SENSATION! Todd Terry and Carl Cox will meet at one party in Moscow!

TODD TERRY

House music living legend, Todd Terry, refuses to label himself as a follower of a specific style. And he has every reason to do so: the track record of this super popular DJ, top producer, and remix master, who is literally torn apart by the monsters of the world scene, is hard to call monotonous. Todd's childhood in Brooklyn was marked by the rhythm of hip-hop, followed by a passion for Italian disco, and only later, with the rise of the era of house music, did his first serious works appear. Terry was at the origins of the super successful project 'Masters At Work', which still exists to this day. Combining solo creativity with production work and remixing, Todd Terry has earned the reputation of the godfather of New York house. His solo releases Todd Terry Project, House Of Gypsies, CLS have become recognized classics of the genre. Moving to England, Terry did not have to prove his star status in a new land. British journalists, following their American colleagues, dubbed him Todd the God. He became a resident at the 'Ministry of Sound' club, and in 1995, the compilation 'A Day In The Life' released by this label caused a sensation on the dance floor. That same year, he remixed the song 'Missing' for the duo 'Everything But The Girl', not only consolidating Terry's already solid position but also serving as a ticket to success for the young duo: the record sold over three million copies. Listing the remixes created by Todd Terry could take a long time. In this list, music lovers of all genres will recognize familiar names - from guitar rock to, of course, club stars: David Bowie, 'Duran Duran', Michael Jackson, Björk, 'Rolling Stones', Jamiroquai, George Michael, Kylie Minogue, 'Cardigans', 'Daft Punk', Shakira, 'ATB', 'Moloko' ... And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Who would refuse to entrust their creations to the master, during whose performance no one can even think of leaving the dance floor!

CARL COX

'Music was always playing in our home,' says Carl Cox today. 'I listened to all the records from my parents' collection - from Booker T to the divine Elvis. Then, when the records ran out, I started spending all my pocket money on new records. I evolved along with the musical trends - from soul to disco, then to hip-hop and acid house.' British clubbers first met Carl Cox in 1986, at the famous Shoom club parties. By then, a well-established DJ with excellent taste and great technique stood before the audience. But Carl Cox gained dance floor star status in 1988, after performing at the open-air Summer of Love, where 15 thousand people were amazed to see Cox skillfully handle three turntables at once. The next morning he woke up famous. Thereafter, journalists dubbed him 'The 3 deck wizard'. His skill was duly recognized - for three consecutive years, Muzik magazine named him 'DJ of the year'. In 1992, Cox started collaborating with Perfecto Records. His debut single 'I Want You' immediately reached the 23rd spot on the British chart. Soon, Carl founded his own label Worldwide Ultimatum and the international DJ agency Ultimate. At this time, he became the main promoter of techno music - his albums F.A.C.T.: Future Alliance of Communications and Tecknology became classics of the genre. The first part of the compilation was released in 1995 and sold an incredible 250,000 copies. In 1996, Carl Cox accepted the proposal of his colleague Nicky Holloway and organized the first Ultimate Base party at the Velvet Underground club. The noisy success of these parties led to the Ultimate Base series lasting for a long five years. The true classics of techno played here - from Dave Clarke to Josh Wink and Carl's DJ fame reached its peak by 2000. He performed at the most incredible parties: in front of a crowd of one and a half million at the Berlin Love Parade or at the New Year's Millennium Party in two locations simultaneously - different time zones allowed Carl Cox to celebrate New Year's twice (at a party at the Space club in Sydney and at the Bondi Pavilion in Honolulu). Today, Carl Cox is an absolute techno classic. His own radio show Global is broadcast in ten countries, collecting a weekly audience of 7 million listeners at their radio receivers. His signature parties at the Space club have been an absolute hit in Ibiza for three years now.
