Give Todd Terry credit for not standing still. Having long ago conquered the club world and then briefly making radio safe for house music – in the guise of his remix of Everything But The Girl’s "Missing" – Todd Terry could’ve continued cashing in on simply being Todd Terry. His reputation in the dance music community cased forever, pricey remixes and high-end European DJ gigs could’ve paid the bills and bought the toys, while he made slammin’ house records in perpetuity. It’s a situation many DJs would envy, but as Terry will tell you, that’s not what he’s about. more >>>>

Iowa is better known for its corn crop, tenderloin sandwiches and "Field of Dreams" than its DJs. But in recent years Des Moines DJ crew the Sound Proof Coalition has tried to change that perception. One member, 22-year-old Sid Wilson, has helped raise the Iowa capitol’s music profile as the DJ for ultra-metal rock troupe Slipknot. By adding well-placed scratches and noisy soundscapes to the group’s otherwise pulverizing attack, Wilson – aka DJ Starscream aka "0" – infuses a little turntablism flavor to Slipknot’s accelerated din. On the group’s latest release, Slipknot (I Am/TVT), Wilson’s scratching stands as the centerpiece to the rhythmic cruncher "Purity" and his phase-shifted deck work adds a creepy character to the deliberate gut-puncher "Prosthetics." more >>>>

I was thinking just that, last fall, as I was assembling my marketing packet for the annual bridal-show rite. There had to be some creative way to incorporate my "sales pitch" to brides in a medium that didn’t appear to be such an obvious selling tool. I stumbled across an idea from Teri Elwyn of Music To Go in St. Louis. For years, Teri has been publishing the Music To Go Bridal News, which she hands out at bridal shows. more >>>>
