From the late '80s, Todd Terry has been producing and performing music, mainly in the more club-oriented style of house music. Classics like Weekend and House Is A Feelin' are known by most lovers of house music and still played by many a DJ worldwide.
Terry's productions can be described as a varied collection of samples blending the sounds of classic disco, the more introspective Chicago sound pioneered earlier in the decade, plus plenty of hip-hop attitude and sampling piracy.[citation needed]
Much of Todd Terry's early work in the late 1980s is considered a milestone in the development of both progressive and modern deep house. Todd Terry has been responsible for releasing two of the most respected crossover remixes of the house era: "I'll House You" by the Jungle Brothers and "Missing" by Everything But the Girl by the mid 1990s.
Among his fans, Todd Terry is known as Todd the God, God Terry, Todd Godrry, Godd Gerry (or, occasionally, simply God, because he might be a Five Percenter, but this is unconfirmed).
Todd's tracks "Something Goin' On'" and "Keep on Jumpin'" were both UK Top-10 hits as well as Us Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1s, with the vocals provided by Jocelyn Brown and Martha Wash. Freestyle diva Shannon was the featured vocalist on the Top Twenty hit "It's over Love" in 1997.
In 1999 Todd Terry released Resolutions, successfully embracing the then-still avant-garde Drum-n-Bass aestethics.
Terry also has several aliases such as Swan Lake, Orange Lemon, Royal House, Amy Studt, Black Riot, CLS, Masters at Work (although this moniker he gave to Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez & "Little" Louie Vega), Dredd Stock, House of Gypsies, Limelife, Hard House, Tyme Forse, Gypsymen.
Todd Terry became one of the best-paid DJs in both Europe and the United States. He normally performs on four turntables, mostly playing his own tracks.
In October 2004, Weekend by the Todd Terry Project appeared in popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on House music radio station SF-UR.

@Agent Orange the DJ Marley Marl and others were doing the same stuff. They used a drum machine to trigger the sampler. This is before the common use of midi. It's done with triggers. And the Korg DD-2000 has them.
The RZ1 let's you either: step in your events, or play them in realtime. I'm sure he triggered the samples recording the events into the casio in realtime.
So, yeah, he technically played them by hand. :)
But he didn't play the sample by hand through out the whole track. lol
He played them in for 4 bars or whatever, and then edited or looped, or lengthened the sequence. Much like we do today!
But course, he recorded to tape too, and edited, much like we don't do today. haha. thank god!
Agent Orange the DJ
So to explain.. I had to start with episode 2 because the interview part for ep1 is not ready yet, coming soon though!

I've always loved Todd Terry's music. When I dj, I still throw them on and they still cause hell with my listeners. One day I was in Sheepshead Bay on Homecrest Avenue and was introduced to Todd by a friend who lived in the building. He tells me, This is Todd, He's a dj too. Sure, he didn't tell me he was Todd Terry. I would have shit myself and would have come back with my 12 inch singles to ask him to autograph them. Good old days of Todd Terry house music. Today's music is shit.
Agent Orange the DJ
Hahaha this is awesome. There is a lot of great music still being made today, it’s just harder to find 🎶
