When: Friday 11th March 2022
Where: The Warehouse in Leeds
Bearded synth-wizard, Todd Terje, as many of you readers out there will already know, is a producer who's music is kind of hard to put a finger on. Not one to be pigeonholed, his abstract sounding, funk-laden-disco take on house music is one that's gained him acclaim the world over.
Packed full of arpeggiators, keys, drum machines and synths, his output has a particularly retro feel to it, perhaps best heard on his biggest track to date 'Inspector Norse'. Regardless, however, its music that's seriously hard to resist. Involuntary foot tapping and head bopping quickly lead into full body shaking, arms flailing, dance floor purposed moves.
Don't believe us? Grab a ticket to his upcoming show in Leeds this March and tell us you didn't end up leaving it all out there on the floor. We dare you.
