Todd Terje is a Norwegian DJ, songwriter and producer whose distinctive music combines disco, house, electronica, funk and vintage synthesiser sounds. Born Terje Olsen in Mjøndalen, Norway, he adopted the Todd Terje name as a playful tribute to American house producer Todd Terry.

Terje first attracted international attention during the 2000s through a series of edits and remixes that introduced forgotten disco, funk and electronic recordings to contemporary dance floors. His detailed production style and unconventional selections helped establish him as a leading figure within Norway’s influential space-disco movement.

Original productions including Eurodans, Ragysh and Snooze 4 Love strengthened his reputation, but the 2012 release Inspector Norse became his defining track. Its joyful melody, intricate synthesis and irresistible rhythm earned widespread acclaim and introduced his music to a much larger international audience.

In 2014, Terje released his debut studio album It’s Album Time. The album brought together disco, lounge music, electronic pop and cinematic influences, and included a version of Robert Palmer’s Johnny and Mary featuring Bryan Ferry.

Known for combining musical precision with humour and warmth, Todd Terje has developed a catalogue that sounds both technically accomplished and effortlessly enjoyable. His work remains an important part of modern Scandinavian electronic and disco music.
