Title TBA (Olsen)
Release Date: Late March
The Skinny: With the new year, Todd Terje celebrates his first full decade of releasing music: His debut single, "Eurodans," earned him a co-writing credit on Robbie Williams' 2012 single "Candy." He has remixed everyone from Franz Ferdinand to Roxy Music. And over the past few years, his singles — "Ragysh," "Snooze 4 Love," "Inspector Norse," "Lanzarote," "Strandbar," plus "Spiral" and "Q" — have won hearts and minds across dance music's fractured landscape, while helping to fuel pop music's ongoing love affair with disco. ("Strandbar" was No. 17 in SPIN's 50 Best Songs of 2013 and No. 2 in our 50 Best Dance Tracks of the year.) Unlike Lindstrom and Prins Thomas, the other two-thirds of the Nor-disco holy trinity, the Oslo-based producer has never released an album, but that changes in March. We don't know much about his debut long-player, which he recently mastered at Oslo's Propeller Mastering (Motorpsycho, Lindstrom, Jaga Jazzist), beyond the fact that it will feature some of his 2013 singles and "lots of new material," according to his manager. But expect plenty of sneaky chord changes, peppy melodies, and a palette as vivid as the Northern Lights.
Worth Noting: The record will feature an appearance from Bryan Ferry, whose "Alphaville" and "Don't Stop the Dance" Terje previously remixed. P.S.
Listen: "Strandbar"
