Todd Terje
If the last 10 years have proved anything, it’s that Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje knows how to fill dance floors. But, rather surprisingly, this king of neo-disco—despite spreading his infectious electronica across countless EPs and remixes—has never released a full-length until now.
