Terje Saether is a producer from the dark and cold north, from the land of the polar bear and aquavit, Norway. He was born in the year 1973 and early in the dark 80’s he fell in love with Pet Shop Boys and The Cure. Later he discovered KLF, Leftfield, Coldcut and Underworld, among the grungy sounds of the 90s; Alice in Chains, Faith No More and Nirvana. His love for DJing and music production started with a Commodore 64 and home made turntables and a mixer. Today he continues to explore dark and twisted sounds in his music. The style of his music is deep and atmospheric house with a touch of techno, glazed with techy grooves and spiced with minimal bleeps and creeps. Terje has released tracks and EPs on Nick Warrens Renaissance Masters Series, Night Drive Music, Savoir Records, Frisky Records, Lucidflow, Wasabi Records, UCM, Budenzauber, Dobbelgaenger, Hope Recordings, Crossfade Sounds, Baroque Records and Darkroom Dubs, with remixes from Of Norway, Gregory Thyme, Klartraum, Nadja Lind, Eelke Kleijn, Joff Logartz, Demian, MUUI and Lonya.
“This mix is bit different than the other mixes I usually do,” Terje told me “This time I chose songs that represent several influences in my musical taste and periods in my life.”
