Todd N. Terry (born April 18, 1967)〔 is an American DJ, producer, and remixer. ==Career== Terry's productions extensively used samples blending the sounds of classic disco, the Chicago sound, and elements of hip-hop.〔Bush, John "(Todd Terry Biography )", Allmusic, retrieved 2011-07-02〕 Terry began in the 1980s by DJing at parties in New York, playing Italo disco and hip-hop - then later, house music, upon its mid-80s emergence.〔〔Larkin, Colin (1999) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0252-6, p.337〕 He debuted, as Masters at Work, with 12” “Alright Alright” (1987, Fourth Floor)〔"(Discogs:Masters at Work (Todd Terry):Alright Alright )", Discogs, retrieved 2013-07-30〕 and an edit from this was then included on 'Chicago house' vanguard compilation “Jackmaster 1” (1987, D.J.
