Todd the God's essential dance hits, mixed by Anthony Acid.
-
We Say...
Few dance producers deserve a mix devoted solely to their own music. Then again, few dance producers have had the impact of Todd Terry. Frequently regarded as the man who birthed New York-style house music, Terry’s nickname fits the deed: “Todd the God.” The twist that Terry brought was simply down to influence. Unlike the vast majority of the DJs and producers who emerged from the Paradise Garage scene, Terry was a full-fledged hip-hop and Latin/freestyle devotee. (Need we remind you of his classic Jungle Brothers’ production “I’ll House You”?) Thus, his brand of breakbeat-inflected dance music helped win over both crowds — especially in 1988 when he unleashed a massive string of hits including "Can You Party," "A Day in the Life," "Bango," "Weekend" and "The Texican," all of which are included here on Anthony Acid’s mix. Essential.

They Say...
More of a full-fledged hits collection than Sound of Ministry's A Day in the Life..., Todd Terry's Greatest Hits includes all of the seminal house producer's earliest, best moments: "Bango (To the Batmobile)," "A Day in the Life," "I Wanna Go Bang," "Weekend," "Party People," and "Can You Party." What's even better is that the compilers avoided the rather dry atmosphere of a retrospective by drafting Anthony Acid to place the tracks into a continuous set and play with the mix a bit. Placed alongside needed retrospectives (like Warp10+1) of the Detroit and Chicago scenes, Todd Terry's Greatest Hits takes the immense claim of early-period New York house's raw pulse and street aesthetics, staking it halfway between disco and hip-hop. Listeners wanting a summation of what house music meant in the late '80s and '90s would be hard-pressed to find a better release than this one.
