Terry Francis
By the time we’d opened our doors in 1999, Terry Francis was already known as one of the key spearheads for London’s emerging tech house scene. Throughout the late 90s he was putting out innovative house records with a distinctive punchy flair via the likes of Wiggle, Eye 4 Sound, Swag, and Pagan - labels that are still highly treasured by today’s generation of upcoming DJs. Recently some of his classic works have been reissued for new audiences to discover, while he’s also revived his Eye 4 Sound imprint as an outlet for releasing his fresh material. When we were defining our Saturday night music policy, the London-based sound pioneered by Francis was one of our key inspirations, and he was enlisted to provide the sound track in our space every weekend. Other guests were invited to join us, but he was always at the heart of our sound world. He’s remained at the helm of Saturday nights at the club for the last two decades, consistently displaying a defined style of DJing that’s proven timeless. Like the seminal records he’s produced over the length of his career, he has true staying power.
