The Return of Mr. Wade Nichols

Todd Terje is Wade Nichols

I feel like you can never go wrong when it comes to Todd Terje edits. Todd Terje, aka Tangoterje, aka Wade Nichols, aka who else knows, not only does a nice job bringing out the best elements of the songs that he chooses to re-edit, he usually selects from some of the most uncommon choices of disco, afro-latin rock, prog, cosmic, and commercial pop. There must be close to a hundred of them floating around on the web by now. Well, you can add another to your collection (assuming you don’t already have the track), with Terje’s edit of Dee Dee Sharp Gamble’s “Easy Money”. The orginal track appeared on her 1980 titled LP, Dee Dee. The edit definitely has a smooth, but somewhat sassy disco groove that I just can’t seem to get enough of lately.

And if your more interested in hearing some of his more rock sounding edits, I would reccommend checking out his new re-edit 12”, Rvng Of The Nrds Vol. 5, under the Wade Nichols identity. On this release, Terje takes on some interesting radio rock classics, including America’s “Horse With No Name” and Canned HeatOn The Road Again”.

Regardless, of the genre Mr. Terje decides to tangle with, he always seems to be on the cutting edge of the growing world of twelve inch re-edits.
