terje Olsen in Mj�ndalen, a rural outpost in Norway he later moved to Oslo where he adopted the Todd Terje moniker in a sly nod to house pioneer Todd Terry. At 27 he has racked up more re-edits and re-works of old disco, house and pop tracks than you can shake a dusty 12� at. From Chic to Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon to Jose Gonzales, Terje has gained a reputation for putting an original dance floor spin on long forgotten gems. It�s not just his re-edits that have caught the ear; 2005�s �Eurodans� was a soaring piece of blissful disco-house that put him on the map, his remix of Lindstr�m�s �Another Station�, an electronic masterpiece and this year�s huge rework of Simon Baker�s �Plastik� with its overdubs of Eastern percussion and live elements hint at him maturing as a producer. Do not miss this rare chance to catch him play in our intimate space which we guarantee will be a treat�
In support the Night Flight boys take time out from throwing the best parties in Dublin to get things started with a fusion of electronic disco and house. The guys have put on some exceptional parties this year with the likes of Joakim, Prins Thomas and Francois K, so they know a thing or two about good music. To complete this month�s line up, Bobby returns for his first Polaroid gig since his triumphant set at Bestival. Read the rest of this entry »
